to cases of special interest shall bring the particulars of such cases to the knowledge of the Colonial Surgeon and to afford him the opportunity of inspecting the same.
3 All cases of Surgical Operations performed or proposed to be performed by the Superintendent shall be brought by him to the knowledge of the Colonial Surgeon at the earliest convenient moment.
4 In consultation cases the Superintendent shall first call in the Colonial Surgeon who is the only proper consulting Officer of the Hospital, and shall therefore in every instance communicate with him.
The Superintendent shall report daily to the Colonial Surgeon on the occasion of his morning visit to the Hospital any incident of interest or importance connected with the sick or the attendants or the general administration of the Hospital that have transpired during the previous twenty-four hours so that the Colonial Surgeon may be fully cognisant of all that passes from day to day and be able to report any necessity arising to Government without delay.
I quote the subsequent correspondence to speak for itself. It comes to this that His Excellency calls upon me to withdraw and drop the charges I have made against my subordinate and that His Excellency substantially declines to sanction my proposed rules.
As to my charges against D W Harry I cannot withdraw or modify complaints which are well grounded, and I have made it abundantly clear that I desire to make use of these complaints no further, this being a reason for the introduction of the proposed Rules which I regard under existing circumstances as essential to the well-being of the Hospital and which are in no way calculated to injure or to degrade Harry as he suggests.
I deeply regret to be obliged to add that during the progress of this correspondence and since its conclusion, D Wharry finding himself supported by His Excellency has assumed in every way an increasingly insubordinate and defiant attitude towards me. His Excellency has quite recently adopted the system of consulting D Wharry upon medical questions which are within my province, has deferred to his opinion, and has called on me to forward to him Rules framed by me for his guidance.
