Mrs. Ethel Bushey Supervisor of 4111 Floor DEAR DIARY In rummaging through my footflocker the other day, I unearthed a little black volume which brought back a wealth of faded memo' ries. In leafing through the yellovved pages, I ran across many anecdotes, now scarcely legible, which were worthy of being set in stone, so to speak-at least of being given more permanence than that of mere ink notes. These little experiences armed us for the future: posterity may well look over this sketchy record and smile, be it with pity or with sheer amusement, but these were the stepping stones over which we all passed in the attainment of a common goal. Many is the time that I have squirmed on the office bench, to no good end. Today my anxiety was so unnecessaryg the dreaded summons to the office was merely to assign me to a new location-4th floor. Here, I work extremely hard-but the variety of experience is most enlightening. The tempo is terrific-by noonftime, my arches need more than consolation, and by 7 P.M., I think that I might well be a pa' tient myself. Today, I was kept running from the oxygen to the continuous I.V. and back again. The climax came when I was none too gently reminded 'Did your patient on the solarium soak his feet today?' Some-I times, I think that I can't go on. I . lu. D JV, f in 4, .-, If m f, ', Q ,, W T 3 III I 4 1 W5ifll 1nnimi1 v I f rt' g 4 a

MEDICINE and SURGERY Medicine and Surgery on 3rd floor is practically the same as it is on 4th, but, oh such a difference. One day down here and I know that I'm going to work in this depart' ment forever when I'm a graduate. fGuess that it must have been Sundayj Still the same monotonous schedule of morning care followed up with a dash of p.m. care but with a little glamor of private rooms, etc., thrown in. Itls funny, hut, somehow, at 7 P.M., I feel that, perhaps, I should he a patient. Q 35 Q Q p P All Ninetee Mar Supervisor 2' 5 3 I fs: gf' 1 y Howard of 3rd Floor i 5 iff!
