previously removed my gallbladder and repaired hernia Now at 70 years of age have block ed artery in one leg The surgeon has advised bypass operation to circumvent the obstruction and ease the pain He enjoys an excellent local reputation and the other opera tions have gone well But understand this is very major type of surgery and my wife wants me to obtain another opi nion Would this be wise move This letter brings up pertinent question In effect it asks whether surgeons in small city should do supersurgery Or should these cases be channelled to university teaching hospital where such procedures are done on regular basis Its difficult question to answer But some specific guidelines might help Just where major surgery ends and supersurgery begins is tough to pinpoint in all cases Certainly transplanting heart or kidney is in the supersurgery category The bypass operation in which graft shunts blood around an obstruction may not be as dramatic But its still very complex surgery and can be an extremely tedious undertaking for doctors who are tackling it only occasional ly ANADIANS PROTECTED Canadians are more protected from supernsurgery than Americans It would be impossible for us to have cardiac surgery in small community hospital The government refuses to purchase equipment for hospital that does not have proper staff and backup facilities In the US any hospital can carry out these procedures if they can afford the expensive setup and have doctors on staff willing to undertake the surgery Thats why statistics show some small hospitals in that country with mortality rates for heart surgery that are three to 10 times those of well qualified university centres But certain operations like bypassing clogged artery can be performed with less equipment This exposes some anadians to potentially dangerous trap Odd as it may seem todays better trained surgeons in Ann Landers Arrangement is upsetting Dear Ann Landers sons homeroom teacher seats the students according to grades they receive on various tests wonder what psychological effect this seating might have on the students who are constantly placed in the back of the room It seems to me that if the teacher reall wanted to help the kids who are not stars she would seat them up front where they can be observed and made to feel involved spoke to the teacher about her seating arrangement alsospokc to the principal They both listened politely but nothing has changed Now may have your opinion Con cerned Dear Concerned Seating children up front if they are hard of hearing or have poor eyesight makes great deal of sense Some teachers find it convenient to seat students ac cording to alphabetial order and this too is un derstandable But special seating based on academic ability should not be tolerated To segregate the lowgrade scorers is to create ghetto in the classroom as well as an elite Both are bad Usually an ignorant insensitive teacher can be over ridden by an enlightened pmcipal When both are ignorant and insensitive you have real problem Try the superinten dent of schools Dear Ann Landers You recently printed Sunday Mes sage which began To make it possible for everyone to attend church we are going to make special arrangements Cots Will be placed in the sanctuary for those who say Sunday is the only day can sleep late We will provide steel helmets for those who say The roof will cave in if ever show up in church Scoreboards will be placed in the pew racks for those who enjoy listing the hypocrites present You asked if anyone in your reading audience could identify the source of that Message since it came to you author unknown am happy to give you the information requested The Message first appeared in the North End Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Portland Ore in 1975 In December of 1976 printed it in the Riverside County Bar Associations Bar Bulletin which edited for 20 years wrote column in the bulletin called Gusts By Gus legal secretary here gave the Message to me before she retired told her if it was ever published would give full credit to that Lutheran Church in Portland Thank you for helping me keep my word Ann WB iustaveson Riverside alif Dear ius Thank you for letting me know dozen others wrote crediting that Portland church Your letter reached me first Dear Ann am it years old and have always been big for my age am the tallest person in my classincluding the boys When go to the movies and put down money for childs ticket always get hassled hate the em barrassment even though usually win What can do to stop this No Liar Dear NI Carry copy of your birth certificate with you and show it to the cashier And remember to stand tall honey One day your age will catch with our hei and youll beinuch more comfortable gh engagements Mr and Mrs Andy Hendrlks of Barrie are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter June Louise to Michael John Price son oer and Mrs Richard Price of ivy The wedding will take place May 27 at St Marys Catholic Church Bar rie community raise some problems that were not present in past yearsThe older generation of surgeons were never ex posed to vascular techniques Consequently it never entered their minds to attempt them Any recent graduates have spent time working with vascular surgeons during their training Some of these doc tors performed reasonable number of such operations prior to starting practice When they left the university hospital they had every hope of continuing to do so One major problem confronts them Vascular procedures are not as common as herniasgallbladdersand hemorrhoid qierations So in the average Canadién community young doctors end up doing these more frequent procedures These surgeons may be very capable technicians and develop large referring practice Then somewhere along the line they once again get involved with vascular work sudden emergency may arise and theres no time to refer the patient to another hospital Or they may gradually slip back into this work as they encounter problems But being nowandthen vascular surgeon can be potentially dangerous game Neither the surgeon nor the operating room scrub nurses ever get into high gear Surgeons like plumbers must do the same thing over and over to devote and maintain skills What shoulirthe patient do Its in this and so many other situations that the family doctor is worth his weight in gold He will only receive few dollars for his advice But in steering you away from hazardous situation he may save your life GOOD DOCTOR good family physician will have several uestions in mind when making decision He will ask whe er the doc tor limits his work to this type of surgery And if so is be performing several cases week Has he had good train ing Would he refer member of his own family to this surgeon think most family doctors share my view They want good results for their patients The best guarantee is to refer them to fulltime vascular surgeon Its the route doctors would follow with their own families
