Sixty -First Annual Report

NEW YORK

THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL

T^OR sixty years The Roosevelt Hospital has followed the

ideal set for it by its Founder : the relief of the sick and the injured. It has been privileged to have as Consulting and Attending Physicians and Surgeons men who have been largely responsible for the advancement of their profession in the City of New York.

The present economic conditions have seriously affected

The Roosevelt Hospital in that its income from endowments has been curtailed, and at the same time the demands upon its services have been increased. Poverty and sickness go hand in hand, and The Roosevelt Hospital would be derelict in keeping faith with its Founder and those who have provided its endowments should it in any way fail in its duty and responsibility to the community.

During the year 1932 over 44,000 patients were treated in all the departments of the Hospital, with 35,299 free and 20,039 Part Pa id day’s care.

It is too much to believe that those who have benefited from the ministrations of The Roosevelt Hospital and those who have its interests at heart will not want to have their share in helping the Hospital meet its responsibilities and carry forward its humanitarian service for the poor of the City of New York.

The laboratory tests, which showed a large increase in interest and numbers over the preceding year, were the Asheim-Zondek and Blood Sedimentation Rates. The former accounted for the greater number of Animal Inoculations. Aside from a few changes in technique there were no new procedures undertaken. The laboratory staff remained the same throughout the year and the apparatus was kept in its usual good state of repair and replenishment.

During the year we record with sorrow the death of two valued employees, Mr. Robert E. Heier, Chief Clerk, who died on April 17, 1932, and Mr. Sterling Averell, Chef, who died on October 31, 1932. Each, in their respective places, demonstrated a keen interest and devotion to the institution and shall be greatly missed for their valued services in the hospital. Respectfully submitted, George W. M. Stock, Superintendent School of Nursing To the Board of Trustees Gentlemen: I have the honor to present the 36th Annual Report of the School of Nursing for the year ending December 31, 1932. The School has been fortunate in having no changes in its Faculty and but few in the Head Nurse Staff. The appointment by the Medical Board of the Curriculum Committee is of distinct value in our Educational Program. Weekly meetings have been held with the Faculty and it is planned to include Supervisors, Head Nurses and Medical Lecturers. To give every student experience in mental and nervous nursing an affiliation was made with the Neurological Institute at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. Sixteen nurses are now sent each year to that institution and twelve to Bloom- ingdale Hospital at White Plains. Every student is also given two months’ experience in public health nursing at the Henry Street Visiting Nurse Serv- ice, or three months’ experience in communicable diseases at the Willard Parker Hospital. The length of service in the Diet Kitchen has been changed from one to two months, and has resulted in increased interest in this important department of the hospital. Two students are now regularly assigned to Dispensary, Compensation Clinic and Emergency Unit. No commencement exercises were held in 1931 due to the change to a three-year course. During the past year the contentment and school spirit has shown the value of extra curricula activities. Swimming, gymnasium and basketball classes have been under instruction at the American Woman’s Association. The swimming team won the A. W. A. trophy for the third successive time and this silver loving cup is now in Roosevelt’s permanent posses- sion. Tennis tournaments were held on the hospital courts during the summer, and organized hikes during September and October. A glee club was also formed for graduates and students. » 18 Room

Sixty-First Annual Report 19

The registry for graduates of the School has felt the depression keenly, but we are justly proud of the spirit shown by every enrolled member. The Alumnae Association, with Miss Minnie St. Claire MacLeod as President, continues to maintain among the graduates a real spirit of fellowship and service. Five hundred and thirty-seven days of hospital care were given to members of the Alumnae during 1932. The resignation of Miss Harriet Jane Smith as Editor of the Review was accepted with sincere regret. Under the new Editor, Miss Sarah A. Oldham, Class of 1922, this important magazine continues to be of inestimable value to the School of Nursing and to our graduates in all parts of the world. Two graduates of the School were removed from our midst by death. Miss Dorothy Brown, Class of 1923, and Mrs. George Hartwell (Marguerite Blache), Class of 1920. To the Board of Trustees, the Attending Staff, the House Staff, the Nursing Staff and our many graduates we are deeply indebted for their loyalty and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, A. Isabelle Byrne, r.n., Director School of Nursing : :

The detailed tabulated statistics are on file in the Record Room of the Hospital, and may be consulted by physicians interested in medical and surgical cases. 20 An Allergy Clinic at Roosevelt Hospital

' 'he Allergy Clinic was opened at the Roosevelt Hospital on | -*• July i, 1932. In this, the first report of the Clinic, it may be interesting, as a matter of record, to mention something of the history of this organization. This is the same unit that formerly functioned at the old New York Hospital. It was started there in 1918 and it has the distinction of being the first clinic ever established for the diagnosis, treatment and study of the various manifestations of allergy. As the plans for the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical

Center were maturing, it was felt that a unit of the size and scope of its Allergy Department more than fulfilled the teaching requirements of the new Center. However, it was deemed important to continue the clinic as a unit, both on account of the evident public need shown by the large attendance and because of the important contributions by this unit to the field of allergy. Fortunately at this time Roosevelt Hospital was planning to enlarge the facilities of its Out-Patient Department by

utilizing the entire first floor of its private patients’ pavilion. They extended an invitation to the Allergy Clinic of the New York Hospital to transfer the entire unit to these new quarters, which were reconstructed and especially fitted with the necessary laboratories, operating rooms and treatment rooms. The Board of Governors of New York Hospital accepted this invitation for the entire unit with its staff, equipment and histories, and in addition very generously transferred to the Roosevelt Hospital the endowment funds which had accrued to the Clinic in the past. These funds allowed the necessary alterations to be made without expense to The Roosevelt Hos- pital. In addition to the facilities mentioned, those of the Hos- pital wards, laboratories and operating rooms have been made available to the Allergy Clinic. This has resulted in giving 21 22 The Roosevelt Hospital

the Department of Allergy extensive and unexcelled facilities for the treatment of patients, for research work and for teaching. The Medical Staff, in connection with the Clinic, consists of eighteen physicians each of whom serves at two clinic sessions a week. Dr. Grove is the rhinologist for the special Nose and Throat Department of the Clinic. The Nursing Staff of the Clinic is under the capable direction of Miss Spahn. The social service work is carried out by Miss Bonis. The laboratories, under the general direction of Dr. Stull, carry on special chemical, bacteriological and immunological work in connection with the Clinic. From the first of July to the end of the year 1932, 1,350 patients had registered with the Clinic, with total attendance of 31,000 visits or an average of 150 patients per Clinic session. This Clinic, since its inception in 1918, has been entirely self-supporting. The income is derived from small fees charged to the patients who can afford to pay. The general economic conditions have affected the income of the Clinic during the past year, but there is no reason to feel any undue apprehension with regard to the financial status. In particular, we wish to express our appreciation for the cordial and complete cooperation that has been given to the Clinic on all sides. Robert A. Cooke, m.d., Director :

The activities and resources of the Bureau were taxed to the utmost during the year in the effort to meet some of the 30 The Roosevelt Hospital unlimited demands of the sick, unemployed and destitute ones seeking free medical care and assistance. The year, too, has brought its losses and gains. Donors, who have contributed Christmas dinners for years past and assisted in other ways, cut us off completely due to financial re- verses. Happily the loss was made up in part by others who contributed to the Christmas Fund. The food and clothing tickets contributed by the American Red Cross has helped out wonderfully. We have been able to assist unemployed clinic and hospital patients, which were not receiving any relief or relief too inadequate to provide proper nourishment. From the generous supply of clothing contributed, we have clothed men and women young and old, in every station in life. A high school boy, overgrown and underweight, came to us almost in tears over his shabby, ragged clothes, his widowed mother was unable any longer to meet the needs of the home with her needle. The boy left the office radiant with happiness, clad in a comparatively new suit, which fitted him to perfection. The gift of a thoughtful friend. We wish to express our sincere thanks to those who have helped us in bringing a measure of happiness to the homes of those who, through the depression, have been reduced to abject poverty. Twelve volunteer workers not only increased the efficiency of the clinics in which they worked, but gave more of their time cheerfully collecting clothing for us which helped the department considerably.

THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL

N PRESENTING the Annual Report of The Roosevelt Hos- I pital for the year 1933, the Trustees are mindful of the great responsibility resting upon those whose duty and privilege it is to carry on a Volunteer Hospital.

The demand for free and part-pay care increases in an alarming proportion during periods of economic distress and causes a serious financial problem for any Hospital, and the Trustees of The Roosevelt Hospital, while sympathetic to the need, are faced with a difficult situation.

In looking forward to 1934, they realize that with a decreased income, they will be called upon to provide the Sick Poor of the City with an added proportion of free care. This year marks a 70th Anniversary for The Roosevelt Hos- pital, and the Trustees hope that its many friends may wish to show their appreciation of its ministrations by financially assisting the constructive service it is qualified to render.

18 To the Board of Trustees Gentlemen:

I have the honor to present the 37th Annual Report of the School of Nursing for the year of 1933. In June the position of Supervisor of Syms Operating Amphi- theatre became vacant through the illness and later death of Miss Elsie May Galloway. A graduate of the Class of 1906, Miss Gal- loway gave twenty-seven years of loyal service to her Alma Mater. Miss Theo Lucile Bunce, Class of 1920, assistant to Miss Galloway for twelve years, has been appointed Supervisor. To increase the interest of the general duty nurse, who is a very important factor of the hospital staff, a rotating service was started in September, its aim being to give graduate nurses experience in Emergency, Out-Patient, and Ear, Nose and Throat Departments. In April, the Trustees authorized the establishment of the Cen- tral Supply Room. Miss Irene McCarron, Class of 1917, organized and is in charge of this important department. In January, the Board of Trustees voted to discontinue the granting of an allowance to student nurses and to require a registration fee of $50 from preliminary students. The Student Gov- ernment Association is now functioning, and we are looking forward to its sponsoring of all student activities. Swimming and gymnasium classes have been under instruction at the American Women’s Association. The Commencement Exercises of the Class of 1933 of the School of Nursing were held at the American Women’s Associa- tion Clubhouse, 361 West 57th Street, on May 18th. Twenty-five nurses received the diploma of the School. The address to the class was given by John H. Finley, LL.D. The Registry for graduates of the School is still feeling the depression, but the same splendid spirit predominates. To the Board of Trustees, the Attending Staff, the House Staff, the Nursing Staff and our many graduates we are deeply indebted for their loyalty and cooperation.

Respectfully submitted, A. Isabelle Byrne, R.N., Director School of Nursing.

Annual Report for the Year 1933

Last year’s report of the Allergy Department covered but six months’ operation at the Roosevelt Hospital. This is the first report covering a full year’s activity. The Clinic has conducted 197 sessions, with a total attendance of 27,289, or an average of 138 patients per clinic. Four hundred and seventy-five new cases have been registered. Fifty-five cases have been admitted to the Hospital wards during the year. There are nineteen physicians on the Clinic staff, each of whom serves at two clinics a week. The special Nose and Throat Clinic of the Department, under Dr. R. C. Grove, has held 87 clinics, with a total attendance of 1,240. Two hundred and eighty-three new cases have been registered. There have been 53 operations, 18 under local and 35 under general anesthetic. Social Service work is carried out by Miss Bonis. Investigation is made of all cases applying to the Clinic, and particularly those regarding whom there is any question of their right to such clinic service. The needy and sick are visited in their homes for aid and instruction, and cases needing hospital care and charitable assistance are put in the care of the proper agencies. The laboratory is under the direction of Dr. Stull, with Miss Downing as bacteriologist and Miss Tennant as chemist. All of the extracts used in the Clinic for testing and treatment are spe- cially prepared in the laboratory. During the year 167 different extracts have been prepared, and over 7,000 various dilutions of these have been bottled for use. Sterility tests have shown but 2.5 per cent of contaminations, which speaks worlds for the technique in the handling of extracts where sterility is of prime importance.

Research : One of the important problems in allergy related particularly to the question of hay fever has been the chemical nature of the allergen and the standardization of pollen extracts. We had started on this problem while still at the New York Hospital, but it has been brought to a satisfactory conclusion during the past year. The allergic substance has been identified as an albuminous protein, and a method has been devised for standardizing pollen extracts on a protein nitrogen basis with a protein unit empirically set at 0.00001 mgm. of Protein Nitrogen. The results of this work have been published and are included in the list of publications. 22 : :: ::

OF THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL 23

Our present research is directed toward a solution of the deeper problem of the nature of the immuno-chemical reaction in allergic individuals. The Department was also invited to and participated in the ex- hibition at the Graduate Fortnightly at the New York Academy of Medicine. Materials, charts and photographs pertaining to various aspects of allergy were presented. During this past year we have started a collection of monographs and books on the subject of allergy, with a table and author index of all publications related to allergy. Publications during the past year by members of the Department are as follows

1. Cooke, Robert A. Gastro-Intestinal Manifestations of Allergy. Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 1933, IX, 15-24. 2. Cooke, Robert A., and Stull, Arthur The Preparation and Standardization of Pollen Extracts for the Treatment of Hay Fever. J. Allergy, 1933, IV, 87. 3. Cooke, Robert A., Vander Veer, A., and Barnard, J. H.: The Treatment of Hay Fever with Standardized Pollen Extracts Based on the New Unit of Protein Nitrogen. J. Allergy, 1933, IV, 163-168. 4. Stull, Arthur, Cooke, Robert A., and Tennant, Jean: The Allergen Content of Pollen Extracts. Its Determination and Its Deterioration. J. Allergy, 1933, IV, 455. 5. Cooke, Robert A. Hay Fever (Allergic Coryza. Vasomotor Rhinitis). Cecil's Revised Textbook of Medicine, 1933, Philadelphia, W. B. Saunders and Co. 6. Grove, R. C., and Cooke, Robert A. Etiology and Nature of Chronic Hyperplastic Sinusitis. Archives of Otolaryngology, 1933, XVIII, 622-629. 7. Cooke, Robert A. Asthma in Children: Its Causes and Treatment. J. A. M. A. (in press). 8. Cooke, Robert A.

Diseases of Allergy. Textbook of Internal Medicine, edited by J. H. Musser, M.D., 1932, Philadelphia, Lea and Febiger.

We wish again to state our appreciation of the sympathetic cooperation received, and we in our turn are anxious to extend whatever assistance we can to any of the various departments that need our services. Respectfully submitted, Robert A. Cooke, M.D., Director. •

A Library Service for the Ward patients has been organized under the direction of Mrs. Mohun. A group of volunteers organized by Mrs. H. C. Taylor, Jr., in December for recreational therapy in the Wards is working three days per week, and a volunteer trained in occupational therapy is giving instruction to the men. A teacher from the Board of Education has been secured to instruct the children of school age. The work of the volunteers has been varied. It has consisted of such duties as typing, interviewing patients in the Social Service Department, and work in thirteen Clinics in the Out-Patient De- partment. At Christmas, they decorated trees and helped at the two parties given for the Ward and O. P. D. children. A dance was given by Miss Jean L. Flagler for the Social Serv- ice Fund at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Harkness Flagler where a most welcome sum was realized. Mrs. Edward Klauber obtained the entertainers.

