2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville,4January 15, 1975 figher Standards <From Page One) of the heart through phone to a central station be set up; 4. patients be moved to another hospital with a card- iac care unit if possible; 5. procedures regarding drug administration be reviewed. A jury of three men and two women deliberated for more than an hour before handing down these recommendations stemming from the death of Della Vinson, 66, of R.R. 6, Bowmaiiville. She died at the hospital early in the morning of Aug. 23, 1974, a day and balf after she'd been admitted there, and the day ber doctor glanned to have ber examined y a heart specialist. However no blame was ascribed to either Mrs. Vin- son's doctor, Dr. Howard Rundle who had ber admitted to the hospital, or his son, Dr. John Rundie, who was respon- sible for the early-morning fight to save ber life. But Dr. Gary Webb, chief cardiologist at Toronto's Wellesley Hospital, a witness in the case, did say that while death was "probably unavoid- able", he feit both father and son could have institued other procedures in the Vinson case. "SERIOUS MATTER" He said that Dr. Howard Rundle's delay in examining the woman for six hours after she was admitted was "a serious matter." As well, leaving instructions to administer 75 milligrams of morphine over a five-hour period, a larger that normal dose for some patients, as some witnesses agreed, might have been changed if the atient was examined sooner, e said. The morphine also could cause a reduction in respir- ation, Dr. Webb said, and this could make a minor heart attack into a major heart attack. Earlier a nurse and a nursing supervisor had testi- fied that the had questioned and checked the amount of morphine dosage with the doctor by telephone before administering, it to Mrs. Vinson. Dr. Webb also said that the 600 milligrams plus of laido- caine Dr. John Rundle admin- istered to Mrs. Vinson within 35 minutes when she appeared in great pain to try to get ber heart to work normally was "excessive" and dangerous." This kind of dose led to the "spastic" twitching of the 4tient's hands and feet that ad been described by nursing supervisor Nancy Veals earlier. Her low pulse and heart rate should have shown this, he added. INSHOCK According to Dr. Webb, from what he could determine the woman was in a "state of shock" from Aug. 22, the day she was admitted to the hospital, until her death. This opinion was not shared by the hospital staff, he added, or if it was, "action was not taken to appropriately treat it."1 Dr. John Rundle and nurse Veals had stated that different drugs were given Mrs. Vinson in the early morning before she died, and a type of cardiac massage was attempted. "It would have been more helpful to do these things before 'game over'," said Dr. Webb. He added that merely ob- serving the pattern of a pa- tient's heart on a monitor as Dr. Rundle said he had, "doesn't mean a cardiac massage." A qualified internist should have been called in sooner, and the possibility of trans- ferring ber to the Oshawa General Hospital also consid- ered earlier,"' he added. However Dr. John Rundle had earlier told Crown Attor- ney Bruce Affleck that he didn't have time to think of massage or implanting a pacemaker in those few hours. 1I was pre-occupied with the treatment, and there was no other doctor available in the hospital," he said. "I just thought maybe we could get her stable and shipped to Oshawa," he added Oshawa Times The first and third year sewing classes had an oppor- tunity to display their first term work at the Winter Wonderland Fashion Show on January 9th. at B.H.S. Al- though the show only lasted a scant 30 minutes, 45 outfits were modelled. The show was co-ordinated by third year student Judy Carter with the assistance of the first term sewing teacher Nancy Woollings. Judy's script was read by commenta- tor, Shelly Leddy. Sandra Knight who was responsible for set design, picked up the theme of "winter wonder- land" with a huge snowman which she spent most of her Christmas holidays making. John Carter (the young man in the front row of the picture) was responsible for the music which leaned heavily to rock music like Elton John and Lighthouse. Miss Woollings thought the fashion show was very good experience for the girls. "They are very proud of their work and usually nobody gets to see their accom lish- ments". She explained that the girls were very nervous about walking across the sta e, but they concealed it well. She had no trouble finding girls to participate. One of the favorites in the show was Cynthia Ball's three-piece suit in red cord- uroy. Leslea Dalrymple's shirt and skirt of blue cord- uroy with embroidered flow- ers was another bit.

Celebrates Her 94th Birthday No Height Restriction At Present The Flying Dutchman Motor Inn management re- cently went to the Newcastle Comrnmittee of adjustment for a minor variance on their proposed tower, only to find that the committee could find no height restriction of build- ings in the town.

The committee decided to hold the Dutchman request in abeyance. C.s.s. Even though winter exams are closing in fast, all our Cougars are still in top form when it comes to sports.
