After writing a simple equation on the board the teacher asked if anyone could solve the problem.
Little Johnny walked up to the board, erased it and said, “Problem Solved.”
British Orthopaedic SocietyIn 1894, the British Orthopaedic Society held its first general meeting at the Holborn Restaurant, London. Of the 31 members, 13 were local to London. Its formation was led by a group of seven surgeons including Sir Robert Jones who had met informally on 3 Aug 1894 and chose its name and chairman. It ceased to exist in 1900, perhaps because the members, being mostly general surgeons practicing only some orthopaedics, had too limited interest in the specialty. In 1918, Sir Robert Jones and several others surgeons again founded a professional organisation, the current British Orthopaedic Association. The American Orthopaedic Association was the first nationally affiliated group of orthopaedic surgeons (1887)*«[Image: Sir Robert Jones.] |
