Infirmary Hours
(Ed. Note: We printed this two weeks ago. Since that time, several
members of the staff plus quite a few other students have contracted
terrible and hideous colds. "Nursey” Short has been tremendous
in helping ease our discomforts from this ghastly series of victims
falling prey to the common cold. If you get a cold, let her help. It’s
not charity. Your tuition helps pay for the service.)
Many students come to the infimary during the school year
and say they did not know about health services; did not know
doctors came to campus; and do not know what is available. If
you do not know about the infirmary, please clip this article
and file it with your reference materials.
Nursing service ia available at the infirmary from 8:00 a.m.
Monday through 8:00 a.m. Saturday. The Infirmary is closed
weekends, but if anyone needs medical help, call a school
dortor, contact a campus police officer for help, or go direct
ly to the hospital emergency room.
There is no charge for infirmary services if you are a
registered student. Overnight stays, medications, treatments,
or visits to the school doctor at the infirmary are covered
by your health fee. All matters discussed are confidential
among the medical staff and are not disclosed to outsiders
except with your permission. If you are sent to a doctor's
office, given a prescription to be filled, or go to a labora
tory, or have x-rays, charges are made by the departments
involved. We do not have a x-ray or laboratory facilities,
so this is not a full-service infirmary.
Infirmary open hours. Although nursing service is available
24 hours during weekdays for emergencies that cannot wait
until open hours, or occur after the infirmary is closed,
the hours open are liberal, enabling students to come for all
illnesses except emergencies.
