, G THE FULL PACK X I if j 1 i iiii T MEDICAL SERVICE VVILLIAM T. POWERS As soon as a stu- dent arrives at Fort -Leavenworth, he is placed under the care of the Medical Corps, that famous body of men whose sacrifice and scientific work have bettered the lot of hundreds and thou- sands of people, both Civilians and soldiers. From the time of their arrival in camp until the time they leave, the Medical Officers have a great influence upon the students of CMTC. The first contact t.he students had with the Medical Qfficers ' was their first day in camp, when they started through the E Mill. Medical VOHT- cers started out weighing the boys. Then their eyesight, ears, lungs, and teeth were tested. They were made to jump first on one leg, and then on the other. The hard boiled Majors had them move their fingers and joints. In fact, they looked for every weakness that might possibly incapacitate the candidate. ' One of the regular bugle calls is usick call , which is sounded twice a day for the purpose of assemblinglin groups at specific hours those who have suffered minor injuries or feel 'symptoms which they believe to demand attention. An average of IOO students each day avail themselves of this privilege. Of this number an average of fifteen daily show symptoms which warrant their being placed in the hospital. Many cases are sent from the camp infirmary to the hospital not because ofthe seriousness of the ailment but because of the policy of the Medical department toclear up the trouble as quickly as possible. All men participating in boxing, wrestling, or other strenuous sports are first given an examination to see if they are able to stand the work. Those whom the Army doctors believe to have insuHicient strength or insufficiently developed hearts are not allowed to enter the tournaments. ' g The Medics are first to receive the men when they come in and last to see them go out. Every man must be weighed and examined as he leaves the camp.. lt was found last year that there was an average gain of three-pounds per man, making a total of 6ooo pounds of flesh and muscle that was gained at this camp last year. In addition to the gain in fiesh there was also an average gain in height of a half inch per man or Iooo inches, 84 feet, gained in height. ' NIEDICAL STAFF .
