Your Hospital Reports
BEING THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF ARTICLES DESIGNED TO
INFORM THE PUBLIC OF THE OPERATION OF SCOTT
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
This is the first in a series of three articles to
be published concerning Scott Memorial Hospital,
which will, we believe, explain to the public every
phase of the hospital affairs. The problems of
hospital management are many, varied. and com-
plex; those of our local institution are no excep-
tion. Our wish in presenting these articles isto
give to you, the citizen shareholders, a complete
picture of the hospital life in your community.
We have consulted leading authorities on the
subject in the Province, as to the desirability of
makingareportt to the peopleonP
ub 'e institu-
tions
titu-
tions of this kind. They were definitely in favor
of doing so. One of the chief problems to con-
front us here is the entire lack of public relations
and the consequent undercurrent in the commun-
ity of rumour and counter -rumours, unfounded
criticisms and general ill -will toward our hospital,
entirely due to a lack of information to which
the public has an undeniable right of access. We
believe, therefore, in taking the citizen into our
confidence, and striving for better Hospitaliza-
tion, for we, believe that the more light we shed
on the problem„ the greater will be the confidence
created.
Regarding the writer of these articles: On
Tuesday, December 7, 1948. he was elected Chair-
man of the Board, having served as Vice -Chair-
man and Chairman of the House Committee for
the past two years. Henry Ford once said, "You
can't build a reputation on what you are going
to do, but what you have demonstrated you have
done." The writer hopes that the reputation re-
sponsible for his election to the office of Chair-
man will not suffer as he undertakes the increas-
ed responsibilities of his new position.
Each and every one of You will agree that we
need the Hospital in our midst. The reason for
Hospitals and Nurses is the care and healing of
the sick. The patient is the reason for the Hos-
pital, and the public is the clientele. But it is a
fact that despite the never -ceasing services to the
sick and injured, many citizens simply,take the
institution for granted, as more or less of a civic
and governmental responsibility,• when as a mat-
ter of fact every citizen is a shareholder and
should have a knowledge of and interest in its
daily life. Hospital achievements or difficulties
should be everyone's concern. An informed citi-
zen will become a hospital friend, getting behind
the hospitalization project instead of pulling in
the opposite direction.
We hope, by creating a better understanding
between the public and the Hospital, to achieve
a strong co-operative spirit between the two with•
out which nothing can be accomplished, We be-
lieve tbat the present critical situation is the
direct result of lack of co-operation between the
two through indifference as a result of improper
knowledge of the facts.
No one person has the right to control, mon-
opolize or have prior right-of-way in dealing with
hospital affairs.. or caring for the sick of the
hospital. The hospital can be viewed somewhat
in the light of a home, where there is not con-
cordr
t est faith and love for humanity,
the out-
look is indeed grim for the family, Only bye
co-operation in a strong effort to achieve the best
possible results, with all striving toward the
same goal can that aim be accomplished. Gos-
sip must be discouraged anal never has .been
known to grow less in the travelling. Not only
the Hospital Aid and those others directly con-
nected with the Hospital, but all citizens can
have a part in discouraging talk detrimental to
Hospital unity and service.
Public interest in our institution and volun-
tary effort on its behalf are absolutely necessary
if the sick are to be properly cared for. Without
a humanitarian spirit the hospital would become
a cold-blooded scientific affair, with no appeal to
the sick in need of cheerful understanding, as
well as the best possible medical attention.
The Hospital gives to the doctor a multitude
of advantages which the public too often forgets,
and the doctor likewise. Its equipment and ser-
vices are at his command, and to give a return
for this accommodation he should co-operate by
abandoning professional jealousies and personal
antagonisms. All units within the scope of hos-
pital service should function in a manner equal.
to the vows taken by both nurse and doctor.
Regardless of what their 'attitude may he, the
Hospital is their bread, and butter. The Board
and the Hospital Aid receive nothing for time
and effort they can ill afford to giveogratis,
We have tried to clarify the situation exist-
ing in 'Seaforth at the present time by present-
ing in a general way the chief problems, and, as
we see them, their only solutions. We have not
exaggerated the facts in any way; the situation
is grave, and it is your right to realize this, so
that your effort in its behalf may be the greater.
Our next article will be a description of day-
to-day life at the Hospital, from the nurses as
well as the patients' viewpoint, with typical
menus and other details, to make a complete
picture of what goes an.
W. H. FINNIGAN,
Chairman of the Board.
A TOAST TO HOSPITAL SERVICE
Here's a toast to those past rand present who helped place in large or small way
the milestones of Hospital Service, arlown ai:l the years to this day. We pause at the
last placed izltiestone where love and humanity meet, andplace fragrant thoughts of
the workers who have travelled this 'Hospital Street. Some have left us for much
higher service, 'where ,s4cknes.s and pain have no part. Let us, who are left, humbly
promise our :Ives to a much larger part. Let us toast the Superintendent, the Board,
Aid and Staff, one and all; the Doctors, the Nurses in white, who stared day and night
to ans'w'er emergency's call; the Nurses in blue who are treading each day through
hospital aisles a service to do the sick folk, and add to this blessing a. smile. Let us
jofrt hearts and Whisper a blessing to the Great Physician of all; Who .has made hearts
responsive and faithful to the need of humanity's call.
