Commission abundantly proves this: men, when the most elementary surgical treatment would have restored to life, have through the want of it been allowed to die. "And it is little short of murder," says Dr. Lowry.
On the other hand, especially by Ku Fai-shaw, the Chairman of the Hospital Committee, it is stated that the introduction of a Chinese doctor trained in Western methods, even if he had no power of practically treating in-patients, would put an end to Chinese subscriptions and "he adds that if a European controller were put into the hospital, nobody would have to become an 'out-door' doctor and very few subscriptions would be given!"
The other Chinese witnesses do not go quite so far as Ku Fai-shaw. Dr. Wong was a Tung Wah Hospital trained doctor that the Chinese doctor might be introduced gradually as an experiment. Mr. Ho Amei suggests that were such a doctor introduced it would simply give correct death returns. Dr. Ho Amei gives the strongest points in the arguments on the Chinese side at the top of p. 36– "The Hospital is a purely Chinese one, when founded, it was understood that everything in the hospital should be Chinese, the object was only to see that the cleanliness of the Institutions: it has satisfied Chinese public opinion for 25 years.
The Governor has now, in accordance with the reports of Commissioners, decided that some interference is essential & he has already appointed Dr. Chung as Chinese Doctor at the Hospital (2). Mr. Thomson, Superintendent of the Alexandra Memorial Hospital, has been specially appointed to supervise the sanitary arrangements of the Tung Wah.
I doubt if these two appointments were wise; it is quite clear from the description of the Governor's interview with the Directors that they were opposed to it. It now remains to be seen whether the Hospital will continue to go on as before, and whether subscriptions will be withheld.
Dr. Lowson is of opinion that...
