When able to go home, you on two occasions asked me to come back, and let you see me in about six months’ time. So if you let me know any day that would suit you either this week or next. I would be very pleased to come up. I may say that the foot healed up beautifully, and I have been back at my work since the end of June, and have enjoyed many good long walks without any ill effects. And I feel I cannot express how grateful I am, for all the benefit I have got while under your care. Yours sincerely, James Stevenson P.S. I left the hospital on the 2nd of May."

Title A name given to the resource Letter from William Macewen to J.W.Allan Description An account of the resource This letter describes the feelings of friends on Allan's departure for China. "13 Bath Street, March 5 1872. James W. Allan. My dear Friend, I have received with much pleasure the news, both of the telegram and the letter; each in this season; announcing your safe arrival at the proximal extremity of your China journey. And I will weary till I have a telegram from Liverpool intimating your safe return. I cannot describe to you, the feeling of that walk home on Sunday night. There seemed to be a wonderful lack of words, and a silent confusion pervaded all of us, as we tottered slowly down the streets, until, last of all, the silence began to be quite unbearable, and each tried to speak: but, the broken, semi-spasmodic sentences, which were uttered, only showed, too plainly, that our minds were on a very different subject from our tongues. Sutherland, remained quietly on the sofa, for a long time, and at last gave vent to a queer expression, emanating from the depths of the trachea, then a faint smile, lit for a moment his swarthy face, but only to make the dull eyes, still more dull and dismal, as if the lower part of his face was masking the upper: and shifting himself uneasily on the sofa he said “Hell man! Jamie is really away to China.” “It’s queer isn’t it.” And after a short interval, all of us, by one desire, wanted to separate. We wanted to be alone. So Archie and I drawing closer to each other than usual & holding each others arms firmer than our want, passed slowly down to the bridge, and for a little time looked sadly into the dark flowing river, which reflected the flickering lights and with promises to meet soon, grasped hands and departed; and the sorrow in Archie’s eye I still see: calm and deep. There is a sort of dread hanging over me, which I hope will soon vanish. We may never meet again, here.

Title A name given to the resource Animation on Lung Penetration Case Description An account of the resource During his time as a police surgeon in Glasgow, William Macewen attended to several cases in the city centre. He collected any mentions of the cases from newspapers and put them together in a clippings book, which is held within the College's archive collection. On 11th October, 1873, a young man had been stabbed in the back during an altercation. He had complaints of feeling breathless, as if something was tugging on his throat. When Macewen examined the wound, he found that the probe extended all the way into the pleural lining of the lungs. At this point he came into contact with a shard of the knife that had been used to stab the young man. He successfully removed the knife segment and the patient survived. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PiRiFlSiIpQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Relation A related resource <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/468" target="_blank">Portrait of William Macewen</a> Animation Emergency Medicine Surgery Visualization William Macewen https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/9a6d718cfd98ad0c959fc9cc9ef6155b.png 7794a74dab712aade7f89395884c0064 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Animation on First Brain Tumour Removal Description An account of the resource In 1879, Barbara Watson came under the care of William Macewen, presenting with a large tumour over the left eye. Macewen tended to Miss Watson with his well-known skill and compassion, but little did he know that this case would become a world first in neurosurgery. At this time, there were no methods of imaging the body non-invasively- Rontgen did not discover X-rays until 1895. Therefore, determining the dimensions of brain lesions relied on the practitioner's observations of the patient's symptoms alone. This would have required an in-depth knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the brain. Thankfully, Macewen was well-read on the current theories on the brain at that time. Miss Watson truly could not have asked for a better surgeon to help her. Due to Miss Watson's frequent convulsions, Macewen suspected that the tumour above the left eye was in fact passing through the skull into the brain. Hence, he decided to cut into the mass and follow its trajectory. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the tumour did indeed pass through the skull and was putting pressure on the dura mater. Macewen successfully removed the tumour, under antiseptic conditions, and closed the wound. Miss Watson survived the operation and died some years later from kidney problems completely unrelated to this case. This case became the first successful removal of a brain tumour in the world. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pjSV_gsXME0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Relation A related resource <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/468" target="_blank">Portrait of William Macewen</a> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/108" target="_blank">Macewen Operating Table</a></div> Animation Barbara Watson Neurosurgery Visualization William Macewen https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/3d8453c8c94d084366f2707599e9e68e.jpg 463e1a1b64e16488f957802418919fd0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

William Macewen was a surgeon in Glasgow during the late 19th century and early 20th century. He pioneered many clinical specialities, including orthopaedics. He designed his version of the osteotome in the 1870s, and wrote an in depth account of its design in his publication, "Osteotomy with an inquiry into the aetiology and pathology of knock-knee, bow-leg, and other osseous deformities of the lower limbs." He explains: "The osteotome is an instrument of the chisel order, bevelled on both sides, so as to resemble a very slender wedge...The osteotome is used only for making simple incisions, or wedge-shaped openings without removal of bone."

H. Macdonald, according to the specifications of the surgeon, Sir William Macewen. This was a new type of instrument devised and named by Macewen and used alongside the chisel in bone operations. The manufacture of the osteotomes was described in detail in Macewen's book, "Osteotomy", published in 1880. This particular set of osteotomes was used by Macewen with great success and he performed hundreds of osteotomies with them. <div class="sketchfab-embed-wrapper"><iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/73bfa7bb5fde4f1f8342dc9bb392bf0e/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/william-macewen-osteotome-73bfa7bb5fde4f1f8342dc9bb392bf0e?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">William Macewen Osteotome</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> </div> 3D Asepsis Instrument Surgery Visualization William Macewen https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/6bd1b81aca1d0581cf3598ee3bf7d874.gif f63cf8fa299948aca0752eee2695f025 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Operating Table used by Sir William Macewen Description An account of the resource Sir William Macewen (1848-1924) carried out surgery using this operating table at the Western Infirmary in Glasgow. The table, which is wooden, is mounted on wheels and has a mechanism enabling it to be raised at one end. It was discovered by a porter in an old storeroom in the McKelvie Hospital, Oban and was presented to the College by the Board of Management for Oban and District Hospitals in 1954. Sir William Macewen was a surgeon who attempted operations which had never been done before. His work can be divided into three broad categories: surgical cure of hernia; surgical solutions for problems of the bones and joints; and surgical solutions for afflictions of the central nervous system. In 1874 Macewen became a Fellow of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and in November of the same year he was appointed to the staff of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. This appointment marked the beginning of a period of great activity and illustrious achievements. As a former student of Lister's, Macewen moved beyond Lister's precedents by seeking to create the ideal germ-free conditions in his operating theatre. Macewen's scrupulous attention to detail involved the meticulous preparation of his own hands and arms before surgery, and those of his nurses and assistants. For surgery he dressed in a gown which could be sterilised between operations, to the derision of many of his contemporaries. Sir William Macewen had his own instruments made, formed from a single piece of steel, in order to ensure that they were fully sterile. When Macewen was working at the Royal Infirmary his nurses purchased a fish kettle to be used for sterilising instruments, after the hospital authorities had refused to fund a container for the purpose. In 1892 Macewen became Regius Professor of Surgery at the University of Glasgow and transferred his surgical activities from the Royal to the Western Infirmary. In 1913 he became an Honorary Fellow of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.
