HOGAN Rear Admiral, MC Surgeon General, U. S. Navy FOREWORD Since the Fourth Regiment, United States Marines, came ashore at North Island in 1914 and then moved with its field hospital to Balboa Park, this area has been the site of continuous naval medical activity. During World War 1, the Camp Hospital served a large training camp, expanding its bed capacity to over 800. This facility was established on a permanent basis on 20 May 1919 as the U. S. Naval Hospital, San Diego, with Captain M. D. Curl, MC, USN, as the first medi- cal officer in command. World War II laid vastly increased demands on the facilities and staff. These were met in an outstanding manner. When the war began, the Hospital was caring for some 1,200 patients, at the time of the greatest patient load, there were 12,014 per- sons under treatment, and between the outbreak of war and V-I Day ap- proximately 175,000 patients were cared for with notable success. The Korean Conflict again de- manded a special effort in order to provide the best of professional medi- cal and dental care to great numbers of the wounded and ill servicemen who were landed on the West Coast. The success with which this was accom- plished contributed to an altogether splendid chapter in the history of the Medical Department of the United States Navy. Beginning in 1928, the Hospital Corps School, by training generations of corpsmen, has contributed enor- mously to patient care in the Navy and Marine Corps. During World War ll, rapid expansion was achieved, until in 1945 alone a total of 14,907 corpsmen were graduated. This helped to make possible the maximum War- time strength of 137,460 attained by the Hospital Corps. Today the School provides both Class A basic training and Class C training in pharmacy technicg in the summer of 1958 there will be added Class B advanced train- ing. Since the construction of the first permanent building on the present site in 1922, the physical facilities of the Hospital have been tremendously improved, culminating in the newly completed 1000-bed surgical wing. This is now our largest naval hospital, and in respect to location, buildings, and equipment is generally regarded as one of the finest in the United States. More important, the quality of professional care is unsurpassed any- where, and fully approved resident and intern training programs are in operation. My congratulations and thanks to all those Medical Department person- nel whose ability and unselfish devo- tion have contributed to the splendid results so far achieved, and my sin- cere good wishes for the future prog- ress of the U. S. Naval Hospital, San Diego, and its Hospital Corps School. 75w-11-.3 B. W. HOGAN Rear Admiral, MC Surgeon General. U. S. Navy CAPTAIN ALLAN S. CHRISMAN, MC, USN Commanding Officer U. S.

