After the operation, blood gushed from her mouth, plaintiff alleged. Dr. Douglas was called in by Kirklaud, and asked: "What have you been doing? Have you ever seen an artery cut like this?" Dr. Douglas stitched the wound and later Kirklaud removed the stitches. A further operation was required, because the gum and cheek were adhering. She was in hospital for seven days. Two doctors gave evidence in support of plaintiff. The case was adjourned.