Miss Low, a former patient, and some of her friends interested themselves in one of our poor families, providing them with food, clothing, etc. Food and clothing tickets for thirty families were contributed by the Red Cross and by the Emergency Work and Relief Administration. A circus party was given to fifty of our children ; and twenty-five children were given a party at the Rodeo through the kindness of Mr. Robert Elliott, the manager. Dr. Philip Van Ingen gave $20.00 for oranges, and also haliver oil for our poor children. The Free Milk Fund has supplied us :

Sixty -^hird ^Annual ^Report

NEW YORK

THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL

N PRESENTING this Report of The Roosevelt Hospital for the year 1934, we desire to express our sincere thanks to all I those whose labors and unselfish devotion have enabled the Trustees to carry forward the work of the Hospital in administer- ing to the “Sick Poor of the City of New York.”

With the closing of other Hospitals on the West Side, an added and increasing burden has been imposed upon The Roosevelt Hos- pital. Greater demands for free care in the Wards and Clinics have of necessity caused deep concern and a sympathetic understanding of the problems at our door, and forced us to reevaluate our own Service.

Two major and compelling needs confront this Hospital to-day:

The necessity for raising additional funds to assist in more nearly covering the increased cost of Free Care

and

The need for the construction of a New Building to more adequately house the various growing Services of the Institution.

The Roosevelt Hospital must depend upon those who have bene- fitted through its ministrations, those who believe in its distinctive type of hospitalization, and those who are desirous of perpetuating a work devoted to the Sick Poor of this City. FOR THE TRUSTEES,

It Was Such a Little Stone That I Threw, Doctor! REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT

I beg to present herewith the sixty-third annual report of the Hospital for the year ending December 31, 1934. The past year has been marked by certain administrative changes, the reorganization of the Social Service Department, the Depart- ments of Oto-Laryngology and Urology, the Dietary Department and the Compensation Clinic, a number of structural changes and the addition of a considerable amount of new equipment. All of this has enabled us, I believe, to render a more efficient type of service.

On March 15th, Miss Margaret Nichols assumed the Director- ship of the Social Service Department. With three trained workers in addition to the Director, the Wards and the Out-Patient Department are completely covered and a high standard of work is being maintained. An efficient staff of Volunteer Workers, in the Wards and the Out-Patient Department, has been ably directed by Mrs. Stuart M. Crocker, Chairman of the Social Service Committee. Their faithful work has been of great assistance to the Administration, to the Medical Staff, and has contributed much to the well-being of the patients.

Upon the retirement of Doctor Hampton P. Howell on August first, as Director of the Department of Oto-Laryngology, Doctor George R. Brighton was appointed to succeed him. Under Doctor Brighton the Department has been completely reorganized both on the Wards and in the Out-Patient Department and the Clinic Staff increased. The Clinic quarters were completely reconstructed and reequipped, and a large room with four examining and treatment cubicles furnished with the most modern standard equipment. A special operating room was designed and equipped for the Depart- ment in the Syms Building.

Following the untimely death last summer of Doctor Edward F. Kilbane, Doctor Simon A. Beisler was appointed to succeed him as Director of the Department of Urology, with a subsequent complete reorganization of the Department and the installation of much new equipment. A new Genito-Urinary X-Ray Unit, a new Cystoscopic Table, and a new Electro-Surgical Unit were provided for the Department. A Urological Clinic open every morning was added to the Out-Patient Department and two rooms were completely reequipped for this work. On Ward II, nine beds were provided with vacuum lines for the use of the Department and six rooms on the fifth floor of the Private Pavilion were similarly equipped. 13 14 SIXTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

Certain changes in organization were effected in the Dietary Department and the entire supervision of the preparation and serving of all food except special diets was assigned to the Steward. Centralization in this Department has resulted in improvement in the service and economy in operation.

The Compensation Clinic was completely reorganized in April of the current year, which has resulted in greater efficiency of operation and a substantial increase in receipts as compared with the previous year. In the Ward Building, the Utility Room and the Treatment Room on each of eight floors was tiled from floor to ceiling with white tile. In the Syms Sterilizing Unit, a hood and exhaust fan system was installed, which has added greatly to both efficiency and comfort in this Unit. A new scrub-up room and a new shower and locker room were provided in the Syms Building for the Surgical Staff and a new locker room for the Courtesy Sur- gical Staff. In addition, a new anesthetizing room for private patients was provided. These, together with the new Operating Room for the Department of Oto-Laryngology, were gifts to the Hospital in honor of Doctor James I. Russell, Director of the Surgical Service, by a group of his friends.

On April first, the eight-hour day for special duty nurses was inaugurated for a period of trial. It has proved entirely acceptable to patients, the Attending Staff and to the nurses, and will be continued permanently.

On February 1, 1934, an Educational Department was added to the Hospital under the supervision of Miss Marjorie McGinnis, an especially trained teacher from the New York City Department of Education. Miss McGinnis spends two days each week on the children’s wards teaching and directing the continuation of the patients’ school work. The regular school curriculum is followed and the children are able to return to their classes upon discharge from the hospital without suffering from the loss of time incident to their stay in the Wards. During the past year 103 children have been under instruction. During the year a Clinic was established in the Out-Patient Department for the physical examination of all applicants for employment in the Hospital. All new personnel are required to pass a physical examination before they may be accepted for employment. Meetings were held in the Hospital during the year by the following medical organizations. On November 2d, the physicians attending the Graduate Fortnight of the New York Academy of Medicine were present at a series of Medical and Surgical Clinics presented by the Staff.

The New York Surgical Society held its annual meeting and clinics in the Roosevelt Hospital in November. The New York Society of Anesthetists also held a meeting at the Hospital.

In the Out-Patient Department there were 8,370 more visits than in 1933, and there were 378 more visits in the Emergency Department.

During the latter part of the year, a Rectal Clinic was added to the existing Clinics. In the Dental Clinic a dental hygienist was employed and another clinic session was added, making two sessions per week. The Urological Clinic was reorganized and two rooms were newly equipped and assigned to the Department. Clinic sessions are held each morning of the week.

A new Fluoroscopic Unit was installed during the latter part of the year for the use of the entire Out-Patient Department.

A trained Social Service worker was assigned to full time duty and a trained registrar was employed, who, in conjunction with the Social Service Department, establishes the status of all new admissions and serves as liason officer between the several Clinics. Each Clinic was covered by a Social Service Volunteer, serving in the capacity of Clinic Clerk. The Out-Patient Department was open for 303 days during the year, and the average daily visits was 201, a daily increase of 27 over the previous year.

Special reports by the heads of various departments are presented elsewhere in this volume and should be read carefully for a more comprehensive picture of the Hospital’s activities. The year just ended has been an active and busy one in all departments of the Hospital.

In closing my report, may I express my grateful appreciation of the advice and support so generously accorded me at all times. I am deeply appreciative of the loyalty and splendid cooperation of the staff and of all officers and employees, without which the past year’s accomplishments would not have been possible. To all who have contributed in any way, by gifts of books, clothing or by money in either small or larger amounts, we are deeply grateful. Such gifts have been of very real service and have encouraged us to feel that our efforts are appreciated and that we may rely on public support in even larger measure in the future.

Chas. C. Hedges, Superintendent. :

The Roosevelt Hospital opened on September 7, 1934, in the Syms Operating Amphitheatre a complete new Unit, comprising Scrub-up Rooms, Showers and Lockers for the Surgical Division, and an Oto-Laryngological Operating Room. This new installation and equipment, of the most modern type, was made possible through the generosity of the friends of Doctor James I. Russell, Director of the Surgical Service at The Roosevelt Hospital, with which he has been affiliated for the past thirty years.

