Excerpt from Fibroid Tumors of the Uterus
Death by hemorrhage is very rare. I have knowl edge of only three instances. Many women are blanched, and anemic, and feeble, but they live, and most of them are relieved by curetting, or at times by electrolysis d [a Apostoli, or by the removal of a pedunculated fibroid from the interior of the uterus, or by enucleating a half-extruded one.
The feeling of weight and inconvenience caused by these tumors is sufficient in some cases to call for their removal, and the sufferer has a right to demand operation, even if life is not threatened, for surgery is not only to save life, but to contribute to its comfort; and there is no class of cases in which the decision of the patient has more weight than in these cases of fibroid tumors. I do not want to carry this thing any longer; it annoys me. I can not stoop to button my boots, andi want it re moved, said a woman to me. I had put her off several months, and she had abundant time to think the matter over. I thought she had a right to decide the question of operation. I removed the tumor, and she got well.
