People went there mostly to. die; TTiey fought bitterly to stay out of the hospital. Joseph Lister, an English surgeon of the 19th century, introduced the practice of sterile techniques in surgery. | The doctor met much opposi- 1 tion in trying to popularize his methods but before long, when results were found to be good, his idea took root, to the benefit of all mankind. At McHenry hospital, the surgical department is responsible for t-he sterilization of all material and equipment. The nurses assigned to surgery are trained* assistants in the application of casts used in bone work. Splints and traction are routine procedures to the nurses. They are qualified to handle emergencies as they occur. Often they are called upop'to "ride" the ambulance to the scene of an accident. The ambulance crew consists of the driver, his assistant and a nurse. Within the ambulance a life saving oxygen tank is standard equipment. The tank is equipped^with an inhalator and a resuscitator. It is also possible to use their equipment I as a suction pump to remove ! water and to prevent the victim of a severe accident from drowning in his own fluid. Mr. Leonard, in charge of the surgery department of McHenry hospital, infomis us that most accidents in this vicinity occur in the early morning hours and in late evening. Friday seems to be the day for accidents in this resort area, probably because of heavier traffic then The ambulance also carries a cot which may be used for various positions for cardiac cases. Occasionally a patient may require some highly specialized type of treatment. Then, too, the ambulance plays an important part in the operation of a hospital. When blood of a certain type is needed and is not in the McHenry Blood Bank the state troopers bring it out from Michael Reese hospital- in Chicago or from Waukegan. Many hospitals • now participate in the Blood Bank. This is a plan hospitals created for the purpose of blood stocking. It is one more life-saving device. Emergency service is important to a hospital in a resort area such as McHenry. Summertime boating and swimming bring about accidents. In wjnter, skiing and tobogganing, ice fishing and skating bring on a different kind of emergency. In any case the difference between life and death may be just as simple as counting the difference in miles between a hospital nearby and one many miles distant. McHenry hospital is equipped and staffed to do serious bone work and skin grafts, not only in emergencies but also in instances when disease calls for these surgical practices. Elastic repairs and reconstructions of nose and ears not unusual. Ear surgery is sometimes used to restore or produce hearing. Major eye surgery is another important phase of the work of the specialist. Chest siirgeiy and neurosurgery are not uncommon at this hospital. Doctors do diagnostic procedures which utilize bone marrow to recognize the existence of such diseases as enemia, cancer and leukemia. « , Coming soon to McHenry hospital is piped-in oxygen which will offer a continuous supply of oxygen without thedelay caused by changing tanks during operations. Oxygen will also be piped throughout the hospital for immediate availability for patients and emergencies. The hours of any and all hospital workers are not regulated by a time clock. Nurses, technicians, doctors, everyone is virtually on twenty-four hour duty. They must be available when needed. These people are a class unto themselves, unselfish, humane and efficient -- but most Of all they are dedicated to serving the human race. The year 46 B.C. was known as the. "year of confusion," because the calendar was three months ahead of the seasons. T h e R o m a n c a l e n d a r w a s changed at the whim of politicians To adjust the calendar to the seasons, the year 46 B.C. was given 15 months.
