selected right here in our own Auxil
iary. The Duke Auxiliary represents
women from the whole community, all
with one common thought in mind—
“ to do something useful for the hospi
tal .. . giving patients a service mon
ey couldn’t buy.”
This, then is what the cherry-pink
smock symbolizes: doing a service that
can be repaid only with the feeling
you have when you know you are
needed and have helped.
The next General Meeting of the
Auxiliary will be held April 22 at
8 p.m. Officers for the coming year
will be elected.

less attention to detail, are the new
basin stands. In.stead of having the
basin on a draped table, it cau now be
locked on a rolling stand designed to
make draping unnecessary. Three
basins are used in each operation, and
it is estimated that the new stands will
save 25,000 sterile sheets a year!
Staff Quarters. By enclosing an
unused roof space on the fourth floor,
a lounge with a small library area has
been provided for the staff. An extra
dividend comes from this lounge be
cause its roof will be used as a sun
deck. This sun deck on the fifth floor
opens off a small dining room for
operating room personnel. Also on
the fifth floor are lockers which can
accommodate all operating room staff
and students.
This segment of the Duke Medical
Center—the operating rooms and re
lated areas—provides the setting in
which surgeons, anesthetists, nurses,
and their supporting staffs perform
approximately 15,000 operative proce
dures a year.
