Seven years later, in 1918, came the addition of the $37,- 000-Pediar Surgical Wing. In the early "Twenties" the Oshawa) Hospital's first microscope, gas-| oxygen equipment and high pressure sterilizer were install- ed at the hospital. Later, during the same per- iod, the first X-ray machine was installed at Oshawa Hos- pital. Also in the 'Twenties', came the McLaughlin wing, donated by the brothers, G. W. and R. S McLaughlin, in memory of their father. The fully-equipped wing, which brought Oshawa Hos- pital's bed total to 80 brought with it Oshawa Hospital's recog- nition by the American College of Physicians and Surgeons thereby raising its standard to that of a 'general hospital'. That recognition came in 1923, from which time Oshawa/§ Hospital has been known as) Oshawa General Hospital. In. 1938, a donation by Osh- awa Industrialist, J Albert Sykes made possible the Sykes Wing, which was completed in 1942, the completed cost being $228,000. TWO YEARS AFTER As OGH continued to progress and more and more students were coming here to be in their training as nurses, the need for further residence accommoda- tion for student nurses became. apparent. Realizing this need, Col Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, 1946, donated the McLaughlin Hall nurses' residence, at the time one of the finest of its kind in Canada. Incidently, Mc- Laughlin Hall still is one of the finest student nurses" homes in the country.
