May, 1930] SOUND FlLMS FOR SURGICAL INSTRUCTION 519 amphitheater or the laboratory, the teacher, in his amphitheater, or in his laboratory, appears on the film before the doctor at a society meeting, a hospital staff conference, or, it may be, in the doctor's own library. Indeed, a look into the future cannot fail to excite inspiration over the inherent possibilities of this new relationship of science, art, and electricity in the field of medical education. DISCUSSION MR. SAMUELS : A short time ago I noticed an interesting human reaction which might interest Dr. Truesdale. We recently took pictures in the operating room of a double congenital dislocation of the hip, and during the operation a large incision was necessary. The camera man took all the pictures in the course of six or eight hours almost continuously and felt no effects. However, when the film was shown on the screen in the theater he paled, became ill, and was forced to retire. Contradictory as it may seem, the screen image of the operation had a greater physical effect upon the observer than the operation itself.
