RUTH a "ie: Coroner's Jury Attacks Medical Care By 'Phone "PICKERING (Staff) -- A cor- oper's jury inquiring into the death of a 22-year-old woman Fagin | night found '"'faulty the system that permits diag- sis and treatment by tele- hone" in the area serviced by the Ajax Hospital, *Mrs. Ruth Ann Wright, 22, formerly of Rosebank road, Pickering, died early on the morning of July ? after attend- ing a wedding reception and Hing treated for alcohol con- sumption and released from the Ajax and Pickering Gen- eral Hospital. i *The findings of the jury com- sed of three men and two women, were as follows: "Ruth Ann Wright died of a condition known as pancreatitis and shock at 5 a-m., July 7. «The jury attached the follow- ing rider to their findings as to the circumstances of the girl's death: "We the jury find faulty the system that permits diagnosis and treatment by telephone. Also we feel the hospital should be properly staffed by a medi- cal doctor at all times. That forms should be provided with ace for medical history. In Wew of the fact that the hospital has provided medical facilities tg many people in the past we feel that the system rather than the individual is at fault." ATTENDED RECEPTION *The jury reached its verdict alter more than an hour's de- Wberation. *The inquest in the Pickering Village Hall under Coroner Dr. EB A. Cuddy was held to in- vestigate the circumstances of the death of the mother of two children, :The jury: learned that Ruth eral hours later, Mr. Wright said, ' Mr. Wright said he was at home cleaning up the house when he received a phone call from his father-in-law informing him of the serious condition of his wife. "Her eyes were glazed and there did not appear to be any life in her body," Mr. Wright said when describing the situa- tion he encountered -after re- turning to her parents' home. Rodger Robbins, father of the deceased, said the couple had come to his home at 4 a.m. after leaving the hospital. He added that he had helped his daughter to bed and return- ed to bed himself. HEARD MOANING "I heard her moan and then things started to happen," the father said. Mrs. Shirley Knowles told the jury she was on duty in her position as a nurse at the Ajax Hospital on the night in ques- on. The nurse said she received a telephone call from Doctor Macliveen saying a woman was on the way to the hospital and she was to give the patient an injection of 100 milligrams of demitol, ; Mr. Wright told the inquest that at no time immediately prior to her death was Mrs, Wright examined by a doctor. Doctor J. S. Martin, assistant pathologist at the Oshawa Gen- éral Hopsital, told the jury he had done a post-mortem on Mrs. death. He said the alcohol in her sys- tem indicated she had not been drinking to the point of intoxica- tion and that alcohol in the sys- tem was not the dire.' cause of Wright the afternoon after her of Health because of licence difficulties, tried to establish a similar home in*British Colum- bia whch met with the same fate. Now she heads an orphanage, traning centre and ambulance service in Aiyetoro Community, Kabba Province of Nigeria. In a public letter, she tells of work and accomplishment in that area and makes a plea for help in obtaining tools with which to continue the job. SMALL HOSPITAL The village described by Mrs. Whyte is small and many miles from any city. There are no telephones, cars, electricity, or running water. A small hospi- tal with a doctor and two nurses is 14 miles from the village.- It is to this hospital that her ambulance transports the sick from surrounding villages. The ambulance is an old pick-up truck which Mrs. Whyte says is on-tfgsfast legs. It is covered with a torn tarpaulin and a door or similar makeshift must i lserve as a stretcher. "Very sel- HAY IN PIONEER SETTING Museum Group Readies For Pioneer Show PICKERING (Staff) -- A bit of the flavor of pioneer living in Pickering Township will be presented to the public' at the second annual exhibition of the Pickering Township Museum in Brougham Saturday, Sept. 14. The museum, operated by the Pickering\, Township Historical Society, is\the finest of its type in the area and has been Fs to rival the famed Upper G ada Villase. . The displays staged by local people include a blacksmith shop in operation shoeing horses, several ancient steam farm tractors in operation and displays ranging from log saw- ing to weaving, all on authentic antique machinery. The museum housed in sev- eral buildings in Brougham on No. 7 highway, several hundred yards west of the intersection of the Brock road and number 7 highway. Members. of the Pickering Township Historical Society founded the museum in 1961, the year of the 150th anniver- sary of the Township. Since its begining three years ago, the museum has grown from the original one- room school house with the ad- dition of a barn and cabin both over 100 years old. The cabin is complete with the furnishings of the early pioneer cabins in the Township. The display will open to the public at 12 noon until 6 p.m. on Saturday. f | Whyte. dom does a day go by in which we are not called,' writes Mrs. "Although some die because it is too late when we ate called, many are spared for which we thank God." 22 BABIES Iler orphanage, Whytehaven Missions, houses 22 babies. The training centre is a com-| munity project, founded and} supported br an advisory board of Kabba Province chiefs and leaders and a working commit- tee from Ayietoro Community. This committee forms work bands and advises of new work as well as providing supplies and lecturing the community on its duties. Its objectives are to care for orphans and to train them as leaders and super- visors for branch works as well as to train men and women and help them in- establishing agri- cultural and child care projects in their own villages, . "Nigerians are in great ignor- ance on every aspect of farm- ing," says Mrs. Whyte. "Each year, they go into the forest and cut down a piece of about) two acres with primitive tools. They then burn the area off during the -dry season and among the logs and stumps not burned, they make heaps to plant their yams which is their staple food." GROUND CLEARED Work accomplished includes a large building for the orphans donated by the people of the surrounding villages. But Mrs. Whyte says it will take months to pay for the labor and cement needed to complete it. A large area of ground has been cleared and is under cultivation. This was a feat in itself, as Mrs. Whyte says, it was done with a two-foot hoe and a machine. A poultry building has been built with a 150-egg incubator. But there are no hatching eggs apart from "the little native kind." . Her most urgent needs are a dispensary and equipment, farm equipment, 'a van to be used fir ambulance service, medical supplies and seeds from which to grcw fruit, nuts, vegetables and flowers.