Such continuous, and at times stu- pendous strides forward, have been taken in the quality of the medical care provided for personnel of the Navy and Marine Corps as to be almost unbelievable. It is good to note and give thought to just how far we actually have advanced beyond the conditions of ignorance and neglect that were prevalent in the eighteenth century. Then, disease and pestilence were rampant, and a severely wounded sailor had little hope of survival, now, the mor- bidity rate in the Navy has been reduced to the lowest point in history, and in the Korean Conflict the mortality rate for Navy and Marine Corps personnel who had been wounded in combat was only 2.0 per cent, truly an all-time low. The practice of naval medicine in America had its be- ginnings late in 1775, when the first American fleet was placed in commission by acts of the Continental Congress. Physicians originally were selected by commanders of naval vessels to serve on individual voyages, and often were assisted only by the oldest or most incompetent of the seamen on board. Much of the financial reward the Surgeon could ex- pect consisted of a share in such booty as the ship might capture. In 1798, when the Navy Department was established, sur- geons and surgeons' mates were given the status of commis- sioned officers, but then and for the next 44 years there was no medical department, only individual officers who were not organized in any sense. During this period, there was only gradual evolution toward adequate medical support of the Navy. A Marine Hospital Fund, made up of monthly pay- ments from all seamen and later augmented by money from fines and forfeitures, was established to finance hospitals. Most hospitals were in unsatisfactory buildings selected with- out plan, and a major accomplishment of the Fund was mak- ing arrangement for building the first permanent hospital, at Norfolk, Virginia. This hospital began to receive patients in 1830. Other hospitals, financed by regular appropriations, soon followed-in Philadelphia in 1833, in Boston in 1836, and Brooklyn in 1838. Throughout this first portion of the nineteenth century, a number of able and energetic physicians fought for a well- organized and adequately-equipped medical department. Their efforts resulted in considerable improvement in the quality of professional personnel, in medical equipment and supplies, and in quarters for the sick on board ships and at hospitals ashore. Notable among these men were Edward Cutbush, Usher Parson, Lewis Heerman, and William P. C. Barton. Doctor Barton, in particular, made numerous contributions that had a great and lasting- effect in improving medical care. He was an early advocate of increasing the space as- signed as a sick bay on board ship, and of standardizing equipment and supplies for the medical departments of ships. He also was responsible for establishing a medical library in each naval medical unit and for instituting a medical journal on each patient, however, his proposal for utilizing female nurses in hospitals went unheeded for two generations. Perhaps his greatest contribution was in writing his Treatise Containing A Plan for the Internal Organization and Government of Marine CNavyJ Hospitals. Certainly this classified treatise and his continuous efforts had much to do with the establishment in 1842 of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, which was created to supervise naval medical affairs along the lines he had proposed. Most appropriately, he was named the first Chief of Bureau. fThe title of Surgeon General was not created until 1871 and was first held by William M. Wood, the fifth Chief of Bureauj From its inception, the new Bureau made notable progress in organizing, developing, and perfecting naval medicine. Fascinating accounts of many aspects of this progress can be found in the reports to the Secretary of the Navy made each year since Civil War times by the Chief of Bureau or, after 1871, by the Surgeon General. This unbroken series of annual reports has been of great value to students of preventive medicine, vital statisticians, and public health authorities, in determining trends of morbidity and mortality rates. One development that had an early beginning-the estab- lishing of hospitals in ships-conferred mobility on definitive medical and surgical care, making it possible to furnish such care wherever on the seven seas it might be needed. The best-known hospital ship employed during the Civil War, the Red Rover, was a Mississippi sidewheeler cap- tured from Confederate forces and converted for use as a hospital under the command of Surgeon Ninian Pinkney. The staff included the first female nurses of whom there is any record in the Navy. They were Nursing Sisters who volunteered only for service during the war. Other hospital ships followedg of these the USS Solace, converted to hospital use in 1898 during the Spanish- American War, was the first of our naval vessels to fly the Geneva Red Cross flag. A long controversy over whether -a medical or a line officer should command such a ship finally ended in placing a line officer in command of the ship proper, with a medical officer in command of the hospital within the ship and of all professional medical matters. During World War 1 and World War ll, more and more advanced hospital ships were developed, particularly those few that were built from the keel up for this purpose. Near the close of the latter war, some 12 hospital ships were in operation by the Navy, those of the Haven class being of advanced design. Still greater effectiveness was achieved during the Korean Conflict by the addition of landing platforms for helicopters so that casualties wounded in battle could be flown in a matter of minutes from close behind the front line to the safety and expert care available on the ship. Such atraumatic and expeditious handling saved many lives. Other early developments of great value were instituted by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. A book of Instruction for Medical Officers, now known as the Manual of the Medical Department, was first published in 1886. A Naval Medical School was established by Surgeon General Presley M. Rixey in 1902 for post graduate instruction of newly appointed medical officers in special aspects of naval medi- cine. Annual physical examinations of naval personnel were begun in 1909. To provide information on current progress in professional matters to Medical Department personnel, wherever they might be, publication of the U. S. Naval Medical Bulletin was inaugurated in 1907. The Bulletin with its successor, the U. S. Armed Forces Medical Journal, have been published continuously to the present day. A supple- mentary Hospital Corps Quarterly, now the Medical Tech- nicians Bulletin, was provided for non-professional Medical Department personnel. It is especially enlightening to consider the changes that have taken place over the years in the status of various com- ponent groups having a part in naval medicine. The term, "Medical Corps," was first employed in an appropriation act of 1871. Thereafter medical officers were listed as mem bers of the staff corps of the Navy. Their grades were Medi- cal Director, Medical Inspector, Surgeon, Passed Assistant Surgeon, and Assistant Surgeon, with ranks of Captain, Commander, Lieutenant Commander, Lieutenant, and Master flater changed to Lieutenant, junior gradej. Since 1918, medical officers have held the regular military titles of their rank. Prior to 1898, enlisted assistants to medical officers were known successively as loblolly boys, surgeons' stewards, apothecaries, nurses, and baymen. In that year the Hospital Corps was established by legislation, which specified quali- fications and duties. The 60 years that have elapsed since then have seen the Hospital Corps demonstrate increasingly high morale and technical competence based both on the fine quality of personnel assigned to the Corps and the careful training afforded each member. The Navy Nurse Corps was established without commis- sioned rank in 1908, and women nurses thereafter served ably in many shore-based hospitals and on hospital ships. In World War I1 over 11,000 nurses were in service. An act of 1947 made members of the Nurse Corps permanently commissioned staff officers with rank, pay, and allowances equal to those of other staff officers up to and including Captain. Officers of the Nurse Corps have performed in- valuable service in field medical units in Japan and Korea, in troop air transports, on hospital and sea transport ships, and in all shore-based hospitals. The Dental Corps was established in 1912, and dental offi- cers served with distinction in both world Wars and in Korea. Over 7,000 were in service during World War II. In 1945 an organizational change in the Bureau assigned to dental offi- cers the technical control of dental activities' ashore and afloat. The Medical Service Corps was established in 1947, giving commissioned rank to administrative specialists and men trained in such fields as pharmacy, optometry, psychology, bacteriology, and other sciences related to medicine. 'Officers of the Medical Service Corps, with ranks up to and including Captain, have been of immeasurable assistance to medical and dental officers by absorbing much of the administrative workload and serving as specialists in various sciences. During the present century, training and technical educa- tion have expanded continuously, in step with growing specialization, increasing complexity of the medical sciences, and enlarging scope of Medical Department operation. In 1902 there was established, in addition to the Naval Medical School, the first school for training hospital corpsmen. This X N was at Norfolk, Virginia, other schools were established later at Great Lakes, Illinois, Bainbridge, Maryland, and San Diego, California. In 1922, the Naval Dental School was inaugurated for postgraduate training of dental officers. In 1939, the Naval School of Aviation Medicine was set up at Pensacola, Florida, in 1942 the Naval School of Hospital Administration was started at Bethesda, Maryland, and in 1951 Field Medical Service Schools were commissioned at Camp Pendleton and Camp Lejeune. The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery observed its 116th anniversary on 31 August 1958. It is the only Navy bureau still retaining its original name as established by Congress in 1842, but only since 1942 has it occupied the present 'quarters in the group of buildings around the old Naval Observatory. Its more recent accomplishments, and those of the devoted officers and men who constitute the Medical Department of the United States Navy, have been so many and varied that they cannot even be mentioned in this short historical sketch. Suffice it to say that naval medicine has made tremendous progress since 1775, and that in recent years this progress has been accelerated enormously. Today, the quality of professional care furnished to Navy and Marine Corps personnel is outstanding and second to none. MODERN SURGERY U. S. NAVAL HOSPITAL, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA MISSION The primary mission of this Hospital is to provide general clinical, hospitalization and dental services to military per- sonnel of shore activities and fleet units with the object of their expeditious return to duty and the prompt disposition of those patients who require special treatment not satis- factorily available or who are found physically unfit for re- tention in the military service. The secondary mission of this hospital includes the in- struction of Medical Department personnel, including intern and resident training, the care and treatment of authorized nonmilitary patients, research in authorized medical and related projects, and cooperation with military and civil authorities in matters pertaining to health and sanitation and in the event of local disasters or emergencies. HISTORY On 20 May 1958, the Hospital completed its thirty-ninth year of rendering aid to military personnel and their de- pendents. Today, this institution stands as a monument to the progress of the Navy and is a picturesque landmark in the State of California. A historical account of the present hospital would not be complete without a brief statement of facts of its founders and forerunners. Returning from Mexican waters in the Summer of 1914, the Fourth Regiment of the U. S. Marine Corps landed and established a base on North Island and in so doing gave being to the San Diego area as a great naval center. Lieutenant Commander U. R. Webb, who 17 years later became Medical Officer in Command of the Hospital, was the Senior Medical Officer attached to the Fourth Regi- ment. During the latter half of 1914, the Fourth Regiment, .along with its field hospital, was moved to Balboa Park as an exhibit in the Panama-California Exposition and remained there until the exposition closed in the Spring of 1917. With the advent of World War I, officials of the City of San Diego and the Navy Department realized the opportuni- ties afforded by the Balboa Park Exposition Grounds for use as a naval training center and on 20 May 1917, the Center was officially established. The medical segment of the Naval Training Center was housed in the Headquarters Building of the Park Police. This building, then named the '4War Dispensaryf' provided space for the medical administrative unit and two wards of 25 beds each. As the training center grew, the War Dis- pensary expanded so rapidly that tent camps had to be set up to accommodate the sick and injured personnel. By the end of the war the "tent city,' had reached an 800 patient capacity. Commander Ammen Farenholt, who later retired in the rank of Rear Admiral, was the first senior Medical Officer of the War Dispensary. It was through Admiral Farenholt's hobby of collecting war relics that various familiar land- marks located at the hospital today were acquired. Two naval cannons used by the U. S. Marines during the Mexican War, SICK CALL: War Dispensary, Tent City, 1917 a sundial and plaques at the main gate, lower gate and above the entrance of the Administration Building were donated by the Admiral. During the course of World War I, Navy Officials realized that San Diego would be an ideal location for a permanent air station, Marine Corps base, naval training station and a naval hospital large enough in size and facilities to serve the military personnel. On 20 May 1919, the Secretary of the Navy changed the title of the War Dispensary to the desig- nation of Naval Hospital and ordered plans for the con- struction of a permanent hospital. Inspiration Point was offered the Navy by San Diego for the hospital site. It was a tract of land worthy of the name Inspiration Point, for it comprises a hilltop of 92.66 acres and offers a beautiful view of Balboa Park and picturesque San Diego Bay. The contract for the construction of the first buildings was drawn in October 1920. It called for a central administration building flanked by three wards on each side. Rear Admiral Edward R. Stitt, Surgeon General of the Navy, was responsible for the early planning of the hospital. The street running in front of the three original buildings was named Stitt Avenue in honor of the man who had so much to do with the structural planning. The con- struction also included four other buildings, among them the Surgical Suite and Mess Hall. The hospital was built at a cost of 31,103,321. The work was accomplished and the establishment placed in commission on 22 August 1922. The equipment from the War Dispensary was moved to the present Hospital location. Captain F. W. F. Weiber, second commanding officer of the hospital, then instituted the landscaping of the grounds. William H. Crofts, an English ORIGINAL MEDICAL DISPENSARY, 1917 gardener who had established a reputation as a master gar- dener during 10 years' service on the estate of the Duke of Norfolk in Sheffield, England, and who had 10 years' experi- ence in America, was hired as Head Gardener. The results of Crofts, work was a display which brought much praise from people who appreciated the wonderful symmetry and design. The landscaping of the grounds lives on as a tribute to the workers who made the hospital grounds the most beautiful in the State of California. The first buildings provided bed space for less than 300 patients while the daily census of patients in 1923 was 400. Tents, erected in what is now the main patio, provided for the overflow. At that time three additional buildings were under construction. These buildings were completed in 1924- at a cost of approximately 3500,000 and added a medical and surgical department of three wards with 172 beds each. This brought the hospitalis total bed capacity up to 618. The third building was a service building which housed the shops, laundry and garage. The Fleet concentration in the Pacific and the growth of naval shore activities increased so that in 1925 the bed capacity of the hospital was once again inadequate. Captain Raymond Spear, then Medical Officer in Command, recom- mended the construction of four new buildings which in- cluded North wards, a laboratory department, an X-ray de- partment, a nurses' quarters and an incinerator building. Completion of these buildings brought the number of avail- able beds up to 882, but another shortage occurred in 1928. The fourth contract provided for a contagion ward at the south end ofthe patio, a Hospital Corps School and a Morgue. The entire compound in 1928 represented an investment 5' qi E5 alll Bl I5 Hill il is .yggggl ll as ll ORIGINAL SURGERY BUILDING, 1917 of 353,500,000 ln addition, a 347,000 recreation hall had been donated by the Red Cross in 1922. In 1929, a 3250,000 contract provided a sick officers' quarters at the north end of the grounds and four officers' quarters at the south end of the compound. This brought the bed capacity up to 1035. At the beginning of World War II, the Hospital consisted of 56 buildings with an authorized bed capacity of 1,424. By the end of the war, the command had so expanded that it was divided into six units. These units were composed of a total of 241 buildings on a combined area of 247 acres with an authorized bed capacity of 10,499. Unit One consisted of the buildings on the Reservation. Unit Two consisted of 33 acres and 25 exposition buildings in Balboa Park which were taken over by the Navy in 1941. This unit also had a "city'7 of 239 tents. Unit Three, Camp Kidd, was transferred to the Hospital in 1944 and became the Hospital Corps School. It was made up of 33 converted Army barracks in the central section of Balboa Park. Unit Four was made up of 28 Army barracks in the southwestern section of the park. Unit Five was composed of 11 buildings used for storage for the crew and patients. Unit Six consisted of the convalescent branch of the hospital at Rancho Santa Fe, located 30 miles from the main Hospital. At the outbreak of the war in 1941 the Hospital was car- ing for approximately 1,200 patients with 728 staff mem- bers on duty. The staff consisted of 93 medical officers, 82 nurses and 518 enlisted corpsmen. ln August 1945, the last month of the war, the Hospital cared for an average of 8,096 patients. During this period - World War 11 - ap- proximately 172,000 patients were treated, the peak having been reached on 27 December 1944, when the patient census soared to an all-time high of more than 12,000. When the war terminated, the six additional hospital units were disestablished and the Balboa Park properties were returned to the City of San Diego. In the era following the end of Vlforld War II the program of expansion was once more undertaken. In 1946, a Residency Training Program was established for the training of medical officers in the various specialties. This program has continued to the present time and has been continuously supported by an additional staff of outstanding civilian medical specialists in the area who serve as con- sultants. In 1947, a new nurses, quarters was completed with ac- commodations for 88 nurses. At the outbreak of the Korean Conflict, the Hospital had added a new animal house, a large parking shed, a maintenance service building which housed a machine shop and key shop, a lubrication hoist, a paint and spray booth and a smaller parking shed. During the Korean Conflict the Hospital once again lived up to its slogan, 4'lVlen as Well as ships need a haven for Captain Chrisman cuts ribbon at dedi- cation of Surgical Building 26, May, 1957, as Rear Admiral Hogan looks on. repair," as is evidenced by some 90,000 patients being treated from the beginning of the conflict until the truce was signed on 26 Iuly 1953. In 1952, the Sick Officers' Quarters were expanded and the Navy Exchange Restaurant was enlarged. The Spring of 1955 saw the completion of the Transportation Building at the south end of the compound. At this time Transportation vacated the basement of Building 11 and a laundry and uniform and tailor shop moved in. Iune of 1954 marked the beginning of construction of the new surgical building which was commissioned 15 May 1957, at a cost of approxi- mately 357,300,000 The U. S. Naval Hospital, San Diego, is one of the largest military hospitals in the world, maintaining a staff of ap- proximately 450 officers, 700 enlisted personnel and 700 civilian personnel. The Hospital has often been spoken of as one of the finest hospitals, civilian or military, in the United States. It is a specialized treatment center for on- cology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, thoracic and cardio- vascular surgery, tuberculosis and acrylic ocular prosthesis. As an outstanding citadel of mercy, the Hospital has been a leader in the field of medicine and has kept up with the highest traditions of the Naval Service as well as the tradi- tions of the medical profession. Now, in this, the Hospital's 39th year, the personnel and the institution rededicate themselves to keep alive in the future the slogan, "Men as well as ships need a haven for repairn . . . a symbol to be carried throughout the years in the march toward greater heights as a leader in the Navy and in the field of medicine. The Hospital is commanded by Captain A. S. Chrisman, Medical Corps, U. S. Navy. Former Commanding officers were: WAR PERIOD DISPENSARY COMDR. AMMEN FARENHOLT Iune 1917 to Ian 1918 LIEUT. COMDR. W. H.

As we stroll through the beautiful grounds of the hospital, admire the floral displays, the quiet patios and well-kept grounds, it seems incredible to think that only 37 years ago only 7 buildings were standing. The most recently con- structed one was the Red Cross Building, built and donated to the Navy by the organization. Looking at the intense activity on all sides today, it is hard to believe that in the Red Cross Building in 1920, all activities took place. It housed the library and Red Cross offices as it does todayg the Chaplains, offices, Special Services, tailor shop and library all had their headquarters here also. The Field Di- rector, Mrs. Nelle Boud, who held this position for 25 years, was.a familiar sight as she drove to serve the ships in the bay in her Model-T Ford. Today all is changed. The hospital, composed of many buildings, reflects the expanded services of all its branches. Following the pattern, Red Cross, to meet the needs, en- larged and grew. For better administration the activities of hospital Red Cross are divided into recreation and social service. The social service program includes both Red Cross and Civil Service social workers. These people have definite ward assignments and give casework service to hospitalized serv- icemen, duty personnel and to dependents, both inpatients and outpatients. One of the chief objectives of social service is to work with the hospital team in contributing to the patient's restora- tion to health and to his best possible personal and social adjustment. Together with this, Red Cross is obligated by Congressional Charter "to serve as a medium of communication between the people of the United States and the Armed Forcesf' This implies certain responsibilities and covers the broad area of communications, counselling, financial assistance and per- sonal services. The purpose of Red Cross recreation is to provide a medically approved recreation program which is adapted to the interests of the patients. This program on the wards carries out individualized recreation for patients which in- cludes parties, assisting with hobbies, teaching crafts, pro- viding movies, etc. In the Red Cross Lounge special recreation events are planned. Volunteers work extensively in both Red Cross social service and recreation, and include such services as Canteen, Gray Ladies, Motor Service and Nurses Aides. 0 .

