Louise Osborne Recovering from Appendicitis, Oct. 15, 1924

Miss Louise Osborne Undergoes Operation

Miss Louise Osborne, dean of women, has taken to Long’s Hospital in Greensboro on Wednesday the 8th, to undergo an operation for appendicitis. The latest reports (Sunday night) say that Miss Osborne is recovering as rapidly as possible, considering the seriousness of the case.

It was known from the first that Miss Osborne was threatened with appendicitis, but in the hope that an immediate operation would not be necessary, the doctors advised a delay in operation in order that she might gain strength for an operation later. On Monday, the 5th, recovery seemed certain, and she herself was very optimistic concerning her recovery without an operation. On Tuesday night, however, her condition became so serious that on Wednesday an immediate operation was strongly advised. She was rushed to Long’s Hospital in Greensboro, and operated upon early Wednesday morning.

From the latest reports concerning her condition, (Sunday night), it is learned that she is gaining in strength and that she is slowly coming out of danger.
