County Hospital Management

Editor Herald: I believe in giving
credit where credit Is due.
wish to state have been an iesnate
of the Los Angeles County Hospital
much of the time for the past two years.
Never have l seen the wards SO clean
or the hospital in better shape or the
food as good as for the past year. To
my own personal knowledge the super
intendent and his assistants have Wis
tied the wards at least twice q day. and
oftener when necessary, and at all times
l have found them and the nurses both
exceedingly kind and attentive. Some
of the patients are persons who have
never been satisfied with themselves or
any one else; these are the only ones
who grumble or are dissatisfied.
wish further to state that If few fanat-
ical persons who seem to think their
special calling in life is to meddle with
the affairs of other persons, would be
kept out of the hospital 1t would be bet
ter for the health and peace of the pa
tients and nurses. I know 1t would
have been in my case. These meddle-
some people in their visits to the hospital
constantly aim to make anyone whose
hearing they can gain dissatisfied by
giving old clothes or fruit, and they will
not have much to do with a patient who
is pleased or grateful for the kind treat
ment that I know all receive.
1 feel there is not one patient in ten
who would not express the same senti-
ments. PETER BLANCHARD.