A bronze tablet, the gift of The Boyd Janoff Company, was placed outside the rooms, reading

1934 THESE ROOMS HAVE BEEN REBUILT AND EQUIPPED BY FRIENDS OF

20 REPORT OF THE MEDICAL BOARD

I beg to present herewith the report of the Medical Board for the year ending December 31, 1934. The splendid opportunities for medical instruction offered by the large amount of clinical material entering the Hospital have been utilized to the best ad- vantage. Monthly clinical conferences have been held for the Attending and House Staffs at which each service has presented its most instructive cases. These conferences have also been sup- plemented by monthly Pathological Conferences. The Hospital attendance has been augmented by a large group of our alumni and by those physicians who frequently send cases to the Hospital. Instruction of undergraduate students from the College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons in special elective courses arranged through the Dean has been continued throughout the school year on both the Surgical and the Gynecological Services. The hospital staff also participated in the postgraduate teaching of the Graduate Fortnight of the Academy of Medicine by arranging an extensive clinic which was well attended. The Medical Board has endeavored to encourage scientific investigation and publication of articles by the hospital staff and has established a Committee on Publication to direct this work. A well-chosen library of books, periodicals and reprints has been steadily growing during the past few years so that the House Staff now has an adequate reference library. The Medical Board has also established a Committee on Historical Documents whose duty it will be to search out and preserve all valuable records of the Hospital, many of which mark important milestones of medical progress. The Junior Attending Staff together with other physicians from the Out-Patient Department have been organized into the Junior Medical Board, which meets monthly. Through the meetings of this board a closer cooperation between all members of the Staff has resulted. The Rules of Standard Procedures has been completely revised and reprinted which has made for greater efficiency and uniformity in treatment. The Hospital Pharmacopeia has been reedited during the year.

The organization of a Central Supply Room begun last year, has been extended until now practically all sterile and unsterile supplies for the whole Hospital are prepared and issued through this Department. This has rapidly developed into one of the most important units of the Hospital and the plan is being adopted in many other institutions. Intravenous solutions and transfusion 21 :

22 SIXTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT and infusion sets have been improved so that reactions now are extremely rare. By eliminating preparation of supplies from the Ward routine of the nursing personnel efficiency in the care of patients has been greatly increased. Complete daily records of the work of the Central Supply Room are on file and may be consulted by those interested. During the year, 3,765 intravenous infusions and 327 blood transfusions were done without serious reaction. One of the most important services the Hospital Staff can render its patients is the proper recognition of physicians referring cases to the Hospital, and the offering of all possible assistance to them in the diagnosis and treatment of their patients. A plan has been evolved whereby these physicians are notified at once of the admission of their patients and a resume of the diagnosis and treatment is mailed to them when these patients are discharged from the Wards. Statistics of the work done in the various divisions of the Hos- pital during the year 1934, follows :

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL OF NURSING

Herewith is presented the 38th Annual Report of the School of Nursing for the year 1934. Such advancements as have been made, with the idea of improving our nursing service, were accomplished only through active cooperation from the Board of Trus- tees, from the Attending and House Staffs, and from the Nursing Staff. To all these I am deeply indebted for their most loyal support. The following changes were made in the Officers and Supervis- ing Staff of the School Ruby Murray, 1915, was transferred from the position of Night Supervisor, School of Nursing Staff, to Syms Operating Room, and this vacacy was filled by Margaret B. Harriman, 1926. Char- lotte P. Farrell, 1926, was appointed Science Instructor, replacing Miss Harriman. Clara Meyer, 1928, Pediatric Supervisor, resigned to complete work for a B.S. degree, at the University of Minnesota. Eleanor Bischoff, 1929, formerly in charge of Ward VI, completed the laboratory course given by Doctor Thomas S. Winslow offered under terms of the James W. McLane Endow- ment Fund. Commencement exercises of the Class of 1934, were held in the Ballroom of the American Woman’s Association Clubhouse, 361 West 57th Street, on Thursday, May 17th. Twenty-one nurses received the diploma of the School. The address to the class was

given by Mr. Thomas J. Watson, member of the Board of Trus- tees. A reception to members of the class and their guests was held on the second floor of the Ward Building. Many of our nurses are pursuing studies in advanced nursing courses, pointing to the fact that they are realizing the importance of additional preparation for nursing positions. Seventy-nine graduate nurses and the entire student body registered for the fifteen-hour course in Current Events, conducted by Doctor Paul Van Orden Shaw, Instructor in History, Columbia University. This course proved of such interest that plans are

under way for the repetition of it in the fall. A weekly course in Staff Education was given on Monday afternoons by Evelyn Fraser, Assistant Director, to the Head Nurses and their Assistants.

On April first, a plan of eight-hour duty for the special duty nurses was inaugurated for a trial of three months. Success of the plan warranted its permanent adoption, and the Registry has been considerably more active since the change. In October, the eight-hour duty was established for students. 25 26 SIXTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

Swimming and gymnasium classes were continued in the A. W. A. Physical Education Department. Swimming is particularly popular with members of the preliminary class, and ten members are now qualifying, under instruction, for the Senior Red Cross Life-Saving Test. The health of our students and staff members has been excep- tionally good, and we feel especially grateful to Doctor Irving for his generous interest and professional care. The assistance of the Social Service Department has simplified the work of the Nursing Service. The value to patients of the occupational therapy and free library service during convalescence cannot be overestimated, while release of the time of the nurses for essential duties with the more serious cases has made for greater efficiency of the nursing service in the Wards.

The Volunteers supplied and decorated Christmas trees for all the Wards, and in many other ways contributed greatly to the happy Christmas spirit throughout the Hospital.

The Roosevelt Review continues as the official Alumnae organ. It is published at a slight loss in money, but ways and means are being considered in which to finance it more successfully. The Review, as a medium through which we reach our graduates, has proved an important help to the School of Nursing. We are grateful, indeed, to the Alumnae Association for sponsoring this publication. Its policies are truly representative of Roosevelt traditions. An economy program has been seriously considered by the School of Nursing, and cooperation of the nursing service toward meeting the hospital budget is assured. Again, I wish to express my sincere appreciation of the willing support given by all whose help is so necessary in the functioning of our School. A. Isabelle Byrne, R.N., Director, School of Nursing. REPORT OF THE X-RAY DEPARTMENT

A resume of the work of the X-Ray Department for the year 1934, shows that 8,466 patients were referred to the Department for X-ray examination or for X-ray treatment. Of these, 8,119 were examined radiographically, and 347 patients were given 1,892 treatments in the X-Ray Therapy Department. One thousand one hundred and eighty-nine of the patients examined by X-ray were private patients, largely referred to the Department by members of the Hospital Staff. The remainder of the examinations are divided among the classifications of Ward, Out-Patient Department, Compensation Department and Allergy Clinic. Patients sent to the X-Ray Therapy Department during this period can be classified in number about equally into Private Patients, Ward and Recall Out-Patient Department cases. The care of all patients has to a marked degree been facilitated by the addition of modern X-ray equipment to the Radiographic and Therapy Departments during the past year. In March, 1934, a new X-Ray Therapy Shock Proof unit was purchased and installed, replacing a machine in use for the past ten years. The present machine, in addition to increasing the capacity of the Therapy Department for number of patients treated daily, has materially contributed to the comfort of these patients during treatment. The increased output of the present machine reduces the time of treatments by approximately 60 per cent, with improved quality of the radiation beam, due to higher filtration. The decrease in time of X-ray treatments has considerably lessened the amount of radiation sickness encountered in treatments with the previous X-Ray Therapy equipment.

By action of the Medical Board, it was decided that X-ray films and all X-ray records should be kept for an indefinite period of time instead of a limited period of five years, which has been the customary procedure. In order to accomplish this, an X-ray record room was fitted out with shelving and files of a storage capacity, for films and records for a period of seven years. This record room, in addition to previous facilities for X-ray files will give a capacity of approximately twelve years’ complete X-ray records. Along with the change in storage of X-ray records, a teaching file was begun which includes correlation of X-ray examinations and diagnoses of present records and which will automatically include a file of all interesting pathologic cases examined in the Department in the future. Other equipment added to the X-Ray Department during the past year includes a complete replacement of a Genito-Urinary X-ray machine and Cystoscopic Table, and a Shock Proof Portable 27 28 SIXTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT

Bedside X-ray unit. These machines supply a much needed want and are proving very satisfactory.

