Remedies Proposed
For SA Medical Problems
nV r'UADT ITT TM-5 A mm
BY CHARLIE PRATT
The purpose of this continua
tion to the article on the Infir
mary of last week Is to re
emphasize the Immediacy ofthe
problems through experiences
of people and to present what
Is being considered as re
medies on a general scale. It
Is not the purpose of this arti
cle to criticize Individuals alone
for their actions, but to pre
sent the problems of an en
tire system of operation where
each deflciait part contributes
to the Inadequacy of the whole
system.
At the end of last year, Sue
Slaney and Joanne Foil both
entered the Inflrmarywlth blad
der Infections. They were run
ning very high levers along
with having abdomen pains.
When Dr. Hugh Me Am made
his examination of each, he
found “nothing wrong with
(them)” and recommended
“plenty of aspirin’ to keep
down the fever. They were ad
mitted to the infirmary anyway
because of their high levers
and pain.
Their first bad experience
came when they attempted to
get some soup to eat at 7:00
p. m. for supper. Since the nor
mal supper hour in the Infir
mary Is 4:30, and since the
girls had refused it then due to
the type of food and their con
dition, Mrs. Stevens refused to
provide soup for them saying
there was none available. One
of the other students assistants
found some soup there and gave
It to them at that time.
During the evening both girls
had to scream to get the at
tention of Mrs. Stevens. She
has her living quarters away
from the bed care clinic In the
Infirmary. There Is no way of
communicating between rooms
the way the house is set up,
except to yell loudly. Sue Slaney
had more severe symptoms
than Joaime with a temperature
of 104. During the night the
Darvon which was given as
medicine wore off with the re
sult she had acute pains in her
stomach. It took a long time to
find Mrs. Stevens, who con
tinued to administer Darvon,
although she expressly refused
to tell either one what the medi
cation was. Sue felt so bad ttial
she decided to check out of the
Infirmary and go Into town for
tests. They verified the bladder
Infection and disproved the
cold/flu diagnosis.
Joanne Foil went to see a
urologist at home after school
was over. He was shocked at
the treatment given her aiid
said that such Illnesses “can
be cleared up In seven days
with proper diagnosis and treat
ment.” Instead it took a lot of
monej seeing a urologist over
the summer for both to recover
fully.
Neither Joanne nor Sue were
ever recommended to see other
physicians or specialists when
they went to the infirmary with
this problem. Nor were there
facilities to diagnose such ill
nesses at the Infirmary although
equipment for this Is relatively
Inexpensive.
Another student, Eric Gre
gory, had a complaint In re
gard to his experience with im
proper diagnosis and the re
sulting Improper medication:
“In the infirmary, no shots or
drug should be given without at
tendance of a physician. ”
Dr. Rol)ert Urle, who has an
interest In the Infirmary at
least in regard to the RSA
program and physically handi
capped students, said that the
Infirmary is a high priority
Item. The student Cabinet is
taking names for a committee
to discuss and act upon the
of the infirmary system, Mr.
Urle outlined some of the mSHy
choices tills group will have.
First, there Is the posslbllty of
receiving federal funds for
health care under the auspices
of an extension to a dormitory
as a reh^llltatlon service. This
would be either an addition or a
replacement for a centralized
Infirmary. It would also serve
the general student txxly as
well as provide facilities for
more severely handicapped stu
dents. A second option Is the
scrapping of the Infirmary as a
diagnostic and treatment center
and reducing It to the position
of a dispensary for drugs and
other medical supplies. The
third is to begin a whole new
Infirmary with facilities for
diagnosis and treatment on a
large scale. There is a tena-
tive design for such an infir
mary but no actual blueprliUs
or any final financial figures.
It t>ecomes apparent that most
of the long term plans for change
of infirmary operation will de-
mand a transitional period
which mustutlllzethe Infirmary
as It exists. For this period,
beginning now, changes are nec
essary to protect the welfare of
students.
