Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Association of Railway Surgeons: Official Report of the Fifth Annual Meeting, Held at Old Point Comfort, Va., May 25 to 28, 1892 We meet once a year to discuss our cases, our. Methods of doing work and our results. In no other body of men in the world could we find so many of vast experience in accidental surgery; it is a branch of medicine by itself, a branch not sufficiently emphasized in our colleges. There can be but few rules laid down in regard to the treatment of railroad injuries, the injuries are of such variety. Only by experience can one master the subject. I have practiced surgery almost exclusively for forty odd {years and have seen a vast variety of cases, yet every year at our meetings I learn something new, hear of some rare accident, of its treatment and the result. To me they are very beneficial; to a young man they must be incalculably so. Let us attend the meetings; let us listen with rapt attention, and when we have separated and each gone to his duty treasure in our memories the new truths we have learned, and at the first opportunity use them.
