“INDUSTRIAL” SURGERY
NEED IN NEW ZEALAND OPINIONS OF AMERICAN [ Per Press Association.] AUCKLAND, Feb. 6. There is room in New Zealand for the development of “industrial” surgery in the opinion of Dr. David J. Jones, head physician for the city, of Chicago, who is returning to America in the Mariposa. “You must have surgeons who understand and specialise in the treatment of broken backs, fractured skulls, and many other types of accident injuries suffered by municipal, State and industrial employees, and let them concentrate on this kind of work,” he said. “Experience in other countries shows that thousands of pounds can be saved when industrial firms, municipal bodies, and Governments adopt a surgical service for their employees. The idea is to have a number of specialists engaged almost wholly on this work. Such a system protects the employer against exaggerated and dishonest claims.”
