medical service or for an operation
to correct some bodily function you
should have with you written or
der from your family physician to
the hospital to admit you and place
you in the proper section of the
hospital.
On arriving at the hospital you
must of course answer such ques-
tions as are required, some are
necessary for our hospital records,
others are required by the state
laws. Other questions are requir-
ed in order that we may know how
to render an accounting Of the
/, charges incurred during your stay
in the hospital and you or rela-
tive must sign as the one who is
to be held responsible for pay
ment of the account. 1t is also
required. that the patient or rela-
4 tive sign form granting permis-
sion for the performance of such
operation or procedures as are nee
essary in your case. You are then
taken to the private room, semi
private room or ward, your cloth
ing and yaluables returned to the
relative accompanying you.
Your family physician is then
notified that you are properly hous-
ed in the hospital and he in. turn
gives the nurse in attendance and
the resident physician the neces.
sary orders to insure you proper
medical care.
The writer has noticed that some
/ of the patients are in a state of ner
yous tension and it is difficult fol
the entering clerk to get answers
to some of the questions. If all pa
i tients could keep foremost in thei
minds that from the time they en-
Z ter the doors all the personnel o
this hospital is striving to give tn,
: best attention possible and if care
7 treatment and modern medicine cal
!, help your condition you will b
!. improved materially by your sta,
: with us.
:. So when you come to the hospi
= tai be prepared to answer the fol
!, lowing questions: Name in full an
address, whether married, single
:, widowed, divorced or separated
u birthday, day, month and year, an
birth place, your occupation, re

! and telephone number; the nam
of your family physician or tn
e name of the doctor who sent you

n son who will be responsible for tn

the process of signing in if yo
