Milford Memorial
Hospital News

One of the problems confronting
all community hospitals and Mil
ford Memorial is no exception, is, of
course, the same problem facing
every business, large or small, that
is, increasing costs without pro-
portionate increase in cash revenue.
This hospital along with all other
community hospitals is required
under their state charter to admit
every patient who comes to the door
if we have a bed to put him in-ex-
cept he have a contagious disease,
is insane, or dead drunk. Then after
the patient is given the best nurs-
ing care and every attention, medi-
cal or surgical, laboratory or X-ray
we find that he or she has no mon
ey, no resources with which to pay
their account. This is not an every
day occurance to be sure, but at the
present time we have patient who
had been shot in the hip and part OF
the bone was shot away, some shot
was in the vital area of the abdO-
men. He received antitetanus, blood
plasma, three intravenous solutions
vitamins, all costing in excess OF
$500 per day. Today his account
is over 5000 and still mounting. The
county will pay on INDECENT cases
such as this, if the person is a resi-
dent of the state, $4.00 per day fol
28 days-so the hospital must foot
the bill for the balance.
1t is plainly evident, therefore, il
this hospital maintains it's stand
ard of service TO the community
folks who owe a bill to the hospita
for medical care, should pay whai
they owe at once if at all possible
ito do so.
