With the assist- ance of numerous secretaries, she types and binds all records on hospital and out patients and tiles them for permanent reference. The Record Room's standards meet the most rigid requirements of the American Medical Association. Dictaphones are supplied so that the doctors may leave very complete notes on all patients in a short time. DIETETICS Witli the direction of Miss Rosin Vance, the dieti- tians prepare and serve all meals to the patients, nurses and doctors. Besides the regular house diets, they also serve any special diet that may be necessary for a particular patient and give consultation on special feeding problems. It is because of the work of this group that an adequate and efficient dietary routine can be served in this hospital. PHARMACY The department of pharmacy is headed by Mr. E. W. Rollins who organized it in 1942. With the assistance of Miss Virginia Caudle, all the pharmacy's own compounding is done. It now occupies a large room on the First Hoor of the hospital, but plans for the new wing of the hospital include rooms for the ex- pansion of the pharmacy. CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY The laboratory ot' clinical endocrinology was establish- ed for the more specialized biologic tests. Here, also, research is done of various special problems of inter- departmental interest. The work is now being done by Dr. Richard Myers with the technical assistance of Miss Carolyn Stout. ,T 7,11-zvw-5. W 4
