Book excerpt: Excerpt from A d104-Book of Practical Obstetrics: Comprising Pregnancy, Labor, and the Puerpal State, and Obstetric Surgery The last decade has witnessed not alone progress in the practice of obstetrics, but also change in methods of instruction. The clinical teacher is no longer satisfied with grounding his students in the theory of the art, but he aims, as far as his opportunities will allow, to give his classes that practical instruction which alone enables them to follow understandingly the normal course of pregnancy and of labor, as also to recognize and to cope with the emergencies. The teaching of obstetrics, therefore, has very properly become more practical and less theoretical. This is the inevitable outcome of that higher medical education which aims at thorough grounding in every science before the student is deemed competent to undertake practice. Above all are such methods requisite in case of the science we are dealing with, since familiarity with the phenomena of pregnancy, and of labor, and of the puerperal state, as witnessed in the living and at the bedside, best fits the student for the great responsibilities of his chosen calling. Rarely, nowadays, is the student - filled with theory, and this alone - licensed to care for woman in labor. Practice on the manikin and study in the lying-in room have taught him that, however sound theory be, it cannot be made to uniformly fit the individual case, but that the course of action must alter with the concurrent circumstances. Before undertaking the study of obstetrics, the student should be well grounded in anatomy, physiology, embryology, and pathology, and therefore there is no longer call for the textbook of the present being filled with abstract of knowledge which can, to better advantage, be secured in works dealing specifically with such subjects.
