[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.1490]

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "In this auditorium, the guests of Oklahoma City Obstetrical and Gynecological society saw Dr. Aldridge perform a total abdominal hysterectomy(removal of the uterus). A highly respected surgeon, Dr. Aldridge demonstrated special techniques used in New York City's Woman's Hospital, where he's chief surgeon. But only the seeing eye of television allowed such a large group of medical men and women watch him work. Perhaps one or two of them could have crowded around the operating table. No more. Dr. Aldridge had never worked before a television camera before. But, experienced in operation before movie cameras, he kept the operating areas in clear view....Despite a few minor irritations, all doctors agreed the venture was a complete success. For Oklahoma - another first."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Bob Hayward, WKY-TV studio supervisor, perched himself atop a step-ladder to train his television camera on the operation. A special tripod was built, lifting the camera almost to the ceiling. One month before the January 21 televised surgery, WKY-TV crews practiced on two similar operations in University hospital. "we didn't have our camera high enough in the practice session," said Jack Lovell, WKY chief engineer. The camera peeked down over the head of the anestheist seated at the patient's head. Dr. Aldridge (wearing glasses) stands immediately behind the anestheist. Often during the ioeration, the assistant at Aldridge's elbow turned to view the surgey on a television receiver behind him (not shown in picture). He found the picture a better view than the one before him, although he was right in front of it."