The modernization of practically all of the equipment of the X-Ray Department makes possible a better standard of radiographic work, with a minimum amount of discomfort to patients during examinations and treatments. The interest shown in the Department by members of the Hospital Staff and the financial support of the Board of Trustees during the past year, has been very gratifying. 1933 1934 Private Patients 307 327 Ward Patients 3,630 3,383 Out-Patients 1,464 1,725 Emergency Department Patients 1,871 1,922 Referred Patients 639 762

William H. Boone, M.D., Roentgenologist. REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ALLERGY

This report covers the second complete year of this Department at The Roosevelt Hospital. A statistical comparison of the work of the Clinic for the past two years is interesting.

General Clinic 1934 1933 Number of sessions 199 197 Total attendance 29,417 27,289 Number new cases registered 568 475 Number patients admitted to Hospital 78 55

We prefer to believe that this material increase in the demands for medical care is due to the careful study and satisfactory results obtained on that group of sick and disabled who properly belong in an Allergy Clinic. This work is done by twenty physicians who constitute the Clinic Staff. Miss Spahn’s Staff of clinical and nursing assistants remains un- changed. The successful management of such a large clinic is due entirely to her interest, tact and efficiency. Doctor Stull, Miss Downing and Miss Glidden constitute the laboratory force. During the year, 136 new Extracts were prepared and standardized on the Protein Nitrogen Unit which was developed by this Department last year and is now becoming generally adopted. Seven thousand one hundred and one (7,101) dilutions of these Extracts were prepared. Sterility tests showed but 1.3 per cent contaminations, which is an improvement over the already very excellent record of 2.5 per cent last year. One hundred and thirty-four (134) various other preparations were made and assembled for patch testing. Three hundred and thirty-five (335) cultures of tissues, sputa, skin, et cetera, were made and one hundred and twenty (120) autogenous vaccines prepared. A course in Allergy for Graduates in Medicine was given to six physicians. This is an intensive clinical and laboratory course for one month. The demand is such that the course will be given again this year.

Research problems continue to occupy an important place in the activities of the Department. Studies on the underlying nature of 29 :

Robert A. Cooke, M.D., Director. REPORT OF THE SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT

With the compilation of an annual statistical report, we are placed quite naturally in a stock taking position. The reorganization of the Department in March and the appointment of a staff of trained case workers led to a somewhat different interpretation of our function in relation to the Hospital as a whole. Previous to this, the major activity of the Department had been social investigation for the purpose of learning the economic and medical eligibility of clinic and hospital patients. Admission to the clinic or hospital is the responsibility of the Administrative Officer. Although this is often delegated by the Superintendent to the So- cial Service Department, and although when so delegated is a per- fectly legitimate function of the Department, it should not be carried on to the exclusion of social case work of such nature as will aid the physician in his treatment of the patient. Believing this latter service to be our first consideration, the Department was reorganized on a case working rather than a credit rating basis. We have set up administrative machinery which we believe will furnish a permanent foundation for the future development of the Department—one which is adapted to meet the social problems associated with the particular types of patients found here, one which meets recognized standards, and one which is capable of growth. The attached statistical report covering the nine months’ period from April 1 to December 31, 1934, requires very little explanation. There were 3,362 referrals for 1,406 individual patients. These 1,406 patients were considered new to the Department although, of course, many had been known to the Hospital and prob- ably to the previous department. The discrepancy in the total number of services rendered and the number of individual patients may be explained by the fact that one patient may be referred several times. Some are social treatment cases, which appear in our report month after month. The patients are classified as social treatment or minor service cases. A social treatment case is one in which the personality and environment of the patient is studied, a plan initiated, and the social problem treated in order that the medical plan may be carried out. Minor cases are those miscellaneous services sometimes called slight services which are not un- important and by no means lacking in the qualities of social case work. These are usually short term cases as compared with the social treatment case. For example, this service may mean an interpretation of the condition of the patient or an explanation of the doctors’ recommendations as to diet, amount of exercise, ability to work, etc., to the patient, his family, or the social agency 31 32 SIXTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT interested. It may involve interpreting the patient’s handicap to his employer so that an adjustment in the type of occupation may be effected. It may mean following certain cases of medical interest to make sure that they return for subsequent care or to learn the outcome of their treatment in the clinic or hospital. It may mean the adjustment of home situations so that the housewife or wage earner may enter the hospital for the care recommended. There were 1,104 field visits of which 870 were made in connection with case work for the social treatment cases and 234 for medical follow-up purposes. One hundred and thirty-nine (139) patients were given convalescent care. While this is but a very small proportion of our total number of patients, it is felt that this service is of importance to the physicians in assisting them to ob- tain the best medical results, especially under present social conditions. Since human values transcend statistics, brief summaries may give a more concrete meaning to the term “medical social case work.” The very nature of many diseases and the influence of a patient’s personality and environment demonstrates the importance of a close relationship between the medical and social treatment plans, for example, the importance of the social components of the clinical picture of a patient suffering from diabetes, a cardiac impairment, or an endocrin disturbance. An example of this is the patient suffering from hyperthyroid- ism, whose medical condition in the opinion of the clinic physician was such that a change of environment seemed imperative. Such a change involved separation from her husband and maintenance plans for herself and the three children. The Social Service De- partment made this possible. A study of her background and personality was made in order to determine what native resources she could draw on in making plans for her permanent independence. Temporary assistance was found to be necessary pending improvement in her physical condition. The Social Service Department gained the support and cooperation of the husband. A public relief agency was persuaded to take over her maintenance. The moving and living expenses necessary until the public relief became effective were made possible by a special gift obtained through the Department. While the original reason for referral has been carried out, Social Service will continue to be interested in the case until the patient is entirely adjusted. A second illustration is that of a homeless man, without occupation or resources, discharged from the ward following treatment for a fractured tibia. The medical plan called for bi-weekly visits to the Out-Patient Department over a prolonged period. His previous mode of living being incompatible with his disability, Social Service Department was asked to make arrangements so that con- OF THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL 33 tinuation of his medical care would be possible. Convalescent shelter care was arranged and transportation provided. Third, let us consider the social implications in the case of a fourteen-month-old baby under treatment on the ward for infant dehydration. Social investigation revealed poor home conditions, crowded living quarters with two families occupying the same flat, and an inadequate income. The mother worked, which meant physical neglect of the baby. The medical social plan included prolonged convalescent care of the patient after discharge from the ward and assistance from a public relief agency to supplement the mother’s earnings in order that living standards could be raised and the physical gains accomplished maintained after the patient was returned home. Lastly, the study of a high school boy with a cardiac impairment revealed many social problems in the home and in his community contacts which were detrimental to his medical progress. The most striking are the lack of complete understanding of the boy’s physical handicap both by his parents and the school and little vocational planning. The boy lived up four flights of stairs. The financial situation hindered any moving plans until the Social Serv- ice Department made use of appropriate community resources. The family now live on the ground floor. In school there were more stairs to climb and no opportunity for rest during the day. The school was visited and the boy now uses the elevator and has a long lunch hour during which he may rest. Continued contact and treatment will be necessary for future vocational, employment, and leisure activity plans. Of importance to the development of the Department are various special activities. Valuable from a preventive point of view, was the placement this summer of forty-three children for fresh air care, made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Humphrey Clarke. These twenty-four girls and nineteen boys were children whose medical condition in the opinion of clinic physicians was such that country care, fresh air, and extra nourishment seemed essential. The extra nourishment was especially necessary for those children who had been accustomed to school lunches. In November, warm clothing, stockings, shoes, galoshes, sweaters and coats were distributed to those cardiac children whom a survey had shown to be in need. The expense of this was borne by a special gift of $75.00 from Mrs. Humphrey Clarke, Mrs. Law- rence Van Ingen, Mrs. Maddison Lewis, and Mrs. Louis Watson. The Department was especially interested and enthusiastic in the ability to furnish these. Although the question of clothing is an important problem in the majority of our families, it becomes a serious one when the patient is a cardiac. We were able to furnish Christmas cheer to forty-one families, many of whom have been 3 34 SIXTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT known to the Hospital for some years. Dinners were provided for nineteen through the Hospital Christmas Fund. The New York American gave six dinners and toys for these children. The remaining sixteen were provided for in more complete and individual manner through special contributions to the Department. These sixteen families, who had been known to the Department for the past nine months because of their particular health problem, represented different types, all full of human interest, who in spite of the hard, depressing times, continue not only to keep their homes but are able in the face of worry and poverty to create a feeling of happiness in these homes. The Department has been especially fortunate in having the volunteer services of Miss Marjorie Eastwick and Miss Frances Brewster, whose conscientious assistance has been of inestimable value in helping us to carry the heavy volume of work in the Social Service Office. No Social Service Department can hope to carry on without the help of other agencies. We therefore take this opportunity to mention the cooperation and assistance of the many social organizations, convalescent homes, and shelters, who have made our work possible. We wish to mention in particular Miss Sinclair of Burke Foundation, Miss Smith of the Hospital Information Service, and Sister Mary Catherine of St. Andrew’s Convalescent Home. A list of those who have worked closely with us and have shown a willingness to help us at all times is attached. The fact that the Department is organized on a case working basis means that the social treatment involves financial relief. We are therefore very grateful for the support of the Social Service Committee, and to the Havens Fund for making this medical relief possible. The many intra- and extramural adjustments necessary to the integration of the Department with the Hospital as a whole, have been made possible in large measure through the whole-hearted spirit of cooperation on the part of the Medical Board, the Medical Stafif, The School of Nursing and the Administration Department.

