Paul Meehan, Toronto, a secretary
fieldman for the Ontario Medical Ser
vices Federation, said it was time that
citizens became more interested in
how our hospitals are operated.
“If the most of us ran our busi
nesses the way hospitals are administ
ered, why, we would go bankrupt/’ he
stated. He traced the causes of poor
administration to the lack of public
interest, and to the abuse of hospitals
by doctors, nurses, domestic help and
the patients.
Mr. Meehan said the hospitals are
operated on a poor administrative
basis, and with a deplorable "lack of
adequate studies on the cost account
ing.
In your last loving tribute, you will want a service
of quiet dignity to remain fovever with you as a cher
ished memory. This quality is our primary concern.
