The operation was per-i formed with a set of borrowed instru-i ments between two mirrors set up atj right angles. Veteran surgeons at thej hospital urged Bailey to give up thej notion, and when he persisted theyi remained within convenient calling distance dis-tance in case the patient made a failure fail-ure of the job. After applying a local lo-cal anesthetic the interne performed the operation with the flow of only a; few drops of blood.
