cdr c. e. rossell, medical department head lcdr w. h. mann, dental officer The Medical Department aboard BREMERTON is comprised of a sick call room, pharmacy and laboratory, operating room, ward, x-ray department, a medical re- cords otfice and medical stores. All these divisions are staffed by Hospital Corps- men trained in their specialties and under the overall supervision of the ship's Medical Officer, CDR C. E. Rossell. The primary mission of H Division is the preparation for the safe and adequate care of battle casualties. The secondary mission, the prevention and treatment of disease, is of equal importance, since in every war in which the United States has engaged more than twice as many casualties have resulted from disease than from direct result of battle. The tooth repair outtit aboard BREMERTON is always busily engaged in keeping everyone's teeth in a good state of repair. Several recent additions have been made to make everyone's visit as comfortable as possible. For instance, there's the new dental chair which was added to take care of the additional requests for treatment. Air-conditioning and the latest in high speed dental equipment have been installed sto provide better dental service and more comfort for the visitors. The Dental Office also features a hi-fi outfit and records to provide a soothing background while in the hot seat. 14 58
