OUR PUBLIC HOSPITALS.
Gray's Inn, 30th June 1854.
Sin—The recent atrocity of cutting up a live infant during one hour and three-quarters, may open the eyes ot the public as to the system on which our Hospitals are managed. It cannot be generally known among the supporters of these institutions, that, practically, the government of them is vested in the medical men attached to them. Hence, establish- ments which have been the boast of the Metropolis come to be termed "cut- ting-up shops for the profession." "Fiat experimentum in corpore viii."
No remedy for the evil and scandal, till medical attendants are restricted to their proper work of healing the sick,—under due control and supervi- sion,—and having nothing to do with the government of the Hospitals in which they are employed.
