The other doctors had not been in a case with him in a year. They watched the work closely and say they saw nothing unnecessary done nor anything done improperly. The operation was apparently a skillful and successful one.
During the opertion one of the physicians who witnessed the operation had an altercation with Dr. Dabney on account of the rough way in which he treated the patient it is said and threatened to leave. They were begged by the nurse however to remain until the end for Mr. Schaad's sake. Dr. Dabney is said to have asked them to remain also. This they finally consented to do and from this on it is said Dr. Dabney was more gentle in his treatment of his patient.
After the operation was completed, Mr. Schaad was removed to one of the adjoining rooms and put to bed. He remained there during the next two days and in this room he died.
