Stand —Continued from Page 1 in respect to operating to ly increased since it has owned, piques.. The board, therefore, w We have .now added a laboratory reluctantly forced to postpone the and have a laboratory technician, introduction of major surgery This addition does not bring a into the hospital until the require-, corresponding increase in rove- nfents which the board has set had been met. "As you can readily guess, nurses with operating room tech- nique sufficient for major .sur- gery are not easy to come by. We have advertised and inquired extensively and up to date have procured the services for a lim- ited. period of a qualified operat- ing nurse. "I should say that the decision of the board was graciously ac- cepted by the Medical Academy and I, will read their reply: "In any event, our newly ac- quired operating nurse has un- dertaken to set up the require- ments for the operating, room to do more extensive surgery and an order has been placed for ap- proximately $1,400,00 worth of in- struments, This is not complete but will be sufficient for simple appendectomies, hernias and similar surgery. In addition we expect the hospital will require ;to purchase an additional auto- clave at a price of $3,500,00 Two Nurses Required "In order to .carry on proper care of patients, the board be- lieves that two operating nurses will be required because one can- cif- not be on 24-hour duty and oper- as atfons do not always follow union ,hours. There is also the problem of post-operative care, "To be lair I should tell you that operating room nurses have a salary of about $270,00 per month, and operating room sup- plies are expensive so that it is unlikely in the opinion • of the committee that the surgical ex- tension will be self-sustaining, It is true that you cannot always Nit a price tag on hospital serv- ices but as you are the people of the community which in the long run has 'to foot the bill, I think you should be appraised of the facts. "It will engage the best minds in your community to find the means of increasing our services, and our accommodation and meeting the bill." nuebut is of utmost importance in dealing with certain diseases, "I cannot list the various ad- ditional equipment which has been purchased upon the advice of the medical academy of South Huron but the 1956 budget alotted for this purpose is typical, amounting to $3,000. . Commend Medical Profession "I must commend the medical profession generally for their co- operation with the board since the period commencing February 1953. Without this ,no hospital could function properly and I be- lieve that the hospital on the other Band has been operated in a way acceptable to them. When the hospital was opened the medi- cal Academy submitted to the Board that major surgery should not be attempted in the hospital for .at least a trial period. In this the Board acquiesed. "However, as stated, the Board's policy has been one of orderly steady growth. Our feel- ing being that the hospital in all it undertakes should provide the best in the service it undertakes before advancing into new fields. This policy has not changed in four years. Surgical Services Requested "Last fall. the Board received a letter dated from the academy which requested extended surgi- cal services. Subsequently, your committee had a meeting with Dr, Lewis and Dr. Read at which time the request was amplified. Dr, Lewis advised that he was prepared to do major Surgery and stated that with the present nursing staff he was prepared to start at once. He further stated that with the addition of some of his own. instruments, an expendi- ture of less than .$100.09 would equip the surgery for this pur- pose. After consideration, the board found itself unable to take this optimistic viewpoint and the position of the board was set out first in a letter to the academy and secondly in an. open letter to the public published in •The Times -Advocate. I will not repeat at length what most of you must have already read. "In our opinion the medical profession and the board were working toward the same end. The su.ggastion of the letter to the board as amplified by Dr. Lewis was that we start into surgery and find out by experi- ence how it would work. The Board's Responsibilities "The board, on the other hand, was mindful of its responsibility both legal and moral, to the pa- tient and was not prepared to ex- periment with his or her life by subjecting the patient to inex- perienced and unqualified nurses FOOD MARKETS Stokely's CANNED Fpop SALE • MARCH 25, 29, 31:1 STOKELY'S STOKELY'S Honey Pod'Peas FANCY.

Number of patient dleys increased front 7,336 in 19 to 9,122. 13perations perform totalled 444;' compared to 325 la year, but births were down fro. 312 to 299. In answer to questions as to why there were nurses in town working in other hospitals, Miss Claypole said. "I find their appli- cation would not be, suitable to work in with our staff." She in- dicated the hours they could work were not satisfactory. • Staff at the hospital averaged from 44 to 46 during 1956 and wages totalled $66,343.12, which was 62.9 percent of the total cost of operations. The hospital has seven registered nurses, includ- ing the superintendent and her assistant, five of whom are part- time. The hospital has trained 22 nurses assistants since it began operation and 18 are still on staff. The hospital has received over $1,000 worth of equipment for the nursery following the training in premature birth care received by Mrs. L. Learn, the assistant superintendent, in Toronto last summer. Miss Claypole said more equipment will be received if the formula room at the hos- pital is enlarged. The superintendent reported that the hospital has been accept- ed as a public general hospital by the provincial government following its three-year trial period. It has, also been accepted as a member of the.Ontario Hos- pital Association. She expressed appreciation to the board, the medical staff and the nursing staff, and the auxili- ary for their co-operation. She also thanked Exeter Kinettes for providing treats to patients twice a week, Lauds Superintendent Message From Greenway Mr. and Mrs: Harold Dettloff of Detroit spent the weekend with their aunt, Mrs. Albert Pol- lock.
