The mission of the Medical Department can be stated broadly as the maintenance of the health of the Navy and the care of the sick and iniured. The Medical Department aboard the U.S.S. Piedmont, under the capable guidance of Lieutenant R.P. Lucey, Medical Corps, U.S. Naval Reserve, endeavors to fulfill this mission. During the l96O cruise Medical Department personnel treated an average of 350 personnel monthly. The functions of the Medical Department are varied. The Hospital Corpsman may be seen at l8OO spraying for cockroaches on the mess deck and at i900 assisting the Medical Officer in the Operating Room. The facilities available within the Medical Department consist of an X-ray service, laboratory service, sick call service, operating room, patient's ward, administrative and clerical section, and property and accounting section. A typical morning in sick bay sees Sam Bass hunched over his microscope, Flash Pagano trying to find sick call records, Phillips and Jones treating patients in sick call, Milner busy caring for patients on the ward, Schmitt and Payne attempting to keep the supply records out of the red , and McKown looking for Quick. The Medical Department is here as a service to the crew and whether it be the familiar hra h D h Schmitt, L.H. Phillips, G.A P Se, ey oc, ow 'bout a couple APC's , or a call from the OOD for a corpsman on the double , we shall continue to serve you to the best of our ability. Milner, Jones Pagano, P-M
