THE PUBLIC HOSPITAL
Sir,—A period in the hospital may give a patient a fresh hold on life and cure his trouble. Among main features the food department in all its branches seems perfect, and the same may be said of the nursing. The nurses are powerful, highly skilled, sympathetic, and more than beautiful. But shortage in the war years has so greatly speeded their work that they are quite in the zone of clanger of over-strain, and there appears little relief. Convalescent patients give Valuable help and the sisters take a share in the hard work; but that seems all. The odious screen lugging is still prevalent and the exact designing of rods and curtains is long overdue. Main rods along the wards with laterals between the beds, carrying wooden rods with curtains, seem feasible and deserving of best attention of the board.—-Yours, etc., EX-PATIENT. June 17. 1946.
