Ginnie, we are talking about history
Back in the early 1900's.

In my edition of this book, page 60
Has a lot of detail, and surprising to
Me many subsequent pages. I am
Still in chapter 4 which is the pernicious
Anemia history, and Mayo was removing
Spleens for that too. I am reading another book
Called The Forest and trading back and forth.

We have no TV here. So I tend to read a lot.

The bibliography details many medical
Papers at that time of the continuing
Arguments between radical surgeries (at
Mayo) and other doctors who believed
These surgeries were fatal and unnecessary .

One needs to really read in context because the rise in
Abdominal surgeries was the real problem at that time
And lead to unnecessary suffering and death.
