Urology in Outline
نویسندگان
چکیده
THE author joined the Civil Medical Service in the Sudan in 1908, four years after it was inaugurated, and served in the Sudan until 1930, and until 1951 he acted in London for the Sudan Government. He divides his history into the ten years before the First World War, the next twenty-five years covering the war and recovery and increasing responsibilities, and a period of fifteen years of expansion in personnel and in the area brought under effective control. The author has a clear narrative style and his account of early days and epidemics, interwoven with personal experiences, is very readable. His account of expansion and of various training schemes is somewhat overloaded with the names of colleagues and with details, but is an interesting account and shows that laudable efforts were made for many years to introduce Sudanese personnel into the service at all levels. The last period covering the Second WVorld War and the second period of expansion is short and incomplete, and only hints at the unfortunate subservience of medical planning to political and racial considerations. The book will be of interest to many unconnected with the service.
