Excerpt from An Address Entitled: Some Reflections, Mainly Ethical, on the Present Position of Operations in the Practice of Surgery; Being the Annual Oration of the Medical Society of London, Delivered on May 18th, 1903
The promise Of such enormous benefits from operative treatment which could be used with com paratively small risk was followed by an amount Of energy and enthusiasm in the direction Of this radical form of treatment and in the invention Of operations, which came at one time perilously near to the limits of reason and there seemed a danger that the operation influence would reach to the dignity of an Obsession - a condition Of things which hardly tended to the best interests of surgery. The pendulum has in due course commenced its backward swing and a position has now been reached from which the rational bearings of surgical operations generally may be considered In relation to the risks which they entail, the benefits which are derivable from them, and the limits which legitimately control their application.
