I put myself in the last category. When I first went to work at Southmead Hospital some twelve years ago I was no more or less interested in monsters and congenital malformations than in a great many other things. I soon found however, that this problem was indeed thrust upon me. Monsters and malformations came from all directions?so I began to collect them. Some people collect stamps, some people collect shrubs; I began to collect monsters. The collection rapidly grew in size and now contains over a thousand malformations of all kinds. Southmead Hospital is an interesting place for a pathologist to work in. It not only houses one of the largest maternity hospitals in the country but has, in the same grounds, a general hospital of equal size. The work of the latter tends to give one a sense of proportion and keep one's feet on the ground while the maternity department provides some very valuable material of a specialised nature, including most of the Malformations in the collection. Others have come from other hospitals in the group and elsewhere while not a few have come from cases referred by family doctors, having been born at home.","PeriodicalId":86891,"journal":{"name":"The Medical journal of the South-West","volume":"86 ","pages":"53 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1001/jama.1944.02850500035012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50704831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
