Knight said he did not dispute the fact that many records wero nob kept, but that they took them away he doniod. He might say -hey came to the meeting un biassed by what had occurred in the past, aud with a wish to bury the hatchet for the in hire. Mr Lennox expressed pleasure at hearing Dr. Knight approach the Board in such a conciliatory manner. Asa matter of fact, Eoih were right. That minute book was the only record, but ib was the private pro- of the Staff. He might say that when thoy made the change it was in the interests of the Hospital, but still they were thankful to the Staff for services ren dered in the paeb. He had learned that their House Surgeon had been wrong in thinking that professional etiquette pre vcitad him from attending a patient of another medical man when he was absent. What they wanted was a man who would be responsible to the Board and yet work ■ amicably wibh the Medical Staff. Mr Mays pointed out that ib was one of the rules of bhe Board that an attendance book should be kept. The grievance of tho Board had been that under tho Medical Staff there had been a systematic ignoring of thab rule. They would see that rule 16 was a3 follows :—" Every member of the Honorary Staff shall at the time of each official visit sign his name in a book kept for the purpose in the entrance hall, and euch signatures shall be accepted as a record of attendance. (17) The Honorary Medical Staff shall regularly cetisulb in all cases of importance wlen ib sJiall be deemed necessary a full ■consultation of the honorary medical staff Biall be held," _>r. Lswis said they had all agreod some '18 months ago that there had been faults on IfO-h sides, and that the balance was aboub equal. Let thab pass, and now consider I what should be done in the future. I - Dr. MacGregor said ib would be impos sible to grant the demands of Dr. Collins as stated to the Board, and also have an Honorary Staff. Modical men would not X Rive their time gratuitously, and not have anything to do with the operations.
