Brief Description

These patient record books record eye/ear/nose/throat case consultations by Dr. Edward Gault at the Royal Victorain Eye and Ear Hospital. The case entries were recorded chronologically according to R.V.E.E.H.'s public sessions of patient consultation. However, the resluts of repeat consultations with patients were often recorded under their original page entry, even if the consultations were years apart. Each original consultation entry was given a separate page for descriptions of symptoms, medical history, diagnosis and prescription details. Eye charts and diagrams are sometimes included with consultation entries. These two volumes were part of a larger group of patient record books, as the second volume has on its spine, "Book IV".

Two ink-blotters advertising Ovaltine and Glyco-Heron (Smith) respectively, as well as two sets of directions for Burroughs Hypodermic needles were removed from registration numbers 3487 to 3489. These items have been linked to this accession for convenience.

Volume 2: 21/11/1898 - c.1916 (last date of initial consultation: 3/1/1899)

These volumes were most likely compiled by Dr. Edward Gault (senior) who worked at the R.V.E.E.H. but also had a private practice on Collins Street. After 1899, details of case consultaitons were divided up into the following categories: eye cases; ear, nose and throat cases.

Brief Description

Three notebooks compiled by Sir R. Euan MacLean during his undergraduate lectures and clinical sessions at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in 1936-7 as well as a series of lectures by Professor Sutherland in 1942. The volumes comprise:

(1) "Anaesthetics"; compiled at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in 1936 and holds notes on a series of lectures given by a Dr. Green. The last entry is dated 28/1/1942 and was probably added later to his notes on anaesthetics. Loose notes enclosed in volume, as well as a graph and chart on a patient, dated 29/1/42.

Sir R. Euan MacLean graduated with his M.M. and B.S. from the University of Melbourne in 1938.

The last entry in the black notebook is "Finis" after the list of students for 1904. Dr. James Neild was more generally known as a music and drama critic.