The Department also has supervision and is responsible for the Anesthesiology Section, Oxygen Therapy, Central Sterile Supplies, the Op- erating Room Suites, Receiving Ward, Recovery Room, and the Tumor Board. The Department is under the direct guidance of the Chief of Surgery. The hospital has been designated by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery as a center for Cardio-vascular, Plastic Surgery, Oncological, and Neurosurgery. Consequent- ly, there is a large variety of all types of surgical problems seen in the Department daily. The Surgical Department is housed in the new modern building, consisting of a thousand beds, accommodating patients in all the surgical specialties. Each Service has open wards and private rooms. There is an adequate number of offices, dressing rooms, and treatment rooms located on each ward. There are 572 beds assigned to care of General Surgical patients. Within the building, there are also the operating rooms, consisting of twelve operating suites, six anesthesia induc- tion rooms, Cardio-Pulmonary Function Laboratory, a Tis- sue Bank, auxiliary X-ray facilities, observation rooms for monitoring instruments used during special types of surgery, Recovery Ward, Lecture Room, television viewing space, Morgue, Dictation Room, Receiving Ward, Central Issue Room for sterile supplies, sleeping spaces for doctors on watch, and dining spaces. A well-equipped Animal Research Laboratory is available in another building, and all residents spend a part of their training in this section. There is a well-equipped and cen- tralized Medical Library in which all up-to-date surgical literature is available. The Chiefs of Services and Heads of Departments are, for the most part, Diplomates of their Specialty Boards. In addi- tion, the Department has a number of well-known consultants who are leaders in their particular surgical specialty. The consultants are present for the following Departments: Gen- CAPTAIN JOSEPH M. HANNER, MC, USN Chief, Surgical Service eral Surgery, Anatomy, Oncology, Thoracic Surgery, Anesth- esiology, and Neurosurgery. The general function of the Surgical Service is to provide inpatient surgery and treatment for active service person- nel, veterans, dependents, retired personnel and, when re- quired, civilian humanitarian cases. In addition, consultants are provided for all departments of the hospital, as well as a number of Outpatient Clinics. Other responsibilities of the Department include the control and issue of supplies from the Central Issue Section, Oxygen Therapy, administration of the Receiving Ward, Training Program, Tumor Board, and Anesthesiology for all patients. The Thoracic Surgery Department consists of 48 beds, of which 14 are in private rooms. Patients cared for on the Thoracic Service include officers, enlisted personnel, vet- erans, retired individuals, and dependent females and children. The Department is assigned two operating rooms in the main operating suite. These two rooms are especially de- signed and equipped with special devices necessary to chest surgery. ln addition, there is a large space adjacent to these two rooms which is equipped with monitoring devices perti- nent to pulmonary and cardiac surgery. Also, a fully equipped Cardio-pulmonary Function Laboratory and Tissue Bank are CAPTAIN HANNER Conducts Surgical Conference-Front row: Captain John W. Koettg Herbert W. Meyer, MDg Captain Victor C.

An Animal Laboratory is available where research problems are conducted. Emphasis is placed on a Heart-Lung Apparatus which is used in the cardiac surgery section. The pump oxygenator has created a number of research problems which are perti- nent to the department, and are important in future control of cardiac surgery. As a center for pulmonary and cardiac surgery, major clinical problems in pulmonary and cardiac pathology are referred here from various areas in the United States and the world. The Plastic Surgery Department consists of 40 beds. The Department has excellent facilities to diagnose and treat all types of Plastic Surgery cases of male enlisted personnel. Separate facilities are available for hospitalization of pediat- ric, female, and officer personnel cases. Surgical procedures are carried out in the main operating suite four days a week, with an average of 75 to 80 operations per month. Minor surgical procedures are scheduled twice weekly and are carried out in the treatment room on the Plastic Surgery ward. The Outpatient Clinic consultations are held twice weekly and average approximately 100 to 110 patients monthly. The Neurosurgery Department consists of 88 beds in ward spaces and 16 beds in private rooms. The Department is well- equipped and has facilities for all types of neurosurgical cases. Full equipment is present for all diagnostic procedures relative to neurosurgical problems. As the hospital is a center for Neurosurgery, many cases are transferred here from nearby and far activities which provides the Service with a large variety of all types of cases. Many clinical research problems result from such a large variety of cases, hence, several hours weekly are devoted by the staff in the Animal Research Laboratory. The Training Program includes training of the interns on a rotational pattern, and an organized program for a four year residency, The Surgical Service for the interns includes sixteen weeks, in which the individual has experience and training in Urology, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology, Otolaryn- gology, but the major emphasis is placed upon General Sur- gery. lt is desired that the individual learn sufficient surgi- cal technique to enable him to successfully cope with common emergencies. The intern training includes instruction and experience in Anesthesiology. SECRETARIAL GROUP: Shirley F. Johnsong Rita A. Laferriereg Ar delle M. Petter Csupervisorlg Aileen M. Eaton. , 39 The objective in the Residency Training Program is to develop medical officers in the field of General Surgery so that they may be capable of performing adequate surgical treatments when necessary in any future duty assignments. In addition, it is the purpose of the Department to prepare and train candidates for examinations for certification by the American Board of Surgery, and for membership in the American College of Surgeons. The program has been ap- proved by the American Board of Surgery, and it fulfills all requirements for certification. The Teaching Program centers around the Ward Medical Officer, who is under the direct supervision of the Chief of Surgery. The Training Program of each resident conforms to the requirements of various specialty Boards, the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals, the American Medical As- sociation, and the American College of Surgeons. The resi- dents are rotated every three months, during the four year program, to provide full participation infall surgical depart- ments in related activities. Basic Science lectures and labora- tory work are given as fundamental in General Surgery. In each branch of the Department training is given in sur- gical diagnostic procedures, pre- and post-operative care, and operative techniques. When the resident is deemed capable, he is allowed to perform surgical procedures com- mensurate with his skill and experience, under the supervision and with the assistance of a trained surgeon. The plan is for the work and responsibility of the resident in each succeed- ing year to correlate with that of the preceding year, and for the nature of the work to be of progressive character and type. All residents attend organized conferences and clinics. Clinics held weekly include Tumor Boards, General Surgi- cal Conference, Basic Science Lectures, Clinical Pathological Conferences, Staff Meetings, Gastrointestinal Conferences, and Surgical Grand Rounds. Each resident, when reporting to duty, is encouraged as soon as possible to select a topic for research, which may be clinical, or one that is conducted in the Animal Laboratory. The results of the research are usually presented in a written thesis which, in most cases, is published, and presented to local and national surgical organizations.

I The Medical Service is composed of wards and clinics in which patients with general medical diseases are cared for. These diseases, broadly speaking, are those in which no sur- gical treatment is indicated. lncluded are pneumonia, the contagious diseases, leukemias, kidney diseases, ulcers, heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. There is one ward set aside for the care of women with these diseases. Approxi- mately 25 per cent of the patients hospitalized are cared for by this service. Among the specialized branches of the Medical Service are the Cardio-Vascular Service and the Allergy Service. Under Cardio-Vascular is the Heart Station located on the 4th deck of Building 9. Here, all outpatients and inpatients with cardiac disease or hypertension are studied. Diagnosis is established and recommendations as to treatment made, to be carried out by the referring physician, or by the members of the Heart Station itself. lt is in this station that the electro- cardiograms for the entire hospital are performed. At the present time, approximately 1700 electrocardiograms are per- formed by the Heart Station per month. The Cardio-Pulmonary Function Laboratory is equipped to measure the breathing function of patients referred for such examination. In addition, this laboratory performs the cardiac catheterizations for the entire hospital. At the pres- CAPTAIN JOHN E. GORMAN, MC, USN Chief Medical Service ent time, one to two cardiac catheterizations are performed each week. It is by means of these catheterizations that diag- nostic studies are performed to allow diagnosis of various cardiac disabilities, and determinations made as to the ad- visability of surgery in these cardiac cases. The Allergy Service sees approximately 765 patients each month. The Service performs tests for the diagnosis of vari- ous allergies, and upon the establishment of the diagnosis as to the causative agents of various allergic diseases, manu- factures extracts and administers them to patients. The Endocrinology and Radioactive Isotope Laboratory supervises the treatment of patients with diseases of the en- docrine glands. This includes patients with thyroid disease, disorders of the adrenal glands, and patients with pituitary abnormalities. In addition to the care of these patients, this Laboratory supervises the administration of radioactive iso- topes for the diagnosis and treatment of various disorders. The chief radioactive isotopes in use at the present time are. Iodine 131, Phosphorus CP-321, Gold QAU-1981, Iron fFe- 59J, Radium fRa-2261, Chromium fCr-513, Yettrium KY-901, Cobalt CCO-605.

It is divided into a Clinical Branch and an Instruction Branch. The Clinical Branch is required to staff and equip facili ties to manage inpatients with any type of urology disorder, it manages an outpatient clinic, and provides consultation service for other Services in the Hospital. The branch also maintains cystoscopic examining rooms and radiographic facilities for diagnosis and treatment of urological disorders. It also staffs and equips a room in the main operating suite where all types of urological surgery are handled. The Instruction Branch provides a training program for residents. This Branch maintains a liaison with civilian consultants and other urologists, and provides instruction and practical experience in urology for internes. The residency program consists of one year in general surgery and three years of urology proper. An additional two years of full-time practice in urology must be completed be- fore a candidate may apply for the American Board of Urology examination. Urology technicians are essential to a proper functioning service. They perform many extremely important tasks such as taking X-rays, developing film, setting up the operating and cystoscopic rooms, assisting in surgery and performing laboratory tests. They contribute greatly to the success of the service. Their period of training is six months, and those ,a. Wisr:-i-1-ffr1:rM.ei,.sc.eezrl,a,,, .,,. an , CAPTAIN JAMES R. DILLON, JR., MC, USN Chief, Urology Service that pass all examinations are designated as URT's. The Urology service is the largest military or federal urology unit. It is an excellent teaching facility because of the large source of patients in the two age groups requiring most care, namely, the retired population, the Naval Train- ing Center and Marine Corps Recruit Depot. Some of the figures showing the volume of work ac- complished during the last year are as follows: Hospital admissions .................. .. ...,.. 1,404 Average daily patient census ....... .. 72 Major operations ................,.. 377 Minor operations .,.......................... ...,. ..,. 4 , 144 Intravenous pyelograms performed .,.... ...... . 2,521 Cystoscopies ..................................... ,....... 1 ,466 Outpatient consultation ................,.....,,. ..........,.,, 7,219 The Urology staff and patients are greatly indebted to the very capable service rendered by the members of the Nurs- ing Corps on duty in the clinic and the wards. A great many of the urology patients are elderly, requiring a large amount of extra nursing care. The patients are given everything pos- sible to facilitate their comfort and recovery.

