GODERICH - Board members at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital have discovered a "very serious problem which could prove crucial in the event of a power outage. The board learned from Dr. Michael Conlon and Dr. Ken Lambert that there is no auxiliary power available in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in case of.a hydro interruption. The doctors noted that this dangerous inadequacy was only pointed out"reeently by a new doctor, Jim Rourke. In the event of a hydro stoppage, a potentially critical situation would develop in the -ICU. If, a patient is on a monitoring machine, for instance, And the heart fails, "You wouldn't even be able to zap the patient," Dr. Larnbert told the board. There is enough auxiliary power available in an emergency to ably handle the requirements of the ICU, but no one seems to know why the unit was never hooked into it. However, the building ,comrnittee will investigate the matter immediately and either correct tihe situation or recommend that the ICU be relocated. Hospital Adm inistr- stor; Elmer Taylor said that to his knowledge the ICU is the only area of the hospital not serviced with backup power. On a calmer note, the hoard was reminded that-- power hatpower failures are rare and are usually very short, meaning only very minimual danger Established 1876 t., McKILLOP' MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY HEAD OFFICE: 10 MAIN ST., SEAFORTH, ONT, Mrs. Margaret Sharp.
