Duke Hospital, InterGom Page 7 What People Are Saying From a Durham newapaper man: I had occasion last week to per sonally view the proin])t and courteous attention rendered by Duke’s Emer- S'eiicy staff. It was niy first experience in the Enier>rency Department, and the maneuvers of all the hospital at tendants—doctors and others—as sured me that Duke certainly deserves ttie hi?h j)erch it has been jiven among those in need of medical care. From a Durham patient: I was released from your Keed Ward in July. The j^eneral atmos phere of cheerful interestedness on the part of members of your staff, all included, belied in every waj^ the f?eneral impression one has of a hos- I)ital as a cold and hateful house of detention. From a Duke faculty member: 1 have been in and out of Duke Hos- ))ital a number of times in the past twenty-five years. This time it seemed to me that the patient’s comfort came first with everyone from the residents to the orderlies. The service was excellent, the food was fjood, but most imi>ortant, the courteous thoughtfulness of the mem bers of the staff was remarkable. Not once was my meal, my bath, or other ))ersonal comforts, interrupted in order that the schedule of the staff' member mi|'ht come first. The at titude on the ])art of everyone was that the patient’s comfort and well-bein; come first. A wonderful job is beinj' done on Hanes Ward. From a North Carolina patient; This is a letter of praise and "rati- tude for the kind of care jriven at Meyer Ward. May I conj?ratulato you, your doctors, your nurses-in- char"e for making of that haven a j)lace of no-fear and still a place of encouragement with just enough })ush toward life-on-the-outside. From the daughter of a North Caro- Una, patient: I want to take this opportunity to thank the staff of Osier AVard for their thoughtfulness during the recent stay of my mother. Services could not have been better by the nurses on all three shifts, nor the doctors.