Naval Hospital, San Diego, California, became a separate and dis- tinct Service, the Chief of the Service reporting directly to the Executive Officer and the Commanding Officer of the hospital. The Service is divided into three Branches, Psychiatry, Neurology and Clinical Psychology. Throughout the many years that the Service has been in existence, the physical facilities for the housing of the patients have been scattered over the Compound and the services provided have been varied. This was dependent upon the rise and fall in the patient census during the two major armed conflicts of recent years. It was not until January, 1958, that the Neuropsychiatric Service was able to be housed under one roof, the 36 Building at the south end of the beautiful lower patio. This move of the scattered facilities into the building brought about a centralization of the Neuropsychiatric ad- ministrative offices, an admission ward, the closed wards, the Neurology Clinic and wards, the Electroencephalography section, the convalescent and rehabilitation psychiatric wards, the offices of Clinical Psychology, and also made possible space for occupational therapy in the building, as well as a conference and study room for the Neuropsychiatric profes- The Neuropsychiatric Service at this hospital is charged with providing a diagnostic and testing service, the care, cus- tody, treatment and disposition of patients with mental or emotional disorders and nervous system diseases. The Psychiatric Branch of the Service specifically provides observation, care and treatment of mental and emotional dis- orders, including the functional and organic psychoses, the psychoneuroses, the character and behavior patterns, dis- orders of intelligence and transient personality disorders. An open admission ward, as well as a maximum security psy- chiatric ward are maintained for observation, care and treat- ment of all patients admitted with a psychiatric diagnosis. A graduated open ward environment and a rehabilitation pro- gram are maintained for patients recovering from acute psychiatric disorders. Patients who are in need of prolonged specialized treatment are transferred to the designated Spe- cial Psychiatric Treatment Centers. The records of patients not being returned to duty are processed to appear before an appropriate Medical Board with the proper recommended disposition. A Neuropsychiatric Record Office is maintained for preparation of medical rec- ords and the necessary reports. sional staff. Captain Robert L. Wagner, MC, USN, dictating to Miss Gladyce England fSecreta1'yl. CAPTAIN ROBERT L. WAGNER, MC, USN Chief, Neuropsychiatry Service 6 l The Neurological Branch provides diagnoses, observation and treatment for all patients with organic diseases of the nervous system other than those considered Neurosurgical or Medical, and the Clinical Psychology Branch administers, interprets and reports the psychological tests for diagnostic purposes. The Electroencephalography Laboratory is a function of the Neurology Branch and is supervised by the Head of Neurology. An Electroencephalography School is operated for the instruction of technicians in this specialized field, and graduates such technicians every four months. The rehabilitation program for the patients admitted to the Neuropsychiatric Service makes full use of many of the facilities available on the Compound. One such is the Occu- pational Therapy Department, whose technicians visit and bring to the Neuropsychiatric wards a stimulating variety of crafts. The recreation program is pushed to the maximum with the arts and crafts, movies, television, music, games, and specially arranged entertainment programs by volunteer or- ganizations. The physical education facilities are provided by Special Services of the hospital and include touch football, swimming and bowling. There has been a steady and progressive move toward the establishment of the newer concepts in psychiatric therapies. ts z ..- Q, LT, ' . . , 4' I f- il, K e.e. f ' A , 'af H , 2 Y 1 5 f . - Q. .,.

OTORHI OLARYNGOLOGY ERVICE The Department of Otolaryngology at this hospital con- ducts a large outpatient clinic f14,000 visits annuallyj maintains a 50-bed ward for enlisted active duty and retired inpatients, has available beds for officer personnel fin S.0.Q.J and for dependent patient personnel fwomen's Ward and Pediatric wardj. It occupies a modern, Well-equipped, three operating room surgical suite including a complete endoscopic set-up for bronchoesophagology and operating microscope for otologic surgery. Provision is made for the specialized care of diseases, dis- orders and injuries of the ear, nose, and throat, with surgery being performed as indicated. Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures such as larynogoscopy, bronchoscopy, and esophagoscopy are conducted as requested. In addition to routine surgery such as tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, spetec- tomy, sinustotomy, and mastoidectomy such procedures as rhinoplasty, otoplasty, stapes mobilization, fenestration, thy- rotomy, tracheotomy, laryngectomy, and radical sinus surgery are performed. At this time the personnel includes the chief of the de- partment fAmerican Board of Otolaryngology diplomate and ACS memberl, one resident at third year level, one at second year level and one at first year level. At frequent but irregular intervals an intern is assigned to the department for one month upon his selecting otolaryngology as an elec- tive. General practice residents occasionally are with the service for a three month period. In the outpatient clinic 60 per cent of the visits are made by dependent personnel, 9 per cent by retired personnel and veteran administration beneficiaries and 31 per cent by active duty personnel of the armed forces. Audiometric evaluations of hearing loss as part of physical examinations and otolgic diagnosis average 360 monthly. For the calendar year 1957 a total of 2,069 major opera- tions and 1,644 minor operations were performed. Residency training in Otolarynology at this hospital is set up to meet the requirements pf the council on medical edu- cation and hospitals, the American College of Surgeons, and CAPTAIN LeROY E. WIBLE, MC, USN Chief, Otorhinolaryngology Service the American Board of Otolaryngology. The residency embraces three years of progressive train- ing in the specialty and is preceded by one year of rotating internship. The residents are offered a board training which includes some experience in closely related fields of surgery. Adequate clinical and operative experience is provided. Essen- tial equipment for diagnosis and treatment is available. The clinical material is abundant and adequate to provide train- ing in the various divisions of the specialty including broncho-esophagology, allergy, anesthesiology and maxillo- facial surgery. The training includes a systemic course of instruction with demonstrations on clinical and technical subjects pertinent to various phases of otolaryngology. Surgical technique is taught to the extent that residents will be able to undertake operative Work on their own respon- sibility in their second and third year. Training is available in the applied anatomy of the ear, nose, throat, neck and chest. Frequent departmental conferences including a detailed dis- cussion of difficult cases are held. Clinical pathology con- ferences are attended by the residents bi-monthly. The resi- dents study and discuss with the pathologist tissues removed at operation-and autopsy material from patients on the service. The designated Chief of Service is responsible for the quality of all work done in the department and his assignment is not rotated or honorary. He is available full time. The hospital provides an adequate number and variety of surgical patients.

It is headed by the Chief of the Dental Service who is a board-certified oral surgeon with teaching experience. The officer-staff comprises an allowance of eight dental officers, all of whom are experienced, regular Navy, career dentists. The enlisted-staff includes a chief petty officer and a crew of fifteen trained dental technicians. Four members of this crew are qualified as dental prosthetic technicians, and they are the skilled laboratory technicians who fabricate varied types of dental appliances. All phases of dentistry excepting orthodontia fustraighten- ing of teethwl are practiced in the Dental Service. Teeth are filled when required with precious metals, semi-precious metals, or plastic materials as best indicated to meet the individual need. Hopelessly degenerated teeth are removed under local or general anesthesia. Missing teeth are replaced by bridgework, partial dentures or full dentures. All dental technicians receive particular instruction in providing oral prophylaxis fucleaning teethvj. This service is given by the dental technician under the supervision of the doctor. ln addition to assisting the doctor during dental operation, dental technicians take X-ray exposures and process the films for the doctor,s examination. One of the busy branches of the Dental Service in a large hospital, like this, is oral surgery. This department provides for the extraction of teeth and for the surgical care of varied diseases of the mouth. Also, a large number of fractured jaw- bones are treated here over a year's time. It is not unusual to see from 20 to 25 fractured jaw cases in the dental Ward at all times. Specialists with particular training in oral surgery are assigned to this department. The major objective of dentistry is to salvage teeth. Some- times this is done by simply filling a tooth after all of the decay has been thoroughly removed. But at other times, when dental decay is markedly advanced, it may be necessary to devitalize the tooth Curemove the nervewl in order to save the tooth before filling it. Salvaging such "dead teethv for Q. CAPTAIN THEODORE A. LESNEY, DC, USN Chief, Dental Service many years of normal usage is a specialty of dentistry known as Endodontics. Since some teeth are lost from diseases involving the gum tissues, rather than from decay, specialized care is required in efforts at saving such teeth. This specialty within dentistry is called Periodontia, and the periodontist treats upyorrheav and such other dental diseases as cause teeth to become loose. Hackneyed expressions like 'fthe teeth are OK but the gums have gotta gofi are not wholly without truth. Often- times, the periodontist does find it necessary to remove chronically diseased gum tissue in order to prevent the loss of bone that holds the teeth firmly in place. Most human beings lose some or many of their teeth throughout a lifetime. If only a few teeth are lost, it may be possible to span such a space with a dental Hbridgef' Dental bridgework is time consuming and it is an exact technical science. lf several, but not all, teeth are lost, it may be possible to replace the missing teeth with partial dentures. Such ap- pliances are remarkably comfortable and are retained in position through clasps that engage some of the remaining sound and functional teeth. Of course, when all of the teeth have been lost, the patient requires full dentures. Modern techniques in this field permit the fabrication of natural-looking dentures with a great de- gree of masticating efficiency. Sometimes, one of the Iront false teeth in an artificial denture is intentionally stained, or a gold filling may be placed in it, so as to resemble one of the patient's natural teeth, and thereby retain the "natural" appearance of the artificial denture. The prosthodontist and his team of dental prosthetic technicians are specialists in the art of replacing missing teeth. Many new and specialized techniques in modern dentistry have dictated the need for post graduate study, further train- ing and experience-so that today the Mall around dentist" is becoming as rare as is the "all around surgeonf' Dentistry has been required to provide specialists such as oral surgeons, prosthodontists, endodontists, periodontists, and orthodontists -to treat particular dental problems that frequently require more than the usual knowledge of dentistry. All such spe- cialists fexcept orthodontistsl are available within the Naval Service-and more specifically, within this hospital. Every year, two dental interns and one oral surgery resi- dent receive training within the Dental Service of this com- mand. The interns are recent graduates of dental schools and have been licensed to practice dentistry in one or more of the States of this country. They receive this intern training so as to better prepare themselves to provide the best pos- sible dental services for members of the Armed Forces. The oral surgery resident is an experienced dentist undergoing extensive training for ultimate specialization and certifica- tion by the American Board of Oral Surgery. It is generally agreed that the best dentistry in the world is practiced in the United States, and the U. S. Naval Dental Service is highly respected by civilian, component societies of the American Dental Association. Every effort is exerted toward providing the best possible dental care for members of the Armed Forces-and the soldier, sailor, marine and airman can get this service from the combined efforts of dental officers and their dental technicians stationed with our troops throughout the world.

