In a medical climate where many hospitals have begun to sweat under the heat of DRG's and other financial stresses - being forced in some cases to close entire wards or cut inpatient services, LUMC emerges as a glaring exception. The growing momentum Loyola's reputation has enjoyed in recent years has helped through plans for the long-awaited surgical wing to the south of Foster McGaw Hospital. While groundbreaking actually took place in October of 1983, bitter winters, unforseen construc- tion difficulties, and other factors have delayed completion of the expansion. While the addition is referred to in local vernacular as the surgical wing, many various departments and services will make the building their home. Such departments include Medical Records, Diagnostic Radiology, Pharmacy, Respiratory Therapy, and Cardiographics. The building will also house a new Cardiac Catheterization Lab, the Nuclear Medicine in vivo lab, Surgical PatholOgY, and other departments. While design of the facility has placed emphasis on prepared- ness for future growth and development of ancillary services, the primary thrust behind the present expansion has always been modernization of surgery and intenstive care. The building will include 16 operating rooms, a 50-bed neonatal care unit, and two Surgical Intensive Care units of 24 and 16 beds each. As the new wing was designed to modernize the care available to Loyola rather than to increase patient-care volume, these new units only slightly enlarge the bed-capacity of Loyola. The facility is comprised of 9 levels, two of which are below ground. Construction is scheduled to be complete in November 1986 but the moving departments are not expected to be situated t'l F b f1987. un I e mary 0 Where we learned 21

, i VETEF ANS ADMINISTRATION HOSPITAL Write an order, and you write it to yourself, because you are the only one who will look at the order sheet. Whether it was Surgery, Psych, Neurology, or Medicine I or II, Hines was a nightmare of busywork, inefficient labs, and cigarette smoke-but full of those unforgettable characters we called the Vets. St. Francis, Loyola's north- 'U - A W 'Ai' ern branch, was home to Surgery, Medicine I 8z II, and Ob-Gyne clerks. A few tid-bits to remember tor forgetl: Plunkett Hall, great. 45 cafeteria food, Plunkett Hall cockroaches, Lois, 5- ..,', North blood draws, the best nurses, commuting, pa' tients 65 and over tway Q Q5 overl, and the dreaded OB T If clinic. 5'-+2lQ'Q'- 29 ' .:,xAl- A ,f-V ' QI Ls-t Be it Surgery, Ob-Gyne, or Med II, Resurrection was a place where you enjoyed the luxuries of a private hospital, but endured the workload of two private docs. 1 Mercy nosoimana Mmleafcmm fy a Ill E Q Five minut.es from McCormick Place by foot and a fortune cookie's throw from Chinatown, Mercy Hospital can be remembered for a good cafeteria, busy clinics, and U. of I. students. Both Ob-Gyne and Pediatrics clerks had plenty of first-hand experience with newborn patients.
