Summary
Description 1848 lam aua hypertrophy.jpg |
English:
"Lu-shi, aged 42, first presented herself at the hospital, April 17; and when we were about to operate on her, after a few weeks' preparatory treatment, her impatient, opium-smoking husband suddenly summoned her home. Her husband died, and the woman returned. Dec. 24, 1849, the left breast, measuring 2 feet, 2 1/2 inches in circumference, and weighing 4 1/2 catties (about 6 pounds), was removed in three and a half minutes. In one month after, the right breast, measuring 2 feet, and weighing 5 1/2 pounds was removed in three minutes."
