Personal. MEDICAL BLUNDERING. TO TUB EDITOR. 5 Mr,—ln the hope that the Medical Union may take the matter up, 1 send you the following, the accuracy ,' of which I can vouch for»— Eight months ago A. happened to meet with a _ simple Iracture—thigh. It was soon set, and all went i well. Unfortunately Dr. X. was brought from town ' to see the patient. Rβ did nothing particular, because nothing was needed ; ho charged £26, and was aw»y j from Auckland twenty-four hours, r.ast Christmas the patient was brought to town, and was doing very well. Many saw that tho two legs were eqr.%l length. •' Dr. X. advised chloroforming, so as to supple tho knee joint, which was a little stiff; so long in splints. Another doctor came and gave the chloroform. " Patient was laid serosa the bed, legs over th* side. • Dr. X. being behind the hack of the other doctor, seized the unfortunate injured leg by the ancle, worked up and down with hie fnll force for a few seconds, using the edge of the bad and ■ his knee for a fulcrum, when a crack like the report of a pistol, took plaie, and the job was dene—for the thigh was again fractured in tha old place. He then ' at once dragged the insensible patinnt standing up, " and brought the weight of the body on to the bad leg; saying, ''Lean on it, you are all right now." Tbi» caused at once a displacement of the broken " bones, and made them overlap three inches, driving the two jagged ends into the muscles and flesh, where 'i thoy remaiu to this day. Pationt never slept for '.' four days or'nighls, although large doses of laudanum - were giyen. The thigh swelled to a mons roui size, _ and the agony was ten times more than the first fraci tnre. Dr. X. called five times, and always said that , matter* were going on all right, &c,, in his boisterous • manner; but h»d not the humanity to say that '* the thigh was again fractured, and ought to ba • set at once, and that the patient should be very '• cautious in moving. From that day to thie the _ patient can only lio at night in ono position ; BUff»re martyrdom, and has bean dipgging an unset, datuling, broken limb, and was kept in ignorance by Dr. X. D Suspecting wrong, Dr. X. was dismissed ; and, when 'i too late, aevoral other doctors were called in, who told Q the truth about the matter, and were horrified. Now, " the unfortunate patient, who aftor eight months, can only crawl ahout one room on crutches, six months , ago was f»r better, and both legs were equal length, ' and will be maimed, crippled, and deformed for life. 11 Thi» Dr. x. committed three villinies—he fraotnred 8 the leg—he made it be stood on heavily, j u»t after e hob oku it, causing frightful pain and overlapping— '• and he n»rer told that It was fractured and should be re-set. The reason for his rascality was because he saw there was money In it, There was • paid £80 for medical attendance, 4c.,- and more could be made by putting tho patient back. There are too many docton, times are bad, and il faut . vivre. 1 say, no !je nevois pas 1» neceseite in Dr. , X.'s caie. Mr. Carr, who broke his leg in Queenstreet, did well to go to the Hotpltal. There are doctors and doctors ; only well-known, respectable, hon' est men should be employed. There are villains who would not scruple to give a wrong pill, if they could , make money, preventinir a man from too quick a re--1 covery. Such »cls are hutchery. cruelty, and hearti less. Talk of cruelty to animals ! And then one pays well a fiend—not a man—to act thns. Are such deeds i. creditable to the Medical Union, or the profession ?—I '• »m, etc., ANTI-LANCET. » j\/l P.. L. H.
