Fatal surgical error provokes strong medical outrage
A Cleveland case reports a stomach surgery for a supposed cancer on February 22, 1883 that found no cancer. The patient died hours later. Doctors blamed the mistake on a misdiagnosis and poor judgment, while promotional remedies are touted elsewhere in the text. The report notes other society items including Astor and Vanderbilt gifts, Masons, a New York cathedral fund, and various obituaries.
