HOSPITAL STAFF.
PROTEST TO BOARD. WELLINGTON INCIDENT. Per Press Association. AYELLINGTON, Alarch. 18. A protest against several of the statements made at a meeting of the board on February 27, a statement that it was not true that any major surgery was performed by house surgeons without supervision, and the opinion that a remark that patients had been “mauled about by boys” was unjustified and must bring the whole hospital into disrepute, were made in a letter received from the resident medical staff of Wellington Hospital by the chairman and considered by the board at a special meeting tonight. “As already several of our number have noticed a change in the attitude of some patients in professional matters, we would appreciate an indication as to whether the board has or has not confidence in the residential staff,” the letter stated. The board carried a motion assuring the resident medical staff that no reflection had been cast by the board on their services and expressing the fullest confidence in their professional work. ... The chairman (Air F- Castle) said he did not suggest that the board as a whole had made any reflection oil the capabilities of the staff in any way. If by inference the resident staff had understood statements or inferences made to be supported by the board, then in his opinion they were quite wrong. -
