PAGE (WELVE THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1928 IMPROVEMENTS IN HOSPITALS AIRED BY U.S. DOCTORS That Institutions Be Required to "Follow Up" - Patients After Treatment Boston, Oct. 13.--The Board of Regents of the American College of Surgeons Tuesday took a fur- ther step in increasing the re- sponsibility of hospitals towards their patroms. The regent pted a prop made by Dr. Frederic J. Cotton, chief surgeon of the Bostom 'City Hospital, that a hospital, to secure a place on the "approved list" of the college, be required to "follow up" patients six months after they leave that hospital. Records of the condition of the patient to determine the degree of recovery or failure to improve, as a result of the hospital treatment, must be kept. This, Dr. Cotton explained, is another step in the program of the College of Surgeons for improve- ment in the treatment of patients. While the regents wére taking this action, the hospital standard- ization conference of the Medical Congress was discussing methods of improving the staff conference which has been made obligatory upon all "approved hospitals." Doctors call these monthly staff meetings '"'death meetings." he- cause at them each physician who has lost a patient is required to tell why, and meet the questions of his colleagues.

Cot- a tt 4 the College ut tem years ago , which is a selective organization composed of surgeons of proved standing, set out to try to improve hospital methods in the interests of the patient. The improvements in technique and equipment cost money. Dr. Cotton sees little prospect of a lowering of the costs of being sick in a modern hospital. He gave the other side of the picture of the doctors' bills today. "We insist on having records of cases now. That means stemogra- phic expense. We demand that all hospitals on our approved list be equipped with X-ray departments. An X-ray runs into thousands of dollars." "You used to have ache and take a pill for it. a tummy Now in a plant that costs $100,000. They use a dozen films that cost the hos. pital $1.50 apiece, to say nothing of the cost of the operation of the machinery. "It is going to keep on getting more expensive to be sick im the modern fashion. But the doctors haven't got an awful lot out of all this increase in charges. "A doctor who makes ten free operations in the city hospital and four private ones outside has got to collect from the four who can pay to make up for what he could- n't get from the 10 who could net pay. Doctors have to live. They have to have automobiles to get around and do their work. a friend, a surgeon of international distinction, who is dying, and he won't leave $25,000 at the end of a career of genius in his profession. "There have been abuses in the medical profession, and patients have been overcharged, but the College of Surgeons has been get- ting after these." The economiec education and scientific aspects of the career of the ambulatory patient without means to pay for treatment were comprehensively presented by Dr. James R. Miller, of Hartford, and illustrated in a paper by Beatrice Kaiser, clinic executive, Harper hospital, Detroit. Migs Kaiser's talk showed the economic aspect in the cave of the ambulatory pa- tient without means, and set forth a practical basis for the carrying Tulips Hogg & Lytle, Lid, 54 Church st, Phone 203 TIME TABLES CPR, TIME T E, New Sched: i Sunday, yi kd shect 1201 om, 5.48 a.m. Daily, Went LOANS .

In jconnection with this, she spoke of the difficulty in trying to determine what some of the applicants should PAY, as honesty is not found among all the patients any more than it is patented by the practicing physi- clans and surgeons. It led to a discussion from the floor, raising such questions as what rating to give a patient who ewer LL 0/4. 043 k HIGH GRADE EQUIP MENT KEPT IN PER FECT CONDITION.

THEIR MAJESTIES * OPEN NEW BRIDGE King George and Queen Mary to Entertain Can- adian Premier Newcastle-on-Tyne, Eng., Oct. 12.--Their Majesties the King and Queen Wednesday broke their I-|iourney frem Balmoral Castle to London to open the new bridge between Newcastle and Gateshead. The main roadway of the bridge is 94 feet above the River Tyne, and the span, which is 531 feet long, is the largest in Great Britain. The King and Queen left Balmor- al last night after seven "Weeks' stay at their Aberdeenshire resi- dence. They will entertain Prem- ier Mackenzie King of Canada at luncheon at Buckingham Palace tomorrow. As Their Majesties have little business in London at the moment, they will leave for Sandringham on Saturday. They will remain at their Norfolk home until the opening of Parliament. on Novem- ber 6. P SHEEP RASINGS BIG INDUSTRY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA Ranges Formerly Devoted to . Beef Cattle Now Devot- ed To Sheep Kamloops, B.C., Oct. 12--One of the most interesting and revolu- tionary changes in British Colum- bia's live stock industry during the past few years has been the growth of sheep-raising. Huge flocks have been driven in from Washington, Oregan and Montana and many of the ranges which years ago were devoted to beef cattle are now aff- ording pasturage for sheep. More than 3600 grade merino sheep are now pgsturing on Hunt- er's range. a huge plateau nine miles from Mara in the Shuswap Lake district. A trail was cut to the plateau this year by the forestry depariment and hereafter sheep will be run there regularly for sum- mer pasture. The range is at an altituted of about 5000 feet and is too high for coyotes to bother the sheep. There are no cougar so high up, and the only enemies the sheep have are the grizzly bears. These only kill when hungry and if their depredations 'are excessive hunters will soon thin their ranks. In driving the sheep up there was some loss at first through snowhbrush, which is a poison plant. In later drives the area where this poison brush grew was not pastur- ed and no sheep were lost. GREATEST PILOT OF LAKES . DIES SUDDENLY IN SAULT Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Oct. 12.-- Captain Joeseph Bouleau, 81, said to be the best pilot the Great Lakes ever produced, is dead in the Mich- igan Soo. He spent over 60 years in active service on the water. He Rouleau, of Quebec. Captain Rou- leau was known in his palmy days as the greatest pilot on the lakes. He piloted the first steam craft that plied St. Mary's River and no man living or dead knew that stream from the Soo to Detour as did Captain Rouleau, the man who once could call every captain on the Great Lakes by his first name. Captain Rouleau in recent years has been making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Edward Browne, at whose home he died. Money to loan at 63% per cemg, first mortgages. J. H.R.
