HOSPITAL will enter the hospital through the ambulance entrance. This entrance is perhaps better known to the staff than the visitors because through this door pass the nurses going on and off duty and all discharged patients. Here our tour starts on First East. This floor is entirely Medical patients. Now Medical (according to the dictionary) is an adjective which means—pertaining to or connected with medicine. We see that medicine is the science which relates to the treatment and alleviation of disease. We have doctors now who were formerly termed as medicine men. According to said same dictionary, medicine men are found among certain tribes, such as the North American Indians and are conjurers who profess to drive away evil spirits or disease by magical arts. If you worked on First East you would know that medical patients are not treated these days by magical art. Here the doctors test the patients for everything from reflexes to heart palpitations. Then they take all their find¬ ings and carefully make a diagnosis. The patient is now treated with every¬ thing from medicines to hot and cold applications. Several men work day and night in laboratories to discover the exact effect of all these treatments. And so the job of the doctor becomes a tremendous task. Here in First East we learn what this task is and how to appreciate it.
