GCDOD F OR WHAT AILS YOU With facilities comparable to those of a city of four thousand people, the LEXINGTONE Medical Depart- ment is capable of handling practically any contingency, routine or emergency, including cases requiring major surgery. Beside daily sick-calls, shots, and treatment of accident victims, the Work of the department also involves an operating room, pharmacy, laboratory, a sixty-bed Ward for in-patient treatment, X-ray and optometry service, a supply department, and a record office Where complete health records are maintained for every man aboard ship. Lectures and demonstrations covering first-aid, personal hygiene, sanitation, and survival are presented in conjun- tion with the training office. The responsibilities of the department do not, however, end with the care of the ship's company and air group alone. Smaller vessels of the fleet lack extensive medical facilities and therefore must depend on the availability- of LEX personnel and equipment to handle unusual or critical cases. R t PRACTICED HANDS, modern tech- niques and equipment, make ton- silectomy routine operation aboard' LEX. ,
