, ' KlJ JiPit . = B I Ps ifl jt J ; fli 1 :j ii he pale nervous lad, clad in a towel, tensed himself and waited for the inevitable. As the cold sweat dripped down his forehead, his eyes widened, his heart raced madly, and fear had all but overcome him. Suddenly, without warning, it happened — ouch! The little needle had found its way under his skin and it was all over. Shucks, nothing to It after all, exclaimed the lad, regaining his sanity. This little drama was one of many caused by those guys down in Sick Bay; your hi Division. Besides just giving inoculations, there are countless other jobs and specialties this group performs in the interests of treating the sick and injured and preventing disease. Under the direction of C. Rich LT MC USNR and J. D. McMurray LTJG MC USNR of the Medical Department, and G. M. Drew LTJG DC USNR of the Dental Department, this division Is ready to cope with medical or dental emergencies that could arise at anytime. Now while it Is known to all, the usual functions and jobs of the Medical and Dental Department, which are typical of all H Divisions and Naval Hospitals everywhere, one may ask, What of the men In this division? Again we will say typical, because the men are typical of any division on any ship or station. We have our share of racketeers, brown- baggers, lovers, sleepers, bar experts, students, and just plain hard-working, conscientious lads. Sometimes, this group has to work long hours, then at other times, it has it easy; for one can never predict mother nature, accidents, and the number of people In the sick-call line trying to get out of work, but the job is always accom- plished. Between operations, inoculations, simple treatments, inventories and recording, and tooth yanking and plugging, this division manages to have as much fun as any on the beach. As If there were not enough specialties aboard the ship among - Division, already, there are many others when on liberty. But these are far too numerous to mention here, so we will just refer you to the gossip column of our ship ' s newspaper and let it go at that. In closing, let us say we ' re proud of our division, and more so, our ship, for we think the Columbo is the finest afloat, but naturally, we all look forward to getting back to shore duty In the USA and here ' s to it! CREW ' S CONCEPTION OF HOW DIVISION AT WORK •!!. '
