On the last day of Christmas A neighbor said to me: Do come over, bring your friends, And enâ€"joy a cup of tea! So it is that a happy group reâ€" paired to the home of Mr. and Mrs. George James, Culford Rd. to partake of tea and Christmas fare served in the warming glow of the yule log burning brightly on the family hearth, Hospitals have difficult, decisâ€" lons to make in regard to chronâ€" ie elderly patients and have had to refrain from admitting them because there simply isn‘t room. We have a gigantic problem â€" for the doctor, for the hosâ€" pital and especially for the folks most: concerned, the patients. ¢ AWARDS FOR GEORGE HARVEY Five George Harvey secondary school students upheld the honâ€" our of the school and were preâ€" sented with the following athâ€" letic awards. Dom Schiraldi won the award as the outstanding football playâ€" er at George Harvey. Fernando Compagna was given The answer to this problem is of course more general practiâ€" cioners. Not everyone who needs a doctor‘s care needs to beâ€"hosâ€" pitalized. . The next time we are faced with a really sick person in our family we have decided to head straight for the hospital.. At least you can always find mediâ€" cal help there, day or night. Of course, as more and. more people find this solution it is going to be pretty hard on emergency wards. is more lucrative and they do not have the same number of house calls to make, but. what about the patients! The nurse told us that it had been this way for the past week. She said there were only two doctor‘s to take care of an enorâ€" mous city area. This same week hospitals were utilizing every available space for the patients, corridors and emergency rooms as well as sending patients home sooner than they would have unâ€" der normal cireumstances. Emerâ€" gency wards are filled day and night. : It is understandableâ€"that phyâ€" sicians prefer to specialize. It The doctor‘s phone was jump:â€" ing off the hook. We saw two rooms full of patients come and go. The doctor kept three conâ€" sulting rooms on the go, jumping from one patient to the other. Pity the poor doctor. We were hesitant to disturb the doctor in the middle of the night so we struggled along unâ€" til 8 a.m. before calling for help. A young girl‘s voice answered. saying the nurse wouldn‘t be in until 9:30 am. "Phone then for an appointment" she said. Dutiâ€" fully we phoned at 9:30 a.m. "Sorry, no nurse yet" she said. Feeling worse by the minute we finally talked to the nurse at 10 am. and she told us that if we really needed to see the docâ€" tor she would try to fit use in about 5 p.m. at the office. By that time you could be dead. After sitting in the doctor‘s office for over an hour we finalâ€" ly got to see the doctor. We took up ten minutes of his time getâ€" ting a diagnosis and prescription. When a person is really ill, it shouldn‘t be all that difficult to get a doctor to the house, but in December we ran into trou: ble. We shudder to think what would happen if we were desperâ€" ately in need of a doctor and the same set of circumstances repeatâ€" ed themselves if we had had a heart attack for instance.
