Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER IV
14/55

I delivered her of a girl baby; I found there were triplets, and so informed her.

At 11 A.M.
I delivered her of the second girl, after having rectified presentation, which was singular, face, hands, and feet all presented; I placed in proper position and practised 'version.' This child was 'still-born,' and after considerable effort by artificial respiration it breathed and came around 'all right.' The third girl was born at 11.40 A.M.

This was the smallest one of the four.

In attempting to take away the placenta, to my astonishment I found the feet of another child.

At 1 P.M.this one was born; the head of this child got firmly impacted at the lower strait, and it was with a great deal of difficulty and much patient effort that it was finally disengaged; it was blocked by a mass of placenta and cords.