This comprises bones, joints, muscles and their component parts such as tendons and tendon sheathsg joint capsules, ligaments, cartilages and synovial linings. Congenital and developmental anomalies of the compon- ent parts are of frequent occurrence. Abnormalities of gait, posture and appearance provoke frequent consultation. Sur- gery, splinting, bracing, protective or corrective casting, spe- cial shoeing as well as provision of artificial limbs are modalities of orthopedic treatment. The department is subdivided into male, female and pediatric services. These in turn are subdivided into officer, enlisted, service women and dependent Women. Qty' CAPTAIN DESALES DU VIGNEAUD, MC, USN Chief, Orthopedic Service Head, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Inpatient care is also provided at this activity for Veterans' Beneficiaries and "on the jobn injuries to civilian employees. A tremendous work load is contributed by the high per- centage of retired service personnel and their families in this area. Medicare does not cover the retired personnel. This is the Navy's biggest hospital and the patient load is reflected in the Orthopedic Department. An average daily census of inpatients is in excess of 225. A minimum of 700 outpatients are seen each month. ELIZABETH KINNICH, Secretary to Chief, Orthopedic Service YEL- I3 'PIAST' al lrlt-w g if 2 ,5 .-f . . X sf '35 t ia if , .. R. L. Walker, HNg Lieut.

KOETT, MC, USN Chief, Radiology Service RADIDLDGY Radiology Service is divided into three basic functional ERVICE components: Diagnostic, Therapeutic and Training Sections. The Diagnostic section provides all types of X-ray examina- tions. When a ward medical officer refers a patient to the department for examination, many persons may not realize it, but the X-ray technician who takes the films is following a procedure prescribed by the radiologist-a medical officer with post graduate radiological training. The radiologist's interpretation of these X-ray films Qoften supplemented by his personal and fluoroscopic examinationj is an important part of the information required by the referring medical officer for diagnosis. Some specialized functions of the diagnostic section are examinations of the spinal cord for tumors, herniated discs and other abnormalities. Here, a spinal tap is made and the withdrawn fluid is replaced by a dye. This dye casts a shadow on the X-ray films and fluoroscopic screen, thereby helping the radiologist and neurosurgeon to locate the ab- normal site. The procedure is commonly known as a "myelo- gramf' Another specialized examination is an nangiocardiographic studyfll This is a study of the different chambers of the heart. It differs from the "myelogram" in that the dye is injected into a vein, whence it promptly flows into the heart. At this precise moment rapid X-ray films of the heart are made, outlining the individual chambers. ln this connection, of special interest is a Swedish-make X-ray machine capable of taking views in two planes on a continuous roll of film, not too dissimilar in principal to the rapid exposure method found in ordinary movie cameras. The roll of developed film obtained from this device provides valuable information to the cardiologist, surgeon and radiologist in arriving at a more accurate diagnosis, particularly in suspected congenital heart lesions. The Therapeutic section is responsible for treatment of all patients presenting abnormal pathological states, from benign to malignant conditions. "Cobalt bomb,', radium, X-ray and radioactive isotope therapies are available in the department for daily use. Of interest is the training section. The department is approved for a full 3 years' residency training for medical officers in radiology as approved by the American Board of Radiology. The Department also maintains a training school for enlisted personnel, approved by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. Upon satisfactory completion of a one-year training period, the student receives an official XRT rating. Though the radiologist and X-ray technician may frequently figure in our lives, many of us remain unfamiliar with their medical specialty.

ALBERTA BURK, NC, USN Chief, Nursing Service NURSI G SER ICE The Nursing Service makes an important contribution in the care of the patients. Nursing itself is multivalued. It deals with healing, pre- vention and rehabilitation for patients and families, yet it is seldom a solitary performance. The total plan for Nursing Service to the patients entails not only cooperation among the nursing personnel, but with every phase of hospital service and allied workers, as Well as community agencies. By working with all services, direct nursing care is performed with the patient and indirect nursing care is performed away from the patient but in his behalf-totaling comprehensive nursing care. Nursing is recognized in large dimensions, being one of the largest services in any hospital. ln administration it involves a variety of personnel including nonprofessional personnel needing the direction that will ultimately be car- ried on to the patient. Many factors and many changes call for continuous analysis and evaluation of Nursing Services in order to formulate and recommend policies and procedures for the improvement of patient care. In and for specific working situations Nursing Service provides personnel, professional and nonprofessional, with programs of preparation. Scheduled orientations, on-the-job training, continued education and management development contribute to the educational needs of a wide Variety of per- sonnel. The immediate consumers of the programs reap many benefits, but the ultimate beneficiaries are the patients who are served with increased confidence and performance. Nursing Service is not only performance in skills and technics. Nursing is care of people, understanding of people, in an operation which involves comfort, safety, therapeutic effectiveness, economy of materials, organization and adaptivity of planning. ,lust as the Nursing Service is concerned with actual patient care, it is concerned with the problems encountered. All nursing activities, administration, supervision, Ward manage- ment and education benefit by the studies and programs in research which Nursing Service carries out to formulate the basis for the best in patient care. Analysis of Nursing Service leads one to believe that this is not just one service but an interwoven complexity of services. Yet each part has a tie. And Nursing Service through its functions serves, "That the Nursing Needs of 57 People May Be Met. if K Q in Lieut. Cumdr. Hazel Clark, NCg Edith Ellis fsccrclarylg Comdr. Ruth Lieut. Comnlr.

SHAVER, MC Chief, Pathology Service PATHOLOGY ERVICE The Pathology Service provides clinical and anatomical pathologic determinations on inpatients of this hospital and the smaller activities within the Eleventh Naval District which do not have laboratory facilities available, it serves as a Histopathologic Center for the Armed Services Facilities in the Sixth Army Area and Fourth Air Force south of the 36th parallel, it maintains and operates a Blood Bank, it maintains the hospital morgue, and it maintains records and preserves anatomical specimens for use by surgical residents. The Pathology Service conducts conferences and training programs in residency type training in clinical pathology and pathological anatomy, operates a .school for clinical laboratory and blood bank technicg reviews and demon- strates histopathology tissue slides with hospital staff medical officers, holds clinical pathological conferences for hospital staff and medical officers, holds tissue slide demonstrations and conferences for the various residency specialities by civilian consultants in pathology and the pathology staff medical officers. The Laboratory Service is divided into four subdivisions: anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, blood bank and training research. The Anatomic Pathology Branch performs necropsies on all cases where permission is obtained, and prepares com- plete autopsy protocols, which includes a clinical summary, gross description, microscopic descriptions, and a final sum- mary of the case, it performs histopathological examinations on all normal or abnormal tissues which are removed from patients during surgery, and prepares a complete written report giving both gross and microscopic findings and a diagnosis, it performs frozen section studies on submitted tissues for the purpose of rapid histologic diagnosis, it forwards completed pathological reports fgross and micro- scopic findingsl to the medical officer or activity concerned, it provides pathologic material fwet tissues, slides, paraffin tissue blocks and written reportsl of all autopsies and un- usual problem cases to the Armed Forces Institute of Path- ology, for the tumor registry, teaching purposes, consultation and review, and it inoculates Naval personnel fhospital staffj as required. The Clinical Pathology Branch performs routine and special clinical laboratory tests on inpatients and outpatients of this activity and smaller Naval activities within the Eleventh Naval District which do not have laboratory fa- cilities available. These tests include bacteriology, clinical chemistry Cblood and urinel serology, hematology, para- sitology, endocrine studies and exfoliative cytology for can- cer detection. It forwards results of such examinations to activities or medical officers concerned. The Blood Bank collects, processes and stores whole blood for transfusion purposes of patients in this hospital, the Coronado Annex, the Naval Hospital at Oceanside, and the USN Hospital in USS Haven at Long Beach, California. It also prepares typing sera for use by the Bank. The Training and Research Branch provides training of Pathology Residents in Clinical Pathology and Pathologic Anatomy, training of Residents in Surgery, training of Residents in Gynecology and Ubstetrical Pathology, training of interns in clinical and anatomical pathology, it operates a school in laboratory technic, each period of training for each class lasting 14 months and consisting of 2,172 hours of practical training and 228 hours of theoretical lectures, and it provides correlation and assistance with the research studies by medical officers of this activity which have been approved by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.

While the majority of patients are dependents of Navy and Marine Corps, a considerable number are dependents of other uni- formed services. Most of the patients seen are from the San Diego area, although many are referred from other Armed Forces activities throughout Southern California, Arizona and Nevada. Dependents Service cooperates with and is assisted by every service and division of the hospital. An average of 1,000 patients present themselves for treatment each day. The majority are seen in Buildings 22 and 38, in Pediatrics, Obstetrics, Gynecology, Surgery, Medicine, Orthopedics, En- docrine, General Clinic, lnoculation Clinic, and Screening and Emergency. Large numbers are referred to specialty clinics in other parts of the hospital, such as Eye, ENT, Dermatology, Chest Service, Proctology, Urology and Neuro- surgery. The Administrative Branch is headed by the Adminis- trative Assistant to the Chief, Dependents Service. It provides an appointment system for dependent outpatient treatment in the various clinics of the hospital. It maintains all depend- ent outpatient records, transmits to and requests from other service activities, private hospitals and doctors, records of dependent patients. It handles medical insurance claims for dependent patients and departmental correspondence and compiles statistics for the service. It performs administrative procedures in regard to admission of dependent patients, averaging 700 per month. It maintains liaison with public health authorities, Red Cross and other county and federal agencies in matters pertaining to dependents. It assigns, supervises and maintains discipline of enlisted and civilian personnel throughout the Dependent Service. The Administrative Branch, in short, performs all the administrative procedures that assist the flow of dependent patients through the inpatient and outpatient facilities. The Administrative Assistant is aided by two HMC's, civilian clerical and stenographic personnel, and corpsmen. The Emergency Clinic consists of 5 rooms, which include 1 surgical, 1 gynecological, 1 recovery room, and 2 medical rooms. It operates on a 24--hour basis for emergency care of dependents and averages between 5,000 and 6,000 pa- tients a month. A Screening Clinic is maintained during regular working hours for the purpose of expediting the flow of patients by referral to speciality clinics or to Emergency, and for treat- ment of minor complaints. This is staffed by one or two residents, detailed from other services, and a Navy nurse. Two General Clinics were established for the treatment of non-emergent conditions not requiring speciality clinic treat- ment. Patients are seen by appointment by two staff medical officers, and the monthly average of visits is slightly over 1,000. The lnoculation Clinic gives immunizations, routine, over- seas and polio, as well as therapeutic inoculations. Immuniza- tions in 1957 averaged 4,000 per month, and therapeutic inoculations, 600. This Clinic is staffed by a Navy nurse and a corpsman. There are two Internal Medicine Clinics f5V2 days a weekl, Surgery Clinic Q5 days a weekl and Orthopedic Clinic f2 afternoons a weekl, staffed by medical officers of the respective services and administratively controlled by De- pendents Service. X-ray and Laboratory facilities for dependents are located in the basement of Building 38. These are staffed by members of X-ray and Laboratory Service. -i CAPTAIN ERNST R.