I beg to submit the second annual report of the Social Service Committee. The past year has seen many changes and I am grati- fied to report on the progress made by this Department of the Hospital’s activities. As of March 15th Miss Margaret Nichols assumed the Direc- torship of the Social Service Department and her report speaks for itself. The Volunteer Service has improved during the year due to the interest of the chairmen of the three divisions : Mrs. Howard C. Taylor, Jr. —Wards; Mrs. John Chamberlin—Dispensary; Mrs. C. Peabody Mohun—Library. The Volunteer Shop was opened in May under the Chairman- ship of Mrs. Humphrey Clarke in the hope that it might provide additional funds for the general expenses of the Committee and has proved a profitable venture. Thanks to the cooperation of Mrs. Francis Carter Wood of the Church of the Ascension and of Mrs. Sweetzer of the Junior League, the Committee has been successful in obtaining the services of additional Volunteers. During the year the Volunteers have given over 5,000 hours of service in the Clinics and Wards. In addition to the work in the Dispensary, Wards and Library, two Volunteers served in the Office of the Department doing cler- 37 38 SIXTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT ical work and one Volunteer took the doctors’ routine notes. The Committee feel fortunate to have been able to do this work.

Sixty- Jourth clAnnual Report

NEW YORK

—

THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL

A DEQUATELY to present the report of a year’s progress in a hospital requires that we have imagination as well as an interest in this type of philanthropic endeavor, for at best such a report can only contain an outline.

A Voluntary Hospital of the non-teaching type, where the em- phasis is always upon the clinical care of the individual, still holds an essential and distinct place in the City.

With the advance in the knowledge of the care of the sick, with the use of new and more efficient methods, the cost of illness continually rises, and properly to care for the increasing load of Sick Poor has strained the resources of the Voluntary Hospitals to an alarming degree.

It is hoped that through education the citizens of New York may become more hospital conscious, for the past few years have proved beyond question the inability of the City Institutions to cope adequately with the illness incident to poverty and its appall- ing relative consequences.

Is it too much to hope that the necessary means will be provided

to enable The Roosevelt Hospital to carry on its work in a neighborhood sadly deficient in hospital facilities?

Two major problems face the Trustees at the present time:

The necessity for providing an additional endowment of Two Million Dollars to give the Hospital the funds necessary to absorb the great and increasing cost of free care in Ward and Dispensary.

The construction of a new building to provide facilities which the present equipment, now overtaxed, cannot supply.

There must be those among the many friends of The Roosevelt Hospital, who have benefited through its care and ministrations, and who in gratitude will wish to have a part in such a constructive undertaking. FOR THE TRUSTEES,

Emergency REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT

I beg to present, herewith, the sixty- fourth annual report of the Hospital for the year ending December 31, 1935.

A general advance in work was shown in all departments of the Hospital with an increase of 5,675 hospital days’ care. In the Out-Patient Department there were 3,787 more visits than in 1934. The capacity of the Bliss Pediatric Ward was increased from twenty to twenty-five beds by the use of the en- closed porch at the south end of this ward.

New equipment acquired during the year included a portable shock-proof Roentgenological Unit, two resuscitation units and an electric refrigerator for each of the pantries on the four floors of the Private Patient Pavilion. A similar electric refrigerator was provided for the Allergy Clinic.

During the year the Hospital was faced with increasingly heavy demands upon the Children’s Clinic in the Out-Patient Department, due largely to the closing of two Pediatric Hos- pitals in our neighborhood on the upper west side. A realiza- tion of our responsibility for the care of the children in our region resulted in generous gifts from the Board of Trustees which enabled us greatly to enlarge our Out-Patient Department space. One half of the lower floor of the Nurses’ Home was taken over to provide nine additional rooms and greatly increased waiting space. This space is used by the Urological, Fracture, and Physiotherapy Clinics in the mornings, and by the Pediatric and Gynaecological Clinics in the afternoons and also by the Children’s Cardiac Clinic. The entire unit was furnished with new equipment. Separate waiting space was provided for the Pediatric and Gynaecological patients. Early in the year a Cardiac Clinic for children was established, which has grown steadily until a total of seventy-five patients is being carried. Elaborate and intensive follow-up work is being conducted in this Clinic by the Social Service Department. In addition, Ortho- pedic, Vascular and Tumor Clinics were inaugurated during the year.

A rearrangement of the entire admitting and waiting space has added greatly to the efficiency of the admitting procedure and shortened the waiting time of patients. Separate offices have been provided for the Registrar and the Head Nurse.

13 14 SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

Through the Social Service Committee a volunteer Medical Secretary was secured for the wards and also two trained volunteer occupational therapists.

The need for increased space for the History Room and for the Staff Library had been felt for some time and this demand was met by the removal of the Special Nurses’ Lockers to the second floor of the Administration Building, and the utilization of the former locker room space for the History Room. This should afford adequate space for the hospital records for some years to come.

The Hospital became affiliated with the Associated Hospital Service of New York when it was organized in May, 1935, and began to receive patients under this plan shortly thereafter. They have steadily increased in number.

Application to the City of New York for inclusion in the City Budget for part pay of City cases was made during the past summer and was subsequently approved, participation in the

budget to become effective January 1, 1936. This should relieve somewhat the increasingly heavy demands made upon the Hos- pital for the free care of indigent patients. It will, however, impose a heavier load upon our Out-Patient and Social Service Departments.

A number of additions to the Attending, Consulting, and Out- Patient Staffs were made during the year.

The several special departmental reports are presented elsewhere in this volume and should be read carefully for a more comprehensive picture of the activities of the Hospital.

Report of the Department of Surgical Pathology The monthly pathological demonstrations inaugurated in 1933 were resumed during the year, and the regular attendance of the Professional Staff gratifying. These demonstrations were made possible through the loan of an epidiascope by Columbia Uni- versity. Several scientific contributions emanated from the Laboratory during the year, either independently or as adjunct to work done by the Staff. The long series of cases of cancer of the breast kept under observation by a member of the Attending Staff served as the material for a study of the relation between type of microscopic structure and success in surgical treatment in this field, which was published in the Annals of Surgery in August.

