This sub-subseries consists of 11 files relating to papers and correspondence by or with Norman Dott on Colostomy or the Stoma Clinic. Dott underwent colostomy in June 1970. He quicky learned to cope with his disability and resumed his activities with undiminished zest. He felt that his personal and professional experience of coping with colostomy should be put at the service of other patients, and also that the improved appliances and methods of care he had devised should be more/widely known to the medical and nursing professions. Accordingly he devoted time and energy to drafting popers and articles, giving talks to General Practioners, nurses and students, and to the establishment in January 1972 of the Regional Stoma Clinic at the Astley Ainslie Hospital, Eoinbuigh, where he acted as Clinic Medical Offlcer.
