Nearly One Hundred OPP
erations During the
Month

Cook hospital has heen over
whelmed with surgical cases this
month. There have been ninety
four operations in the hospital dur,
ingt September. and Ethere are
enough more cases scheduled to
bring, the program up to a round
hundred before: the, month closes.
The hospital is crowded and is
SO cramped for room that extra
beds have to be set up In order to
take care Of the patients. This
crowded condition will, be worse
during the winter, as hospital sta
tistics show much more illness in
the winter than. summer. BY far
the greater number of emergency
cases occur in the summer months
but other surgical cases increase
during winter time.
The hospital is averaging fifty
five patients daily this week, and
there are at present. eleven special
nurses on duty in the institution
beside the regular staff. The
growth Of Fairmont in population
reflects in the increased number
OF patients which demand care IN
this public institution.
THE fact that one ward is out OF
commission right now, because OF
painting and re:h ooring; has cou.
plicated the placing Of the sick.
This ward will not be ready for pa.
tients for some. days, yet. The fact
that money is getting scarce is
shown during the past few weeks
by the number5 of cases who have
asked for, time in which to make
their settlement for treatment.
These cases arefnot charity cases,
but are people Temporarily out OF
funds, who will pay as soor rs their
circumstances will pc Inls. The
hospital refuses NO one whose CON
dition demands immediate ntten-
tion, and such persons have been
given the best OF attention, and
viii be permitted to; pay m their
own time such amounts as they are
able. .,ts.
With SO many surgical patients
to care for the nurses have been
extremely. busy, and theaewaitinng
list Of persons. expecting to enter
the hospital for treatment as soon
as room Is available, does not indi-
cate much relief for the ones whose
duty It is to care for them.
