Surgical clinics of modern Berlin. (Impressions from a business trip abroad in the fall of 1925)

Abstract

If the doctors of the capitals and large provincial centers have the opportunity, at least from the periodical foreign literature they receive, to get acquainted with the achievements of surgery in Germany and other countries, then the workers of the deep Russian province are deprived of this opportunity either. In most cases, they are forced to be content with only brief abstracts published in the domestic periodicals. This explains the aspirations and interest with which I went to Germany at the first opportunity.
