The regular monthly meeting will
be held on July 25th.
It is a fair assumption that from
the time the world's first hospital was
established and down through the
years ever since, a hospital, like a
minister’s wife, has always been fair
game for criticism.
Regardless of the particular part of
the province in which you may reside,
undoubtedly over the years you have
heard criticism of your hospital, its
board of trustees, its staff, its facili
ties. Some of it, perhaps, is not with
out justification. Rut the bulk of
criticism of any public hospital opera
ting in Ontario today is completely
unwarranted and undeserved, usually
coming from a lack of knowledge of
all the facts.
All of which brings us to the topic
of “hospital public relations.” Public
relations, or "P.R.” as it is more fre
quently called, is a term which seems
to be extensively used on this con
tinent today. Many of the experts in
this field seems to have numerous
definitions of the term. My own view
is that "public relations” is nothing
more than "relations with the public.”
No other organization in your com
munity needs the support of everyone
to build and maintain good public
relations, yet it is so likely to be critic
ised, as your local hospital.
When one stops to consider the situ
ation, it is quite understandable why
hospitals are so frequently unjustly
criticised. When people have occasion
to use a hospital they are usually bad
ly injured or ill themselves, or are
emotionally upset over the condition
of a loved one. As a result, incidents
or situations which normally would
occasion little thought become matters
of serious import and of grave con
cern.
As everyone knows, things can, and
do, go wrong at the office, at home or
with the family car, especially with
the latter if that family has teen
aged children. But ordinarily the aver
age Canadian family take these incid
ents in their, stride and forget them.
Yet, when a member of the family
goes to hospital, it is a topic of much
conversation among relatives and
friends. Consequently, any unfavour
able comments or criticism of the
hospital spread like wildfire through
out the entire community.
It is only to • be expected that oc
casions will arise in any hospital when
something might not be done as well,
or as promptly, as the patient or some
of his relatives may desire or expect.
Actually, when one considers the
great variety of services hospitals
must render and the number of in
dividuals involved, the marvel is that
occasions for legitimate criticism oc
cur so rarely. The' large number of
individuals involved includes doctors,
nurses, dietitians, maids, orderlies,
switchboard operators and so on all
of whom are only human and there
fore, capable of making mistakes or
of misunderstanding an order. But it
is to prevent human errors and mis
interpretation of orders that hospitals
have set up rigid rules, regulations
and standard procedures which go far
beyond what an ordinary business
would consider essential.
Any individual who has had much
to do with hospitals realizes that
most complaints and criticisms are
due solely to misunderstanding and
‘BUTTERCUP” PIERCE
VERSATILE STUNTMAN
“Buttercup” Pierce is perhaps the
most versatile stuntman in the thrill
show business today. As a precision
driver on the ramps, "Buttercup" has
few if any, peers. His feat of turning
an automobile almost on its sides
while driving one-handed d'ver high
ramps has thrilled thousands of ex
citement-starved spectators.
"Buttercup” graduated from high
school to racing motorcycles, then
built and raced autos and was one of
the originators of the midget racing
car at which he was an outstanding
success. It was a natural step for
ward to hoop up with the late
"Lucky” Teeter and since that time
he has devoted his summer seasoiis
to thrill shows.
Keep your eyes on this human
dynamo as he directs all track oper
ation, as well as driving in many of
the toughest stunts, and also note that
all times he drives with only one
hand on the wheel.
"Buttercup” hails from Jacksonville,
Florida, but liked Canada so well that
a few years ago, he took out his
Canadian Citizenship papers.
You can see him perform at the
old Wingham fair grounds on July
22nd, sponsored by the Wingham
Kinsmen Club.
to the fact that most patients and
their relatives, particularly at the time
of admission, are emotionally upset.
Many psychologists frankly state that
all of us when physically sick (and
our close relatives too) are mentally
disturbed as well.
Frequently nurses have to carry out
orders of the doctor which are not
known, or have not been explained, to
the patient. An example may be the
"shooing out of visitors, which re
sults in a complaint from the patient.
Some patients may complain that they
are unable to sleep because of the
snoring of a neighbour, yet the
“snorer” will complain that he never
slept a wink all night and he’ll berate
the nurse for charting that he "slept
fairly well."
Today, in keeping with the modern
trend hospitals are doing everything
in their power to build and retain
good relationship with all of their
“publics.” Better working conditions
and more benefits are being provided
for the staff. Detailed information
about the hospital and the reasons
for its regulations are being given to
patients. Longer visiting hours, later
breakfasts and a choice of meals are
now being given to patients. Better
furnishings, radios, hospitality shops
and even hairdressing salons are
other recent innovations which hos
pitals have introduced, all of which
improve public relations.
Next time you hear a complaint or
criticism about your hospital, remem
ber that this may not be the whole
story. Don’t help to spread it! Instead,
adopt the attitude that “P.R.” could
also mean "prevent rumours.” Why
not tell the hospital officials if you
have a complaint, they will either cor
rect the fault or give you all the facts.
Riddle-Bride Vows
In Fordwich Church

orated the Fordwich United Church

carnations.

was groomsman, and Dick Weber,
Ralph Bentley and Jim Hembley were
ushers. Robert Bride, brother of the

corsage of pink chrysanthemums.

sels, Listowel, Stratford, Brucefield,

Farms, Palmerston, The bride is a
graduate of Teacher’s College, Strat
ford, and the groom is a graduate of
the Ontario Agricultural College,
Guelph,

EXPERT CLAIMS

"It seems that society finds it hard
to grasp the fact. that preventive
medicine has,so increased the expecta
tion of life that old people are no
longer old,” writes Dr. Gordon Bates
in an editorial of the current issue
of Health magazine, official publica
tion of the Health League of Canada.
"Since 1900 the average duration of
life has increased in civilized count
ries from an average of 50 years to
nearly 70, and one authority has pre
dicted that by 1970 the average in
Canada will be about 80.”
"Even newspaper columnists, gener
ally quick on the trigger, have scarcely
sensed the change,” says Dr. Bates.
“Their constant references to the
aging Sir Winston Churchill is evi
dence that they haven’t caught up
with the times. It is probably a source
of annoyance • to a great statesman,
who in his 80’s,- has still more wit,
energy and wisdom than any of
them.”
