bus schedule or help a patient make a
loeal or long distance phone call.
Guides secure meal tickets from the
fund earmarked for that purpose, if,
and when, we sense a patient is in
need of such aid.
“The O.P.C. Registration Office
calls on us occasionally to guide a
patient or relative, or to go to the rec
ord library and obtain a clinic card
for someone unable to go himself. If
there aren’t many patients to be
guided, we can olfer to interview a
patient, or go and chat with someone
who has been waiting a long time. On
two or three occasions we have found
patients waiting in the wrong clinic!
“Our work is mainly around the
O.P.C. clinics, but we do guide many
patients to P.D.C. The regular rou
tine of a guide is to direct patients to
all clinics, blood bank, record library,
business and admitting office, phar
macy, drug store, coffee counter, shop
cart, rest rooms, or any other area
they wish to reach. That should be
merely the basis for our w'ork.
“It is always a pleasure to help our
dear Miss Barbour in O.P.C. Chest X-
Ray Department in any way we can—
especially when 200 or so students
come through for routine chest x-rays
in two or three days. At that time,
extra guides are needed for clerical
work and the regular clinic patients
are still there to be cared for.
“Soon the O.P.C, Department will
be moving to the new wing. We are
looking forward to our new' duties
there and hope we can be of assistance
to both the patients and the staff. ’ ’
