| Description | Hard bound printed and manuscript register noting the attendance of the clinical teaching physicians and surgeons at the Mater Misericordiae Hospital under the following headings: Date [consisting of day of the week, date, month, and year]; Names of Physicians and Surgeons on Duty; Hour of Arrival; Hour of Departure; and Remarks. Each staff member signed their name along with their time of arrival and any other remarks. Printed title on front cover reads ‘Mater Misericordiae Hospital Clinical Teachers Attendance Book’. Clinical teaching staff listed includes Arthur Chance, Christopher Nixon, John Lentaigne, Joseph M Redmond, Charles Coppinger, John Murphy, P [J] Hayes, Michael A Boyd; Martin Dempsey, and Alexander Blayney. Time off from teaching duties are noted throughout the calendar year including ‘Easter Recess’, ‘Summer Vacation’, Christmas holidays, bank holidays, holy days, and other notable events which are also marked in the register, such as a national day of mourning for Queen Victoria’s death on 22 January 1901.
The ‘Remarks’ column contains a variety of notes and comments between staff members. Topics include whether certain staff missed teaching attendance and the reasons why; whether clinical teaching was conducted or not; and questioning by staff of the Hospital clocks’ timekeeping versus the City clock. Also includes rough hand clinical drawings and sketches by staff throughout the register. There is also evidence of pages having been removed throughout.
