H Division, made up of six Hospital Corpsmen, one Chief Hospital Corpsman, and one Medical Officer, is concerned with main- taining the health of the crew and caring for the sick 'and the injured. At sick call, which is held daily, crew men are seen by Corpsmen and the Doctor: some may be directed to the laboratory for chemical analysis or micro- scopic studies: others may require physio- therapy, for which the ship is equipped with a heat lamp and a Whirlpool. Weights and braces may be rigged as necessary. A small portable X-ray machine is available and an operating room is maintained for minor surgery. Medicines are compounded in the pharmacy, and a great variety of tablets, ointments, and syrups are dispensed as pre- scribed by the Medical Officer. The Sick Bay, a nine bed ward for the care of the sick and injured, can be converted to a seventeen bed seagoing hospital in half an hour. In addition to individual medical care, medical department personnel conduct weekly sanitation inspections throughout the ship and make recommendations aimed at maintaining high standards of living conditions and pro- moting healthful and sanitary practices in food preparation and serving spaces. Medical personnel also give daily training lectures to the crew, insuring that all hands are indoctrinated in important first-aid and lifesaving procedures.
