Surgery by Wireless.
“Surgery by wireless” is the latest. According to an American contemporary, a labourer on Swan Island, whose only connection with the outside world is by means of wireless telegraphy, had a foot crushed in an accident. There were no medical books at hand,- and there was no one near who had any surgical experience. Thereupon the “wireless” operator called up the surgeon of the nearest ship, and got him to explain in detail how an amputation should be carried out.