I noe CORONADO ANNEX The Family Hospital located at South Field, U. S. Naval Air Station in Coronado, was put in operation in August, 1941. It was financed by private subscriptions, the "taken from the slot machines in the Officer's Club on the Naval Air Station and donations from some of the ships stationed in the Pacific area. There was also a small hospital fee which was paid by the patients. In 1944 when the Family Hospital was taken over by the Navy it was placed under Civil Service and was a well equipped and solvent hospital with a large surplus in the bank and in bonds. In 1951 the Family Hospital was torn down to build more runways at South Field for the ,Iet Planes and the Family Hospital was transferred to Bldg. "YN until Bldg. 602 located just inside the gate on U. S. Naval Air Station could be remodeled. NURSES QUARTERS Later Demolished in Plane Crash In 1955 the U. S. Naval Hospital incorporated the Family Hospital under its jurisdiction and the name was changed from Family Hospital to Coronado Annex. j In 1957 the U. S. Naval Hospital closedllthe Coronado Annex but the Coronado Annex Clinic just outside the U. S. Naval Air Station gates remained open. All personnel pot needed at the clinic were transferred to the U. S. Naval Hospital in San Diego. 1-1 ORIGINAL FAMILY HOSPITAL Y FAMILY HOSPITAL PERSONNEL i E it .. I n ,... - . 'ft 'XM T I qV.kh ,g ,xi ,. X 19? 'uf 4 ., W, t 5 93, N., 2 5 CAPTAIN WILBUR S.

BAKER, JR., MC, USN Chief, Obstetrics and Gynecology Service OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY SERVICE The Obstetrics and Gynecology Service is primarily con- cerned with the proper care of all Obstetrical and Gynecol- ogical patients coming under its management and with the training of Interns and Residents in the specialty of Ob- stetrics and Gynecology. The Chief of the Service is normally the Senior Attending Obstetrician-Gynecologist and is directly responsible to the Commanding Officer via the Executive Officer for the proper management of the Service. The Assistant Chief of the Service is normally the next Senior Attending Obstetrician-Gynecologist present and is directly responsible to the Chief of the Service for the proper and efficient management of both the Obstetrical and Gyne- cological Divisions. The Service consists of both an Inpatient and Outpatient Section. The Obstetrical Inpatient Section consists of four well equipped air conditioned delivery rooms and ten labor beds arranged semiprivately in five rooms. A Recovery Room is located on the Labor and Delivery Room floor for the immediate care of puerperal patients and a Recovery Ward is operated in the general Post Partum Ward area. There are I0 beds in the Recovery Ward and 28 beds on the Post Partum Ward. These latter beds are all semi-private in individual cubicles. A separate ward for antenatal complica- tions is also maintained. On this ward there are 30 beds and adequate precautions or isolation of contaminated cases are carried out when required. The nursing personnel on all obstetrical wards are separate from those assigned to general hospital nursing functions. There are 32 beds for the care of gynecological conditions. These beds are generally in great demand due to the Very adequate amount of clinical material available for teaching. The Obstetrical Division consists of both an Inpatient and Outpatient Service. The Inpatient Service includes the Labor and Delivery Room Suite, the Abnormal Obstetrical Ward and the Post Partum Wardg the Outpatient Service includes the New and Old Prenatal Clinic, the Post Partum Clinic and the Abnormality Prenatal Clinic. The Obstetrical Division is normally administrated by a Senior Attending Staff Obstetrician who is responsible for the performance of the Division. The General Prenatal Clinic is supervised and operated by the Head of the Obstetrical Division and his house staff with the help of all currently assigned attending Staff Ob- stetricians and Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Clinic Service. It functions as a combined Attending and Resident Staff evolution. The Gynecology Division consists of both an inpatient and outpatient service. The inpatient service is both medical and surgical and is called the Gynecology Ward, Building 38-2. The outpatient service includes both Resident and Attending Staff Gynecology Clinics. The Gynecology Division is admin- istered by a Senior Attending Staff Gynecologist. The Outpatient Service consists of the New Prenatal Clinic, Old Prenatal Clinic, Abnormality Prenatal Clinic, and Post Partum Clinic. Gynecology Clinic consists of Walk-In Gynecology Clinic, Cancer Detection Clinic, Sterility Clinic, Gynecology En- docrine Clinic, Gynecology Tumor Board, and Presurgery Gynecology Clinic. The secondary mission of this Service is to train Interns and Residents in the fundamentals of good obstetrical and gynecological practice and to afford ample opportunity for residents to become eligible for certification by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology after the completion of three years of satisfactory supervised training. The training program is approved for three years by the American Medical Association, American Hospital Associa- tion, American College of Surgeons, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and American Board of Ob- stetrics and Gynecology. During this period of training the Resident rotates through a planned series of assignments in both Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as spending a mini- mum of six months on General Pathology. An opportunity is also available for elective work in Urology and General Surgery. The Interns on Obstetrics are responsible for all histories and physical examinations of labor patients and accomplish a minimum of 12 uncomplicated deliveries under the super- vision of the Resident Staff. They also complete all labor records and charts and are responsible for all initial new- born physical examinations and circumcisions. The Interns on Gynecology are responsible for the histories and physical examinations on all Gynecology admissions and perform minor surgical procedures under supervision of the Resident staff. The First Year Residents are normally four in number and in the event of a great influx of patients or a shortage of Interns they assist in writing admission histories and phys- icals. They examine all unusual cases on the wards. The Second Year Residents are normally four in number. They supervise the activities of the First Year Residents under their immediate jurisdiction. They write an admission summary and progress note on all patients on the Service to which they are assigned. They assure that all interns, his- tories and physicals and First Year Residents' notes are properly written on each patient's record. The Third Year Residents are also four in number. The Senior Third Year Resident is designated the Chief Resident and is responsible for the supervision of all residents junior to him and for the management and care of all patients on the Service. The Third Year Residents are expected to visit all patients on their assigned wards daily. They are responsible for the closing out of all charts on their wards and personally countersign all discharge sum- maries. They keep the Chief Resident informed of all ad- missions and discharges on the Service.

There are four to six interns who are assigned to the service for two months. This may include an intern from San Diego County Hospital. There are two civilian Board-certified consultants, each of whom spends 24- hours a year for teaching, rounds, etc. There is one chief nurse on each of the two pediatric wards, the main nursery, premature nursery and pediatric clinic. These are assisted by other Navy nurses, civilian nurses, corpswaves, corpsmen and attendants. The primary function of the Pediatric Service is to provide inpatient and outpatient medical and surgical care for de- pendents under the age of 13. This includes the care of new- born infants, ,both full-term and premature, and well-baby checks for those under one year. The secondary function of the Pediatric Service is to provide training for medical officers in the practice of pediat- rics, to enable these officers to meet the standards of com- petency to practice pediatrics which are established by the American Board of Pediatrics and to qualify for examination by this Board. lt is also the function of the Pediatric Service to provide general pediatric training and experience for interns and general practice residents as part of their training for general practice or specialty in other fields. This general teaching program is extended to include nurses, corpswaves and corpsmen. The department maintains close liaison with other services. Consultations and advice are given on all dependents of the pediatric age group or on those problems which are com- mon to the pediatrician, regardless of age. CAPTAIN ERNST R. MOELLER, MC, USN Chief, Pediatric Service The Pediatric Service is divided into three main branches, the Pediatric wards, Pediatric nurseries, and Pediatric out- patient clinics. There are two complete adjoining pediatric wards. Each has its own nurses, assigned staff and facilities. One 29-bed ward is devoted to the care of medical prob- lems Cor the strictly pediatric patienti, with the exception of a separately enclosed nursery area which handles all bassinette and incubator-sized problem cases regardless of their diag- nosis. This ward has one isolation room for semi-contagion. It also contains a treatment room for special diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The other pediatric ward of 22 beds is devoted to the general or specialized surgical services. Each service has an allotted number of available beds according to their needs. There is a separate room with separate full-time nursing facilities for tonsillectomy patients. There is also a separate room for infected surgical cases. Both wards are well-equipped with necessary facilities, such as piped-in oxygen, incubators, croupettes and other special equipment. Both wards have assigned residents and interns, supervised by a staff man. There is a main nursery which handles all routine full- term newborns. It is divided into an admitting room plus two other rooms. Routine circumcisions are done here. This nursery handles 30-plus newborns, dependent on need. The nearby premature nursery, which has a separate staff, is divided into five areas, one of which is used solely by the staff and two of which are used for isolation of suspect cases. It is supervised by one or more specially trained nurses. There is space available to care for I4 premature infants, although this number exceeds the usual census. Both nurseries have an adequate number of incubators, isolettes and rocker-beds. One pediatric resident, assisted by an intern and supervised by a staff man, is in charge of both nurseries. A large and well-staffed pediatric outpatient clinic is main- tained in a separate area. It includes seven examining rooms, plus two staff offices with examining facilities. One full-time staff man, one part-time staff man, one or two residents and two to three interns maintain the care of the clinic. Residents or interns assigned to other pediatric branches may be added as needed, providing it does not interfere with their other duties. One hundred fifty to 200 patients a day are seen here, by appointment or on a walk-in basis. In addition, there is a separately located well-baby clinic four afternoons a week for babies under one year. This is directed by the nursery resident under staff supervision. There is also a small pediatric neurology clinic on an appoint- s , Jw LW K 3 f W?" ii" 'fin . 5 as 1 f am -T372 Q? 53, as Q A Q, ,.. ,V I K A :lf I - - ' iz i 4 7 .

There is also a weekly pediatric orthopedic clinic run jointly by the Pediatric Department and the Chief of Orthopedics. The Pediatric Residency Training Program aims to provide each resident a well-rounded experience in all phases of clinical pediatrics. The residentis time is divided among the heretofore described branches. In the course of a year he will have seen and treated practically all of the major pediatric diseases and conditions, including many of the rarer ones as well. The program is planned and equipped for two years. In addition to the formal teaching periods, there is con- tinual informal teaching of the interns by the residents and staff and of the residents by the staff. The U. S. Naval Hospital, San Diego, because of its staff, facilities and geographic location, acts as a diagnostic and treatment center for pediatric problem cases from other serv- ice activities covering a very broad area. Along with the very large number of service dependents in the San Diego area, this provides the service with a continual supply of excellent teaching cases as well as an abundance of the more routine type of case. All but a selected few patients under 13 years of age are admitted to the Pediatric Serviceggiving the residents opportunity to follow a wide variety of allied pediatric conditions. f is SICK CALL: Left to right: Lieut.

