Called Bad Names. Anyway

an the other hand we bring in hundreds of COM

fellows take UP beds that would be better filled by
others whose claims more legitimate Then you
know we are not permitted to bring in patient
who is conscious and refuses to go to hospital and
there are more of them than you would think
But we get called bad names just the same for not
taking him.
Most people think an ambulance surgeon is
just green boy; but, although they don't pre-
tend to know it all, they're far from green In the
first place. we get hospital appointments not
from pull, is popularity supposed, but by CON- on

in the hospital before go the bus at all, and,
as l said, it is the hardest service we have. For
instance, at Bellevue they have from eighteen to
twenty calls day. Here we don't have quite SO
many but in five months had over thousand
ambulance cases from police headquarters; you
see we gain experience pretty fast.
But the truth of the matter is that the ambulance
service is abused in New York It's too easy to call
one, and it is done on the slightest provocation.
The police, in some instances at least, use their

at a stretch the second-call' man for twelve; and
these periods come in rotation with every third day
off for complete rest. His duties, however are not
confined to ambulance work exclusively. Between
his mad flights from end Of the district to the
other he must care for the patients he brings In
besides attending to the countless minor injuries
that come to the accident room but always he
must be prepared to drop anything he may be dong
to answer the imperious hum of the buzzer that
calls him to the ambulance.
1t was the senior house surgeon who gave me my
first hint at the inside of things.
Its hard work every minute, he began. None
of us here has much time to Loaf but without
doubt the ambulance men are overworked, besides
being constantly found fault with in the newspapers
Most people have an idea that we're ard-hearted,
brutal lot.
''Of course we all make mistakes; but they never
are SO serious as reported You have heard perhaps
how some one with fractured skull was sent as
common drunk to the police station, where he died
without medical attention, the ambulance surgeon
having refused to take him to the hospital! 1t
looks pretty bad the face of It; but the trou-
bic is that in certain kinds of fractures at the base
of the skull no one can tell Ali you find is man,
saw unconscious and reeking of whisky Often
enough he is chronic drunkard, well known to the
police and, likely not, you have seen him before
in lust the same condition. But after all is said
and done, the mistakes make absolutely no differ
ence because nothing short of a miracle can save
a man in that condition, no matter what happens
to him.

the doctor will take the man, rather than have his
holiday spoiled by being obliged to appear before
the magistrate.
Then there are lot of nervous citizens who
never go out in the street without something hap
pening. They will woman slip and fall
to the pavement. Immediately they call up an am
bulance without waiting to if the person is at
all hurt. Then we rush to the place, and the pros
pective patient has got up and gone away.
Fifty per cent of the calls we answer are
alcoholics of sort another: About half of
themselves a little, and when there is show OF
blood they can't send for us fast enough. :
At this point buzz above our heads warned
me that my first ride ambulance was at

into the court just in time to swing myself up beside
the surgeon on the back seat, as with ciatter OF
the gong the bus turned into the street.

superstitions in existence"
The next trip developed another phase of the

CARD OF THANKS.

The editor of this paper would
be the last man on earth to know
ingly say a word to hurt the feel
ings Of any of its subscribers or
citizens, especially at a time when
the dark winged messenger of
death has brought sorrow to the
home, but from the best of mo-
tives we desire to call the atten-
ton of our readers to the custom
of publishing "cards of thanks. 2
1t is a custom that has outgrown
its purpose, it it ever had one.
When sickness and death comes
to your home it is only natural
thatyour friends and neighbors
should do what they could to as
sist you. They would be heath
ems if they did not. They know
from the expression Of your face
that you are thankful and deeply
appreciate all they do, aud it is
not necessary to rush in to print
and tell the world that your
neighbors were kind when you
were in trouble. The reading
public are becoming tired of the
old stereotyped "card of thanks. !"
You can express to your friends,
by a look or word your thank
fulness in a reimpressive man
uer than you can in a column of
cold type.-Preston Republican.
