S. Smith, LI In absorbing the pain of the entire ship, the Hospitalmen and Dental Technicians do not seem the worse off for it. The doctor and both dentists are men to whom we gladly entrust our health. The Hospitalmen are con- cerned also with hygiene and sanitation. Should a sailor develop a malady, he goes below to the Sick Bay area at either one of the two sick call periods. The medical facilities are excellent for minor operations and, if necessary, they are adequate for major ones which it may be imperative to perform when no hospital is available. The Dental Technicians are able to take care of us except for the making of dentures. Much the same as with stateside dentists, we are received by appointment and take our seat to await all manner of hardships which never occur. So, in short, we stay clear of Sick Bay as much as possible until our number comes up again, when we thank our lucky stars that such a place exists. 96 Nw
