9 p.m. to Midnight
The iron grills on the "drunk tank" act in the hospital.
to safeguard the inmate and other .patients
olics are now taken directly to
the Ontario Hospital for treat -
me nt."
He added:,"In• our new'build-
ing ,you will not see anything
like this. For technical rea-
sons it 'h'as been found that
such people must have immedi-
«te'p_'ych aaric care'land drugs."
The disturbed 'patient would
receive t(he._.s,ai ie treatment -in
the "tank" as if he -'had .been
aclrn tted-_any other depart-
men.t-ofthosipital.
."Por ,o"bvious reasons we just
Could not put -'a p•a ti en.t of this
type in 'with other patients,"
Mr. Walzak. "After (a11 it
is for his own good."
,While he is in the roam the.
+patient is under maximum'
s'uperv'ision as many have been
known to 'atternpt suicide while
in su'c'h a state. All articles
are removed Lam :their pockets
and if they are wearing belts
or anything eLse with which
they could do themselves_i.n.-
jury, these are taken away.
Besides the alcoholics' and
the mentally disturbed, the
rooms are used by patients who
are brought in under police ar-
rest, to 'prevent escape.
• In these cases ,the 1pol:ce of-
ficers stay in t11e room 'with the
patients iw-h le ,i'he . do t9rs,;,axe
administering treatment.
"We find we ha've..ithe' most
trouble with the 'peo'ple ^witch
a drink problem-," said (Mr. Wal-
zak. "Cur real regret is. that
our nurses have to be subject-
ed to looking after this'type of
patient." •
He added: "Fortunately we
have a good police force here'
and they ,will always corse in
and lend a hand if there is any
trouble. The sooner these
rooms go the -better os 'far as
we are concerned, he added.
