POST-GRADUATE COURSE.
INSTRUCTION IN MID-WIFERY (by TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.) CHRISTCHURCH, Aug. 22. The view that post-graduate instruction of medical practitioners in midwifery is necessary, even if only to combat the very prevalent belief that surgery is a cure for the lack of obstetrical experience, is advanced by Dr. Henry Jellett, of Christchurch, consulting obstetrician to the Health Department, in a report to the department on maternal welfare. He added: “I refer particularly to the increasing tendency, not only in New Zealand, but elsewhere, to perform caesarean section for so many types of obstetrical complication.”
