Director States
Patient Placement
Is Doctors Right

At the request of the regional
director of the National Infantile
Paralysis Foundation from New
York a meeting of the Madison
County Infantile Paralysis Execu-
tive Committee was held Wednes-'
day. The meeting was also attend
ed by the State Representative
from Columbus and several Chap
ter members.
The local Chapter was advised
that the action taken by them
earlier this year requesting that
all Madison County polio patients
requiring financial assistance from
the Chapter be sent to other hos
pitfalls than a Columbus hospital,
was contrary to the National
Foundation policy.
The Chapter was also advised
that it would be contrary to the
National Foundation policy to
limit assistance to polio patients
to a flat amount for hospitaliza-
ton. This would have required the
patient to pay the difference be-
tween the hospital charges and the
flat amount.
The Chapter passed a resolution
to prepare a comparative table Of
disqualification costs and confer
with the Madison County Medical
Society," which is made up of the
county's medical doctors, in order
to secure placing the County's po-
lio patients requiring Chapter aid
in available hospitals having the
most economical rates. The Ma
tional Foundation considers the
placing of patients in hospitals the
exclusive privilege of the patients
doctor.
Children's Hospital at Colum-
bus has advised the local Chapter
that they are charging a flat rate
of $3.50 per day in non-rocking
bed and non-iron lung cases. Spe-
cial duty nursing care for iron
lung cases, may run as high as
S5400 for each "a hours, it was
said.
1t was learned that hospitaliza-
ton facilities are available to DO
Ito patients at an average daily
rate of about $1,000 as compared
to the $3.50 rate.
Mrs. c. .. Thompson of London
is chairman of the Chapter, Mrs.
Mark S. Taylor, Secretary, Gerald
A. Baynes, Treasurer, these of
ficerS together with Mrs. Vernon
Royce and Miss Ruth Murray
make up the Chapters Executive
committee.
The 1858 March of Dimes cam
palgn netted a total of S1O,851. IA
of which half was sent to the Ma
tional Foundation in New York on
August 1st. The local chapter has
cash on hand in the amount of
S2,949.11 with bills outstanding
which amount to about $3.50, ac-
cording to treasurer Gerald Bay-
neS.
