Piece of Jaw-Bone Removed (1907)
To say that the young men of the city, in the professions, are ever on the alert and can cope with any in their line of business was made evident a few days ago when Dr. Robert WOODSON, the popular dentist on the East Side, performed a most difficult operation. Dr. WOODSON, on last Monday, had a patient whose jaw-bone was broken in some way. He administered the necessary anesthetic, performed the operation and removed a piece of the bone. The patient is doing nicely and is on the road to recovery.
Dr. WOODSON is a product of Meharry Medical College and one of Nashville’s own sons. This is one of the many difficult cases that have passed successfully under his careful attention.
