Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Pathological and Operative Obstetrics
Regard for the welfare Of the unborn child is growing year by year. This entails a more careful supervision of the patient, during pregnancy and labor, and the early recognition and treatment of the various Obstetric acci dents. The attendant must recognize that he is treating two patients, and that the rights Of both are to be respected. For the mother to endure the disability due to pregnancy, and the suffering of labor, with its consequences, and then to be presented with a dead child, is a serious calamity. The fundamental principle in Obstetrics is to deliver a healthy child in a manner which traumatizes or otherwise damages both mother and child in the last possible manner. It is not sufficient to measure Obstetrical success by the num ber of living mothers and babies, but the morbidity, which may incapacitate the patient must always be considered.
