Excerpt from The Canadian Journal of Medicine and Surgery, 1916, Vol. 40
At the New York Policlinic very wonderful work has been (lone for the large classes of physicians who turn their steps thither for post-graduate instruction in surgery. Prof. Wyeth and Dr. Bodine have each operated before the moving picture camera so as to show the whole technique of their special operations, and now the work is committed forever to the screen, where anyone may by simply turning a handle, project a picture of any part of the event, whether it be to learn what instruments are employed, on the neatly set instrument table, or in what order the incisions, ligations, etc., are made. It is very marvelous to see the tiny vessels spurting, and quickly tied off. Only the actual field, occupied by the surgeon's hands, is shown. Nothing is passed over or lost. Every step is revealed. When Dr. Wyeth does Ins famous bone transplantation, using bis electric burr to remove a useful piece, from the tibia, ordinarily, to graft on a spine in Pott's disease, or again to fill in the void in an ununited fracture, one can really sec the "chips" fly, as he calls them, meaning the fragments of bone dust. When Dr. Bodine does a prostatectomy or removes a ureteral calculus, one can discern every bend of the wrist, and see even the jagged points of the stone.
