Major Tulloh stated, that in consequence of an anonymous attack having been made in the Guiana Chronicle, upon the Regimental Surgeon, accusing him of a deviation from the established line of conduct, which in that capacity, he is bound to follow. He had convened this Meeting, in order to decide upon the propriety or impropriety of exacting certificate to the sick.
The Meeting was of opinion, that the accusation against Surgeon Wylie, that he was open to bribery on such occasion, is a malicious attempt to injure his character; and, that in the steps he had adopted to bring this matter to an issue, and have his duty clearly defined, nothing dishonourable can be attached to his conduct, as in every case where a fee has been exacted by him for certificate, he left it optional with the applicant, to receive it while he was off duty, or to appear on the parade-ground, and be there examined; and only from those who preferred the former method, has he received fees, which as a private practitioner, he conceives himself entitled to demand for an examination of an individual.
The Major stated, that the Surgeon was perfectly willing, however, to attend to the applications of the sick, even when he was not on parade, provided some particular period was appointed for their examination, without fee. And the sense of the Meeting being taken, it was agreed, that the Surgeon or his Assistant, should devote three hours of the day, each parade, say from 11 o'clock, A.M. to 2, P. M. for the purpose of examining the sick, and countersigning certificates granted by other medical practitioners.
If any individual of the Militia, prefers appearing on the parade ground to be examined on parade day, the Surgeon or his assistant, will examine him there, and report his case to the Commanding Officer of the Company to which he belongs. The Surgeon and his Assistant are not bound to attend to any application made at others, than the foregoing stipulated periods.
JOHN CROAL, 1st Lieut. R. C. Sec.
