Similarly high standards control the quality of medical education. Every single medical school in Canada is rated Class “A” standing by the Coun­ cil on Medical Education and Hospi­ tals of the American Medical Associa­ tion, the approving body on this con­ tinent. Next, there is the medical staff or­ ganization, with its various commit­ tees and monthly staff meetings and clinical pathological conferences. New ideas and procedures are studied and unusual cases or laboratory findings discussed. All deaths in a hospital are studied to see if anything more could have been done, and any unexplained infections are traced back. Medical staff appointments are ap­ proved by a credentials committee. Most hospitals are requiring that doc­ tors undertaking serious procedures have special qualifications for doing so. A few years ago it looked as though the general* practitioner was being squeezed out of the hospital pic­ ture but today the trend is to give him a definite and important place on the staff. It is desirable for both the public and the profession that doctors keep abreast of hospital progress. This is possible and still have major work controlled. Then, too, in Canada and the United States we are fortunate in having what is called an "accreditation” pro­ gram for hospitals. This is operated jointly by our national medical and hospital organizations. To be approv­ ed, a hospital must have a good staff organization, good laboratory and X-ray equipment, accurate clinical records and be able to meet a host of other stiff requirements. Full approval is a hallmark of protection. From this it can readily be seen that our public hospitals have left little undone to give each and every patient the utmost of protection. If, ths year, you happen to be the one in six who will be admitted to the hospital, calm your fears and do not be unduly alarmed. One can honestly say that fare and been so tected. G. HARVEY AGNEW, m,d. One out of every six persons living on your street or in your community Will probably be admitted to hospital during 1955, When these individuals enter a hos­ pital they entrust themselves, in most cases, to the care of strangers. This, in itself, can be a disturbing fact and, to nervous people, a terrifying thought. Since the majority, upon admission, are emotionally upset, nervous and worried, it should be reassuring to realize the many ways whereby their welfare and safety are protected. The Provincial Government, itself, has established rigid regulations to control the operation of public hos­ pitals. The Public Hospitals' Act and supplementary regulations set up re­ quirements concerning fire precautons, staff appointments, isolation, labora­ tory examinations, consultation cial returns In addition, spectors to these regulations. in- of clinical records, on certain cases, finan- and many other details, the Province employs ensure observation re­ Wingham ALL WAYS AT YOUR SERVICE For safe, trouble-free mo toring, drive up and “shoe- up” anew!

These include regula­ tions governing the medical staff work, safety precautions, such as in the use of okygen tents or anaesthetic gases, rules respecting the administra­ tion of drugs and narcotics and even the identification of newborn babies. Then we have a highly-trained and rigidly controlled nursing staff. It is obligatory for our nursing schools to meet certain high standards set up by the Province and the nursing pro- Presbyterian Young People’s Society The regular meeting of the Presby­ terian Young People’s Society was held in the Sunday School room of the church on Monday evening, April 25, at 8.00 p.m. Mary Scott led in the sing-song.