In bringing this report to a close may I express my grateful appreciation of the generous support accorded me at all times. I am deeply appreciative of the loyalty and splendid cooperation of the staff and of all officers and employees, without which the accomplishments of the past year would not have been possible. To all who have contributed in any way by gifts in either small or large amounts we are deeply grateful. Such gifts have been of very real service and have encouraged us to feel that our efforts are appreciated and to hope that we may rely on public support in even larger measure in the future.

Superintendent. REPORT OF THE MEDICAL BOARD

In submitting the following report for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1935, the Medical Board records its deep appreciation of the generosity and aid of the Board of Trustees and the splendid cooperation on the part of the Administrative and Nursing Per- sonnel of the Hospital. The facilities for treatment of patients throughout the Hospital have been maintained upon the same high standard of other years and important improvements in several departments have made possible an even greater efficiency in both medical and surgical care. The new unit opened in September 1934 in the Syms Operating Pavilion, including Scrub-up and Locker Rooms as well as an Oto-Laryngological Operating Room has proven a most satisfactory addition for all Surgical Divisions and has increased greatly the operating efficiency of this department. The additional space obtained for the Out-Patient Department by installing the Pedi- atric and Gynaecological Clinics in newly remodeled quarters in the basement floor of the Nurses’ Home has permitted a greater facility for handling the patients of these departments and has resulted in an increased census. The rapidly growing Urological Clinic will also occupy these new quarters. An Orthopedic Clinic, a Rectal Clinic, and a Tumor Clinic have been established and have added much to the effectiveness of the whole dispensary organization. The purchase of certain new equipment has given the Hospital Staff an increased opportunity for improved service to patients. A new Connell Anaesthesia unit for McLane Operating Room and the installation of two modern Resuscitation Machines in the Surgical Pavilions and Accident Room has added new safeguards for operative cases. The new portable shock-proof x-ray unit, by its safety and improved radiographs, has proved an invaluable aid in diagnosis throughout the Hospital. The new portable Elec- tro-Surgical apparatus has greatly benefited the Urological and Gynaecological Services and a new spirometer has assisted in modernizing the records of the Children’s Cardiac Clinic. The Central Supply Room, in operation now for over two years, has become one of the most important and efficient services in the Hospital. By standardizing the preparation of sterile supplies and solutions throughout the institution, this department has established an added safety to medical and surgical treatments, as well as to all forms of intravenous therapy. During the year, 3,964 intravenous infusions and 354 blood transfusions were given without serious reaction. Detailed records of the work of the Central Supply Room are on file and may be consulted by those interested. 20 :

OF THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL 21

During 1935 the Drug Formulary has been completely revised and re-edited to conform with the metric system which is now in official use throughout the hospital. The Unit System of hospital records has proven highly satisfactory and with the establishment of a new Record Room in the former Bliss Ward the availability and preservation of hospital records have been greatly improved. The use of Clinical and Pathological material for teaching purposes has been broadened. The elective courses for undergraduate students from the College of Physicians and Surgeons have been continued on the Surgical and Gynaecological Services and during the past year similar elective courses have been established on the Medical Service. Monthly Clinical Conferences, open to all physicians, have been continued and have enjoyed an enthusiastic attendance. Programs have been made up of Clinical papers and case reports given by members of the Attending and House Staffs. In addition, Patho- logical Conferences have been held each month at which all important and instructive specimens have been demonstrated and discussed. The Hospital Staff again participated in the post-graduate teaching of the Graduate Fortnight of the New York Academy of Medicine by arranging a three-hour dry clinic which was attended by a large group of physicians from New York and other cities.

23 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL OF NURSING

I have the honor to present the 39th Annual Report of our School of Nursing.

The outstanding developments in the nursing service during the year 1935 were those which followed the growth of the new Pediatric and Children’s Cardiac clinics. These clinics, which became a part of the Out Patient Department in August, are fill- ing an important community need. They also provide excellent facilities for the teaching of students.

The clinics, for which one-half of the lower floor in the Nurses’ Home was taken, were responsible, also, for great improvements in parts of the nurses’ living quarters. Remodelling of space in Syms Building provided new bathrooms, showers, lockers, and made comfortable quarters for the nurses who were obliged to move from the Home.

Two vitally important subjects in the profession of nursing at the moment are the proposed New Nurse Practice Bill and the New Curriculum. The Nurse Practice Bill concerns the licencing of practical nurses. It is generally opposed by those registered nurses who think there should be a separate bill for each group. It is favored by those who feel that the profession would have better control of all kinds of nursing by passage of this bill. Roosevelt is fortunate in having Dr. Peter Irving, whose interest in all phases of bedside nursing is well known, as a member of a committee of five appointed by the New York State Medical Association to study this bill.

The new curriculum is a revision of the present one, sponsored by the National League of Nursing Education, which is the educational department of the American Nurses Association. It has not been thought wise to require the setting up of this curriculum in New York schools immediately, but, rather, that it may be used as a guide in planning courses in all schools of nursing.

Many of our nurses are still pursuing study in advanced nursing courses. A course in psychology, for which two points of college credit were allowed was given at the Hospital by Dr. E. L. Kemp, of New York University. This course was taken by twenty-nine graduate nurses. The fifteen-hour course in current events again proved very interesting.

24 OF THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL 25

Commencement Exercises of the Class of 1935 were held in the Ballroom of the American Womans’ Clubhouse, on May 15. Thirty-two students received the diploma and pin of the School. Dr. Haven Emerson, Professor of Public Health, College of Physicians and Surgeons, gave the graduation address to the Class. A reception for the graduates and their friends was held in the Ballroom after the exercises.

During 1935 the registry for special duty nurses filled 1,417 calls for the hospital and 449 for cases in homes. The eight-hour day for special duty nurses, in effect since April 1, 1934, is proving satisfactory.

The Roosevelt Review, the official organ of the alumnae association, has been a definite stimulant of interest in school and hospital affairs. It has grown in importance largely because of the generous contributions of articles by our doctors and educator friends, who write authoritatively on subjects of special interest in medicine, surgery, physiotherapy, physical education, leisure- time activities, and such topics as attract the attention of the nurse. With greater financial support the Review might easily prove of proportionately larger interest, not only to nurse graduates, but to doctor graduates as well.

The Nursing Department is sincerely grateful to the Volun- teers, who, under the direction of Mrs. Stuart Crocker, chairman of the Social Service Committee, supplied the Christmas trees and other decorations for the wards and Nurses’ Home. As last year, they were responsible for a great deal of the Christmas happiness throughout the hospital. We wish to express gratitude also to Miss Martha Knox, daughter of the late John Mason Knox, who was one of our Trustees for many years. Miss Knox, in accord with her yearly custom, sent a gift to each student in the School.

The social, educational and extra curricula advantages, and the progressive standards of the School of Nursing would not be possible without the cooperation of the Board, the Attending Physi- cians, the House Staff, the Nursing Staff, and the Administration. To each of these I am grateful for their loyal support.

Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ALLERGY

This Department considers that its duties and responsibilities lie in three definite fields: (I) The diagnosis and treatment of patients in the clinic, (II) Research in problems pertaining to allergy, (III) Teaching.

I. Evidence of the clinical work is obtained by comparative statistics for the past three years.

One important step taken in the past year is an organized follow-up service whereby patients who have not attended clinic for three months are either called upon or sent a follow-up letter. In this way we try to educate our patients to come in for a check up at least twice a year even though they are symptom free. By no other means can the results of treatment be properly evaluated. This has been particularly important in the post operative sinus cases.

During the past year this department has purchased the latest model of Dr. Barachs Helium Oxygen Apparatus. This method of oxygen inhalation has shown itself to be extremely beneficial in those cases of dyspnoea due to bronchial obstruction. This apparatus is intended for the use of cases on all services in the hospital if it is properly indicated and it is hoped that it will prove of distinct therapeutic service.

