to the Seventh Fleet Commander and Commanding Olhcer of the WISCONSIN for the health of all per- sonnel on board and for the procurement and ac- countability of all medical equipment and supplies required to carry out the mission of the Medical Department. The Commander's staff consists of two Junior Medical Officers, LT H. E. Nelson and LTJG D. A. Symond, one Medical Service Corps Officer, ENS L. F. White, twenty-two Hospital Corpsmen, and four strikers lmen who aspire to be Hospital Corpsmenj. These men, under the supervision of the Medical Department Oflicers, perform such duties as general and surgical nursing, compounding and dispensing medicines, clinical laboratory studies, taking X-rays, procuring medical materials, maintaining a health record on every member of the crew, which includes recording all medical treatment, inoculations, etc., typing official correspondence, preparing numerous routine reports and maintaining the medical depart- ment spaces located throughout the ship. The main- tenance program involves scrubbing paint work, chip- ping paint, painting, and routine house-cleaning pro- cedures. lt is, therefore, not an uncommon occur- rence to call a hospital corpsman away from his paint pot or paint chipper to assist in major surgery or in any one of the other numerous professional tasks. The hospital corpsman, and understandably so, has frequently been referred to as the most versa- tile man in the Navy. The Medical Department facilities include a mod- ern, well equipped operating room, a pharmacy, a clinical laboratory, a 47-bed ward, two medical storerooms, and the necessary administrative spaces. The shipas Medical staff, who have all these facili- ties stocked with the most modern and effective medical equipment and supplies, at their disposal, assure the ship's personnel of receiving the very best in medical care. llllllllllllll0000l 1 1 W1 IIIIWWIWIIJWIJIIJIWIIWW 0 M 01 anyWlynalmllaalmammalyfwlf101001 IIIIIZJI .Qs ORDERS.
