Hematuria battled with golf for the number one topic of conversation.
Coffee and doughnuts vied with displays of surgical instruments as number one exhibit.
The occasion was the 19th annual meeting of the Southeastern Section of the American Urologi-cal Assn. at The Jung today. * * *
ALTHOUGH THE program was filled with such scientific topics as plastic stone baskets, osteo-genic sarcoma of the kidney, and post caval ureter, doctors gave interviews on kidney diseases of children and kidney stones.
Dr. Meredith F. Campbell, of Miami, who describes himself as a "missionary," said that one out of every eight newborn has some abnormality or malformation of the urogenital tract.
Although many of these diseases are unimportant, some are so important that they may cause sarly fatality.
And plastic surgery is necessary in 50 per cent of these serious cases. PHOTO: SCIENCE and social doings occupied.Dr. Sam L. Raines, president of the Southeastern Section of the American Urological Assn., and Dr. Fred Foley, St. Paul, Minn., a speaker at the section's convention here.
