It is a remarkably durable, strong and versatile material, which in its various forms has been made into objects ranging from African shields and drums to European saddles and kinky underwear. From as early as 2700 BC until fairly recently leather was also in the forefront of information technology with its use (as skins, vellum and parchment), for writing on, and its important role in bookbinding.

The skins usually used are derived from cattle, goats, pigs and sheep as byproducts of the meat industry, though theoretically any skin can be used from ostrich to sharkskin or snakeskin.

A year later a section dealing with the management of clinical situations was sent to 198 Avon consultants, to determine how they would ideally expect a GP to respond to these situations. The majority of both the GPs and consultants held a common viewpoint, but significant differences were noted between the consultants and GPs in six out of the ten situations. Consultants with more than six months' GP experience had fewer significantly different views than their colleagues with little or no GP experience. GPs and specialists under the age of 45 years also had fewer significant differences in management than older GPs and specialists. The differences seem to reflect the clinical focus and interests of each professional group. We believe vocational training is a contributory factor to the differences and support the General Medical Council's proposal of a broader post registration training for all doctors.</p>","PeriodicalId":75615,"journal":{"name":"Bristol medico-chirurgical journal (1963)","volume":"104 3","pages":"75-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5113418/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13752816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Complications of removal of the foreign body once diagnosed were few, and have been absent since the Storz rod lens system was introduced in 1982. Eleven patients experienced delay of at least 7 days between the beginning of the symptoms and diagnosis, of whom 3 subsequently required open thoracotomy. Six of these had sought medical advice during this period, of whom 4 had a positive history of choking or inhalation. Inhaled foreign bodies remain a source of diagnostic difficulty, although this should be improved by greater attention to history and appropriate investigation.
