Hospital hgures
Outline Activities
Figures released by the Griffin
Memorial hospital showing the
work of the hospital for a typi
cal week point to increasing act
ivity and adds emphasis to
the importance of the hospi
tal as a community institution.
In an average ten dav period
the records of the staff show:
Five births.
Two pneumonia cases.
One streptococcic meningitis.
(This would have proved fatal
two or three years ago before the
advent of sulphapyridine, and
would have been fatal outside a
hospital and without continuous
treatment)
Ten operations, of which five
were tonsillectomies, the others:
one gall bladder removal, incision
and drainage of a peritonsillar
abscess, operation for osteomye
litis of the leg which the patient
had had for thirty years, and
one hernia operation.
Beside these cases there were
various miscellaneous item=, ii>
cisions of abscesses, treatment of
colds and influenza, suturing of
various sized cuts and other med
ical treatment.
During this average period
there were 17 patients in the hos
pital at one time, with an aver
age of 12 patients for the ten
days.
