But despite these primitive conditions, says Hertzler, post-operative infections were not more frequent than in modern hospitals. The secret of successful operations, says Hertzler, is not a fancy operating room but thorough knowledge of anatomy and speed. In his own clinic, built with many a headache, he dispensed with masks. According to "Pop," they only make the operating room look like a harem, give esthetic delight to the modern...