I2O DERMATOLOGY ERVICE The Dermatology Department is headed by a diplomate, American Board of Dermatology and Syphilology and Fellow American College of Physicians. An assistant, also a diplo- mate, American Board of Dermatology and Syphilology, completes the officer medical staff. At the present time four medical officers are undergoing residency type training at this institution. Seven hospital corpsmen and a nurse corps officer assist in the operation of the dermatology ward and clinic. Two of the enlisted hospital corpsmen are certified dermatology technicians. In addition the residents and staff are assisted by regular visits of six well-known civilian dermatologists. Three of the six attending staff are members of the staff of the Uni- versity of Southern California. The Dermatology Department provides the personnel and facilities necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of all types of dermatological diseases and conditions for the active and retired members of the military services and their dependents. The Department also provides the resident medical offi- cers with the supervised teaching and training and the clinical and laboratory experience necessary to develop the highest type of dermatologist and to enable them to meet the requirements for certification by the American Board of Dermatology and Syphilology. Further, it provides for the teaching and training of in- terns and other members of the hospital staff. Facilities available include a 31 bed ward with facilities for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of all types of dermatologic cases of active or retired enlisted personnel. Separate facilities are also available for the hospitalization of pediatric, female and officer personnel. CAPTAIN WILLIAM N. NEW, MC, USN ' Chief, Dermatology Service Also included are six fully equipped examining rooms for the examination, diagnosis and treatment of outpatient per- sonnelg one large and six wall-type electro-surgical units with attachments for various types of electro-surgical pro- ceduresg an operating room with equipment for the per- formance of all types of dermatological surgical procedures, including dermabrasiong a dermatologic laboratory with equipment and facilities for all indicated mycologic, bacteri- ologic or parasitic examinations and culturesg an X-ray room with dermatologic therapy apparatus for indicated super- ficial X-ray irradiation proceduresg an ultra-violet ray ther- apy room with apparatus of the hot and cold quartz types and Wood's lights for all types of ultra-violet irradiation procedures, and a medical camera and photographic equip- ment for dermatologic color photography and a file of over 3,000 35mm. color photographs of representative derma- tological entities.

I38 FOOD ERVICF, DIVISION Occupying the entire first-basement level of the new surgi- cal wing, the Food Service Division is the largest naval hos- pital food service facility in the United States, preparing and serving more than 2,500,000 meals and special diets annually for the patients and staff of the hospital and the students of the Hospital Corps School. The division, which operates under the direction of a Medical Service Corps officer, consists of three main branches. The Administration and Stores Branch orders, receives, inspects, stores, issues, and accounts for approximately 351,000,000 worth of perishable and non-perishable provisions each year. Under the supervision of a Chief Medical Service Corps warrant officer the personnel of this branch also sup- port the operation of the divisionis other branches by pro- viding essential services in many phases of the divisionis over-all mission. Headed by ia Chief Quarterman CCommissaryD and staffed completely by career Civil Service employees, the Food Prep- aration and Service Branch is responsible for all aspects of food preparation and service, except those relating directly to special diets. This branch, by far the largest in the divi- sion, operates the main galley, butcher shop, bake shop, salad unit, vegetable preparation room, four dining rooms, two large dishwashing pantries, and the ward food service distribution unit. The planning, preparation, and service of special diets is accomplished by the Therapeutic Diet Branch under the supervision of qualified Nurse Corps and Medical Service Corps dietitians who maintain liaison with the professional QUENTIN L. BROWN, CWO, USN Assistant Chief, Food Service Division LIEUT. COMDR. JOHN H. BING, MSC, USN Chief, Food Service Division staff of the hospital on all matters of diet therapy and who also provide instruction in dietary planning and treatment to patients and staff members requiring it. The therapeutic diet kitchen, which is located adjacent to the main galley and staffed 'by Civil Service employees, prepares and serves an average of 1,000 therapeutic diets of various types each day. The work of the division extends virtually around-the- clock, seven days a week. A full meal is prepared and served at midnight to the seventy members of the hospital night crew. Preparations for breakfast begin as early as 0400 daily and employees of the division work as late as 2000 following service of the evening meal. One of the most interesting features of the main galley is the ward tray assembly table where, using assembly line techniques, employees assemble from 800 to 1,000 regular and therapeutic diet trays each meal for delivery to the wards by means of fifty tray carts. A monetary ration allowance for provisions, prescribed by the Secretary of the Navy, governs the amount of money which may be spent for the food used in the regular and special diets and the supplementary nourishments which are furnished to patients on the wards. The division has undergone a complete reorganization dur- ing the past year and a complete physical relocation. Five separate kitchens were closed and their functions assumed by the central galley and the ward food service was con- verted from a decentralized bulk food cart system to the centralized tray assembly operation.

THACKER, CEC, USN Public Works Officer The Public Works Division is the engineering, maintenance and construction organization of the hospital. lt employs I50 civilians, four enlisted men, the Public Works Officer and his assistant. In order that adequate medical care for patients can be assured, it is essential that electricity, heat and water are available at all times and that hospital buildings and equip- ment are kept in a proper, safe working condition. Ambulances and other official motor vehicles must be properly maintained and operated safely. Besides the busy present, there is always the future to plan for. Many weeks each year are spent under the direction of the Public Works Officer in assessing the needs for build- ings and improvements, replacements and major repairs. Each year a submission to the Navy Department must be made of a long range plan for major improvements. Upon this plan depends the money which will be granted by Con- gress to carry out these improvements. During the past two years a Controlled Maintenance Pro- gram has been implemented. Its purpose is to obtain the most maintenance for the least cost. It aims to discover and correct discrepancies while they are still little ones, thus avoiding costly repairs and disruptions of service. This pro- gram requires the constant and energetic effort and coopera- tion of Maintenance Control personnel, supervisors at all levels, and in fact, everyone in Public Works. it PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION The Public Works Division has the following branches: Administrative, Insect and Rodent Control, Maintenance Con- trol, Building, Utility, Grounds, Transportation and Design. All these branches, with the exception of the Administrative and Insect and Rodent Control Branches, are under the direc- tion of the Foreman Mechanic. He is assisted by the Main- tenance Scheduler who schedules work to be done by the shops at a time when men of different trades can be made available and all necessary material is on hand so that jobs can proceed without loss of time. The Administrative Branch provides office services for the division such as stenographic, typing, files and prepara- tion of reports. This branch also administers the hospital safety program. The Insect and Rodent Control Branch is in charge of a Chief Petty Officer who is assisted by two enlisted men. This branch inspects for pests and unsanitary conditions and carries out control measures for pests. The Maintenance Control Branch performs those aspects of the Controlled Maintenance program having to do With. inspecting, planning and estimating and issuing of job orders for work to be performed by the maintenance shops. Records are kept and reports prepared for the purpose of evaluating the maintenance effort. The actual maintenance work on all types of buildings and equipment, grounds and utility systems is performed by the Building, Utility, and Grounds Branches. They also accomplish minor improvements and alterations. Supervisors and artisans in these branches have to be versatile and able in many things besides their primary trades because of the complexity of special hospital equipment. The Building Branch, in charge of a Maintenance Quar- terman, has a Carpenter Section, Electric Section and a Paint Section. The Utility Branch, in charge of a Utilities Quarterman, has a Plumbing Section, Sheetmetal Section, Machine Sec- tion and Heating Plant Section. I45 The Grounds Branch, in charge of a Roads and Grounds Quarterman, has a Grounds Section, Cement Section, Gen- eral Detail Section and Incinerator Section. The Transportation Branch, in charge of a Transporta- tion Quarterman, operates and maintains hospital motor vehicles. Ambulance service is furnished around the clock. This branch also conducts examinations for U. S. Govern- ment Operator permits. The Design Branch prepares drawings, specifications and cost estimates for work to be accomplished by Public Works personnel and for project submissions. It maintains a file of maps and plans of hospital facilities. DISCUSSION: C. W. Brown, civilian clerk, talks it over with Irving W.

LIEDTKE, MSC, USN Security Officer SECURITY AND MASTER AT ARMS DIVISION The Security and Master at Arms Division of U. S. Naval Hospital, San Diego, is divided into three branches: the Ad- ministrative Branch, the Master at Arms Branch, and the Fire Protection Branch. The Master at Arms Branch is also divided into three sections: Inside, Outside and Quarters Master at Arms. The Security Officer is responsible for the security of all the hospital's grounds and buildings and the safekeeping of all government property located within the area. He is also held responsible for the efficient operation of the Fire Department, and for the management and operation of the male Hospital Corps Quarters. The Administrative Branch of the Security Office makes all investigations and prepares reports on the results of those investigations for forwarding to the Legal Office and the Commanding Officer. The Inside Master at Arms is responsible for maintaining good order and discipline, and he enforces compliance with Navy Regulations and observance of Naval Customs by patient and staff personnel. The Outside Master at Arms is required to maintain ade- quate records of patients in the Rehabilitation Program, and to assign patients to details as approved by the Executive Officer. He is also required to assist the Inside Chief Master at Arms in maintaining good order and discipline on the Station. The Quarters Master at Arms administers the billeting of staff Hospital Corpsmen, supervises the cleaning and upkeep of the Hospital Corps Quarters and maintains order in the Quarters.

