Excerpt from The Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pedology, 1897, Vol. 19I venture to make these matters of precaution emphatic, because I have seen so marked disregard Of them in the practice of many physicians, but it is unnecessary to enter upon details here.The physician is not unfrequently called to women who have received no medical attention during, or immediately succeeding, the abortive act, and to others who have been seen by a physician only after the extruded matter has been destroyed. In the first instance it was presumed by the patient and her friends that the total product of conception had been expelled, and the physician was called at last because Of hemorrhage or signs of septic infection. In the second instance, the medical attendant who was called, not having the extruded substances for examination, and finding no clear evidence of incomplete abortion, probably assumed that the uterus was empty. In such instance the time ulti mately arrived when evidence of partial retention became conclusive, and made clear the demand for some form of intervention looking to uterine clearance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