The Social Service in this department is concerned with deter- mining the eligibility of patients applying for admission; directing of patients to proper clinics, agencies and hospitals and obtaining relief for needy cases. The homes of the patients are also visited and they are advised and educated in the necessary care and precautions to be observed. Children, and occasionally adults, are sent to convalescent homes, routine clinic work is carried out, clothing is furnished for patients when possible and patients with home or medical problems are advised and assisted in making suitable plans and adjustments.

II. During the past year our attention has been directed to a study of immunity produced by pollen injections. Evidence of protection has been discovered as reported in a recent publication in The Journal of Experimental Medicine. Publications from the department during the past year are as follows

(1) Clinical and Serologic Study of The Relationship of Giant (Am- brosia trifida) and Low Ragweed Pollen (Ambrosia Artemisiae- folia). R. A. Cooke, M.D., A. Stull, Ph.D., S. Hebald, M.D. and J. H. Barnard, M.D. J. Allergy 6: 311, 1935. (2) Relation of Asthma to Sinusitis. R. A. Cooke, M.D. and R. C. Grove, M.D. Arch. Internal Med. 56: 779, 1935. (3) Serologic Evidence of Immunity with Coexisting Sensitization in a Type of Human Allergy, (Hayfever). R. A. Cooke, M.D., J. H. Barnard, M.D., S. Hebald, M.D. and A. Stull, Ph.D. J. Exp. Med. 62: 733, 1935.

During the past year a Research Fellowship has been established. This position has been held by Dr. Mary Loveless, a graduate of Stanford University. The results of her work are contained in the article on “Gastric Acidity and Acid Therapy in Allergy” which has been accepted for publication by The Journal of Allergy and will appear in 1936. :

28 SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT

Pollen counts were taken daily from March 10th to July 23rd and from September 10th to October 10th. The total pollen count for the spring season was made here in our laboratory and the slides sent to Mr. O. C. Durham of Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, who made the differential pollen count.

III. During the past year seven graduate students in medicine have been given an intensive course in Allergy in the month of October. This course was apparently very much appreciated. The graduate Doctors were from the following hospitals

Walter Reed General Hospital, Washington, D. C. St. Lukes’ Hospital, Milwaukee, Wis. Maine General Hospital, Portland, Maine. Waterbury Hospital, Waterbury, Conn. Good Samaritan Hospital, West Palm Beach, Fla. Homeopathic Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pa. Memorial General Hospital, Kinston, N. C.

The course consists of laboratory and clinical work. The laboratory work involves the preparation and standardization of extracts used for diagnosis and treatment. Talks and demonstrations are given on chemical aspects of immunity and the princi- ples of immunity and serology.

On the whole we consider that the year 1935 has been a satisfactory and fruitful one.

In reviewing the statistical report for the past 12 months, we are able to report an increase in the volume of services rendered. There were 5,375 interviews with, or on behalf of, 3,072 patients. Of these 1,770 were new to the Department. One thousand, eight hundred and sixteen (1,816) field visits were made. Con- valescent care was provided for 224 ward patients. Financial assistance totalling $1,394.89 was furnished 216 patients, for convalescent care, special diets, appliances, vocational or employment adjustments, and emergency relief.

An increase is noted in the number and volume of special activities developed in 1934, and continued and enlarged in 1935. These included: Fresh Air for Malnourished Children; Friendly

Services at Thanksgiving and Christmas ; Theatre Parties ; Hockey or Ball Games for the Crippled and Cardiac Patients. The increase in the number of Fresh Air placements is particularly gratifying and was made possible by greater income, due to more generous contributions and administrative management of salary budget. Necessary correspondence with Local, State and Federal relief agencies, increased to such proportions in 1935 that the Depart- ment was faced with a serious administrative problem. This was met by the allotment of a stenographer from Project No. 344, of the United States Works Progress Administration.

A survey was made of the Social Service needs of all patients in the Children’s Cardiac Clinic. Despite the fact that we are unable to follow the recommendations resulting from this survey, we do consider it important and interesting as part of this three- year demonstration. OF THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL 31

In closing, it would seem appropriate to express our recognition of, and gratitude for, the loyal support and whole-hearted spirit of cooperation on the part of the Staff Workers, which, in a large measure, made this volume of service possible. Margaret Nichols,

I have the honor to present the Third Annual Report of the Social Service Committee for the year 1935.

Our previous annual reviews indicated the steps taken to estab- lish this Committee and the Social Service Department. This year’s report covers the first twelve months during which the Social Service Department functioned according to the plans approved by your Board. The report of Miss Nichols, Director of the Social Service De- partment, shows how she and her excellent staff have managed to meet the growing requirements of the hospital. Despite the fact that the case load was extremely heavy, the high standards of the Department have been maintained. The effective and important work done this year has proven conclusively to our minds the need of this kind of a modern medical social service department. The volunteer work has continued during the year with very few changes. Mrs. Chamberlin, chairman of volunteers, reports that there were 78 Volunteers working in the hospital during 1935. They gave approximately 5,000 hours. The greater proportion of the work was in fourteen of the Clinics of the Out- Patient Department, where they assist the doctors and nurses, taking dictation, case histories, and doing general clerical and detail work which must be done but for which the doctors and nurses have little time. As always happens, a number of volun-

32 OF THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL 33 teers leave for the summer. In 1934 an attempt was made to recruit summer volunteers but this did not prove satisfactory for many reasons, so during the past year, the attempt was not renewed.

Following is the list of all the volunteers who worked in the hospital during 1935. We wish to take this opportunity of thank- ing them for their help, and we hope that they will continue with us. We are greatly indebted to them for their great interest.

Miss McGinnis, the teacher from the Board of Education, reports that the school work conducted within the hospital made satisfactory progress. Some of the pupils were promoted while patients in the hospital, and when they returned to school they 34 SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT held their places in the new classes. We were indeed fortunate in having Miss McGinnis with us again.

Mrs. Mohun, chairman of the Library, reports that there are about 600 books in nine languages. The books were distributed twice a week in winter and once a week during the summer. Each day from 25 to 50 books were given out.

Mrs. Taylor, chairman of the Ward Volunteers, reports that the Diversional Therapy was continued until last June, after which time it was felt expedient to stop as so little work is given out during the summer months. Last fall an experiment was tried with volunteers, trained as occupational therapists, but this proved unsatisfactory. The original system seemed more pleasing and beneficial to the patients and therefore will be resumed.

Miss Chace reports that the volunteer shop made a profit of $799.03. When the shop was established in May 1934 it was financed by a loan of $1,500. The Committee repaid two-thirds of the loan this year, and the shop expects to pay the final third in 1936. The Social Service Fund, thereafter, will receive all profits. This satisfactory statement is due to the able salesman- ship of Miss Kutka.

There follows the financial report of 1935. As your Social Service Committee co-operated with the United Hospital Fund Drive, no entertainment was given this year as in former years.

A Statement by the President

We pause amid an intensive endeavor to bring to reality our plans for The Roosevelt Hospital of tomorrow in order to present a brief pictorial review of a year in retrospect and to take stock of our recent accomplishments.

Just as the picture of the 1938 Roosevelt Hospital dwarfs the

infant institution of 1871, so does the view of the hospital of the

future overshadow our present one.

The hospital year just past, in a large sense, marks the vital

transition from what is past to what lies ahead. The pictures confirm

our stated needs: a modern, more efficient plant, with a maternity

department, increased operating room space, and additional facil-

ities for people of moderate incomes. Our gratitude goes out to

those whose generosity is prompt in the appeal to meet these needs. To many minds, we are already living within the scope of the hospital of the future. Our services to a surpassing number of patients, the plans we have shaped to broaden and improve these services, the encouraging development progress of the past few months—all these have brought us nearer to fulfillment than we realize. The graphic pictures on the following pages show how

great is the quest for attainment.