RICHARDSON, MSC, USN Special Services Officer The Special Services Division is charged with providing and administering a well-balanced program of indoor and outdoor recreation for staff and patient personnel. The Division is headed by a Medical Service Corps officer who is assisted by an athletic director, a stenographer-book- keeper, a property clerk, two librarians, two Station-paper editors, and several other enlisted personnel, who are well qualified to perform their share of the various functions of the Divisions. All personnel are military, except the two librarians and the stenographer-bookkeeper. The Division is divided into an Administrative Branch, a Recreation Branch, a Library Branch and a Property Branch. The Administrative Branch administers the Recreation Fund, maintains accounting records on all receipts and dis- bursements of recreation funds, and accomplishes the neces- sary clerical procedures for the efficient administration of the Division. The Recreation Branch is charged with administering the Recreation and Entertainment Program and exercising con- trol over the use of the Recreation Fund for recreational purposes. This branch is responsible for periodic shows, nightly movies and arranging parties for all hands. The physical fitness program is also administered by this branch. These activities include the operation of a nine-hole golf course, two tennis courts, a swimming pool and the hospital athletic field. Both intramural and varsity sports are in- cluded in the program. The Library Branch furnishes patients and staff members with adequate organized collections of books and other materials intended for educational, informational, technical, reference and recreational reading. The Property Branch maintains prescribed records of all recreation fund equipment and supplies and maintains an adequate stock of such materials. Numerous supply and equipment items are maintained for checking out to author- ized personnel on a returnable basis. This is a very popular service in that it obviates the necessity of many personnel buying items, such as camping equipment. Many of the programs and activities performed by the division stem from recommendations submitted by the En- listed Recreation Committee, which is composed of enlisted members from the various departments, who represent all en- listed personnel on the compound. The Committee meets once each month and submits recommendations to the Recreation Council which is composed of three officers. The Recreation Council meets and recommends action on the Enlisted Com- mitteeis report to the Commanding Officer. This system af- fords representation to all hands, since each person can voice his opinions and desires to his committee representative. Most of the expenses connected with Special Services functions are paid from the Recreation Fund, which con- sists of profits derived from the operation of the Navy Ex- change. Each month the profits from the Navy Exchange are forwarded to the Navy Ships' Store, Brooklyn, New York, John H. Jackson, HMC, Athletic Direc- torg Woody H. Medley, HM1, Petty Officer in Charge, Mrs. Bessie Hudson, Secretary-accountant. where apportionments are made between the Ships' Store, the Bureau of Naval Personnel Central Recreation Fund, and this hospital. The funds received by the Hospital each month depend largely on the Navy EXchange's profit as well as on the number of military personnel attached, quartered or in a transient status at the Hospital, Hospital Corps School and Preventive Medicine Unit No. 5. A certain percentage of all funds received from this source is forwarded to the Eleventh Naval District- Fund, which is known as the Command Fund. The Chief of the Division coordinates the Hospital Recrea- X We RWE -W :L-Qisoi , f N .Q tion Program with that of the Hospital Branch of the Ameri- can Red Cross in order that the maximum benefit may be afforded to all eligible personnel. It is obvious that the Special Services Division plays an important role in maintaining the desired state of morale of all hands. It follows that the personnel charged with per- forming Special Services functions must have a keen under- standing of the recreational and entertainment needs of patient and staff personnel in order to administer a successful program.

This office consists of two main branches, a military law branch and a civil law branch. It also has a reporting and secretarial unit whose personnel consists-of two civil service employees. All other persons assigned for duty in the Office of the Counsel are members of the naval service. The officer in charge has dual titles, "legal officer" and "legal assistance officerf' The title "legal officerv has application to his being head of the military law branch. Whether he bears the title of fclegal assistance officer" or "legal assistance referral offi- cer" depends upon Whether or not he is a qualified lawyer, the former title being applicable in the event he is and the latter being applicable in the event he is not. The incumbent is a fully qualified attorney. The function of the military law branch is to handle all official matters of a legal nature pertinent to the command. It handles liaison with other military and civilian law en- forcement agencies, and is responsible for receiving, inter- viewing, and assisting all persons who come aboard this station on legal matters, including naval and military in- vestigating officers, police officers, adjustors, attorneys, and other individuals in similar capacities. Likewise, the cases of military personnel attached to this command, staff and patients, who have been reported for commission of alleged offenses, are processed through the military law branch in preparation for disposition by the LIEUT. COMDR. WOLFGANG E. KLOSTERMANN, Msc, UsN Chief, Legal Division commanding officer. The military law branch also prepares appointing orders for courts-martial and various types of investigative boards, and prepares such reports and other correspondence as are necessary to carry out its mission. At the present time, there is an assistant legal officer as- signed to the Office of the Counsel for training purposes. He assists the legal officer in matters over which the military law branch has cognizance and, in the legal officeris absence, takes action on such military law matters as he is qualified to handle. The enlisted members of the military law branch are under the direct control and supervision of a chief petty officer whose responsibility it is to see that the Work assign- ments given by him to those members are carried out, and to assist in the smooth functioning of this branch. The function of the civil law branch is to provide legal assistance for active duty and retired military and naval personnel and their dependents who have personal legal problems. By regulation, service personnel who are not law- yers are prohibited from counseling individuals in respect to personal legal problems and from rendering any other legal service ordinarily provided by an attorney. Accordingly, P 4 , A X 9+- m..,,,M rug Q? :W 5 Q . gf ,T f K Y STAEF MEMBERS: R. E. Bertka, Ensign, MSCg Ernest READING BRIEF: Chief Tank, Ensign COURT REPORTER: rliqflatlhishlilgfllg E. R. Kraber, HNg H. J. Weitzel, HNQ C. E. Berlka. Lillian Salyers an , , most of the services provided by the civil law branch are performed directly by the legal assistance officer. These include counseling persons in various fields of law, some of which are domestic relations, injury due to negligent situa- tions, contracts, federal-state taxation, landlord and tenant regulations, real estate transactions, agency, wills, partner- ships, trusts, and negotiable instruments. Under certain conditions, letters relative to legal disputes in which they are involved are prepared for the signatures of the persons seeking legal assistance. The legal assistance officer may not file pleadings or make court appearances for such persons or otherwise actively represent them in legal controversies. ln those occasional instances in which it appears the services of a civilian attorney are necessary, the person seeking the legal assistance is advised, after his case has been discussed with him, to obtain the services of a civilian lawyer of his own choice or, if he knows none, he is directed to a civilian agency established for the purpose of referring persons to civilian lawyers upon request. The number of persons availing themselves of the services of the civil law branch has steadily increased in the recent past, and now averages eighty persons a month. The legal assistance officer also prepares opinions on various medico- legal matters for the Command from time to time as the, need therefore arises. The reporting and secretarial unit, as its name implies, furnishes to both the military law branch and civil law branch all clerical services. This includes the taking, trans- cribing and typing of records of courts-martial and of investi- gative proceedings and hearings. Also, all correspondence initiated by the officer in charge of the Office of the Counsel and all legal documents prepared for persons who have sought assistance from the civil law branch, are dictated to and typed by personnel of this unit. Mission and History of the U. S. Naval Hospital Corps School The primary mission of the Hospital Corps School is to train selected men in the basic duties of the Hospital Corps. The present Hospital Corps School was established at the U. S. Naval Hospital, San Diego, California, on 1 September 1928 and operated until April 1935, when it was placed in an inactive status. ln April, 1935, the school was re-activated and has been the only Hospital Corps School in continuous operation since that time. On December 7, 1941, the school was located in Building 119 on the hospital reservation. It had a student body of 327, and the staff consisted of six male officers, four nurse corps officers, and seventeen enlisted men. In January, 1942, the school was moved to Buildings 211 and 219 in the hospital annex of Balboa Park. During 1942, the average number of students was increased to 616 and 6,476 hospital corpsmen were graduated that year. In 1943, the average number of students increased to 1,3003 9,544 were received and 8,918 graduated. The year 1944 brought many changes to the school. To meet the needs of a rapidly growing organization, the school was again moved to Unit No. 3 of the hospital, which was well suited to the needs of an expanding school, consisting of 33 acres of park land in Balboa Park. Five former exposi- tion buildings were utilized to house administrative offices and berth a majority of the personnel. One tent section was retained to house approximately one thousand men. Five ad- ditional buildings, built while this area was occupied, were utilized as heads, showers, commissary, and mess-halls. Thirty-two temporary buildings were moved into the area and equipped as classrooms. During this year, a total of 10,245 students were received and 8,897 graduated. In July, 1944, the Hospital Corps School, Great Lakes, Illinois, was closed and 456 students were transferred here from that school command to complete their course of in- struction. 1n 1945, the school reached its peak enrollment, with an average of approximately 3,400 students on board. During this year, 13,332 students were enrolled and 14,907 were graduated. The staff at that time consisted of eighteen male officers, thirty Nurse Corps officers, 200 enlisted men, and 27 civilians. .. In 1946 the average strength dropped to approximately 600 due to demobilization. In J une, 1946, the school vacated its quarters in Balboa Park and moved to its present loca- tion on the hospital reservation. From 1 January 1947 to 1 July 1948, the average student strength dropped to 337, and the staff was reduced to six male officers, five nurses, eighteen enlisted men and five civilians. In February, 1949, enlisted women began reporting for instruction. They were trained under a co-educational plan until August, 1953, when all basic training of enlisted women was undertaken by the Hospital Corps School, Bainbridge, Maryland. A total of 678 enlisted women were graduated from here. Since moving to its present location in 1946, the Hospital Corps School, San Diego, has operated under four different training schedules: an 8 week schedule consisting of 320 hours of instructiong a 12 week schedule consisting of 480 hours, a 16 week schedule encompassing 640 hours of in- struction, and a 20 week schedule with 760 hours of in- struction. At present, the school operates under two schedules, a 16 week course for volunteers, and a 12 week course for reserv- ists. There is also a 2 week accelerated course for inactive reservists performing annual training duty. There are presently 8 classes under instruction, classes ranging from 45 to 80 students each. Among the students there are members of friendly foreign services undergoing instruction. At present, there is a Chief Hospital Corpsman from the Chinese Navy, and also a Mexican physician. ln the past, the school has graduated members of the Korean Navy, Colombian Navy and Peruvian Navy. During the past year, an average of 1,260 students gradu- ated. They were transferred to naval hospitals, station hos- pitals, and large dispensaries, for additional practical train- ing before going to sea or to duty with the Fleet Marine Force. The subjects taught are Anatomy and Physiology, Minor Surgery and First Aid, Preventive Medicine, Principles and Technics of Patient Care, Materia Medica and Toxicology, Pharmacy and Metrology, Basic Bacteriology and Elementary Laboratory Technic, and Radiological Safety. All instructors are well-qualified graduates of the lnstructor's School, most of whom have had previous teaching experience. Instruction in the Principles and Technics of Patient Care is begun in the first week and continues throughout the six- teen week curriculum with a total of two hundred hours pro- vided in didactic instruction and practical experience. A nurse is assigned to each class and is assisted in demonstra- tions, supervision of student practice and administration of examinations by other nurse instructors. During the first fourteen weeks instruction is confined to the school but in the fifteenth and sixteenth weeks a total of six days clinical experience is provided at the naval hospital. To reinforce the learning experience of the student the nurse instructor for the class furnishes follow-up ward supervision. Lectures and lecture-demonstrations embrace the develop- ment and application of sound principles and associated skills necessary for giving competent care to the sick through learned techniques and procedures. Included are: introduc- tion to concepts of patient care team, admission, transfer and discharge of patients, baths and bedmakingg vital signs, charting, administration of medications, oxygen therapy, use of suction apparatusg diet in health and disease, selected diagnostic tests, including selected laboratory procedures, FLOYD ANGLIN, HN, USN, is awarded the Hugh E.

Clinical facilities available for practice consist of one ward with forty bed units and a nursing supply room which is equipped with such items as dressing carriage, stretchers, oxygen tent, suction machines and demonstration trays set up for use in the teaching of nursing procedures, catheteriza- tion and bladder treatments. All nineteen nurse instructors hold baccalaureate degrees. In addition to the above officers, there are 5 male MSC officers, a chief medical service warrant, and 63 enlisted men on the staff.
