=== Notes From Elsewhere ===
Lawson Tait, born Robert Lawson Tait (May 1, 1845 – June 13, 1899) in Edinburgh, Scotland, became a pioneer in pelvic and abdominal surgery and developed new techniques and procedures. He emphasized asepsis and reduced surgical mortality significantly. He is well known for introducing salpingectomy in 1883 as the treatment for ectopic pregnancy, a procedure that has saved countless lives since then. Tait and J. Marion Sims are considered the fathers of gynecology.<br /><br />TAIT, ROBERT LAWSON, Surgeon to the Birmingham Lyingin<br />Charity, and to the Hospital for Women; 7, Waterloo<br />street, Birmingham.<br />
