SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS
AN APPEAL FROM AUCKLAND. Press Association. AUCKLAND, July 7At a meeting of the Hospital Board a discussion tools place in regard to the shortage of doctors owing to so many medical men offering their sendees to the Defence Department. The chairman. stated that at the present time there were only two junior doctors in residence at the hospital instead of five, while the tivo remaining had also volunteered for service at the front. There was a danger, he understood, of the twenty-eight medical students going up for the next examination, at Dunedin University being absorbed for military service, and accordingly he had telegraphed to the Inspector-General of Hospitals, placing before him the hospital’s need of juniors. There was also a need for doctors to administer anaesthetics.
