MASTERTON HOSPITAL (To the Editor.) Sir—Are we in Wairarapa to be subjected to dictatorship in our Public Hospital in Masterton? The writer knows of a lady who was admitted to the hospital and who, under special orders from her medical adviser that she was to be put into a cubicle in No. 6 Ward, was put into a cubicle for some weeks, but due to an overexertion of authority .. . she was removed from the cubicle to the Main Ward. Because of this the lady _ in question had to leave the hospital. Now the question is: Are we expected to tolerate this sort of thing?— Yours, etc., S. T. POTANGAROA. Masterton, December 14. The Managing-Secretary of the Wairarapa Hospital Board, Mr N. Lee, to whom the above letter was referred, said the Medical Superintendent and Matron stated there was no reason'for the patient concerned to be accommodated in a cubicle and the patient left the hospital of her own accord and against the advice of the medical officers.
