Dans son ouvrage Révolution et réforme de la médecine (I), il la décrit comme un voyageur,qui parvenu de nuit dans une contrée inconnue,ouvrirait à l'aube sa fenêtre sur un paysage totalement nouveau pour lui. L'idéologie des révolutions médicales a trouvé son point d'orgue dans la révc- lution dite (( pastorienne )) en France, célébrée inlassablement comme l'acte de nais- sance de la médecine moderne. Sur quel paysage inconnu s'ouvrira la fenêtre du XXP siècle? Si le développement des connaissances médicales au cours de ces deux derniers siècles a été considérable et partie prenante dans l'essor de la démographie mondiale, nous ne sommes plus aujourd'hui persuadés du caractère radical de la révolution de la médecine moderne. Le passé n'était pas dépourvu de lumières et de raison. La médecine qui s'enorgueillit de faire reculer la mort reste encore impuissante en maintes occasions.Surtout l'écart grandit entre les prouesses des techniques de pointe et les réalités du grand nombre, si l'on considère le monde en sa totalité. Car, en situant sa fenêtre dans une cité d'Europe, Cabanis excluait sans y penser une grande partie de la planète. Pour son cinquantième anniversaire,I'Orstom a ouvert grand sa fenêtre sur (( les sciences hors d'occident N. L'Office pour la recherche scientifique et technique d'outre- mer (21,depuis sa création en 1944, a vécu les cinquante années mouvementées de la fin de la période coloniale, de la coopération avec le Tiers monde et du redéploie- ment actuel de cette coopération (3).L'intitulé du colloque visait à souligner la fin de la domination du modèle de la science occidentale, et de la considération exclusive du progrès sous les espèces de l'application, du transfert,et de la diffusion de ce modèle. Sciences hors d'occident : l'appellation enregistrait l'existence, (( beyond the Metropolis )) (4,de sciences de plein droit et de plein exercice,sans préciser s'il s'agis- sait de traditions locales développées ou modernisées, ou de surgeons de la science occidentale ayant subi une spéciation par isolement géographique.

Ceux mêmes qui proposent une science alternative,une science plus authentiquement (( for the people)),restent largement solidaires de l'idéal baconien et cartésien d'un arbre du savoir dont les fruits seraient un jour partagés par tous dans un Eden pas trop lointain. Le titre même du colloque manifestait cet écartèlement et laissait aux partici- pants le soin de résoudre la contradiction dialectique qu'il contenait. La fenêtre du colloque international qui s'est tenu à Paris du 20 au 27 septembre 1994 ne s'est pas levée sur l'ordonnance majestueuse d'un jardin à la française,mais a vu défiler des visions contrastées, des esquisses fragmentairestelles qu'en prendrait un voyageur emporté par le mouvement incessant de la planète, au seuil de l'an 2000. Le colloque a fait une large place à la médecine. Sans surprise :la médecine est une branche de l'arbre des sciences depuis Bacon et Descartes.A la fin du siècle dernier, elle a renforcé sa revendication d'être une science en s'attachant au laboratoire,devenu le creuset de ses vérités.

    (Not) Visiting Isolation Hospitals in Mid-Victorian Britain

    7 Infection and Citizenship: (Not) Visiting Isolation Hospitals in Mid-Victorian Britain Graham Mooney Local authority provision for the sequestration of infectious people mushroomed in Great Britain from the mid-1860s. By the First World War, more than 750 isolation hospitals contained almost 32,000 beds for infectious patients, most of whom were children. Trips to an isolation hospital were problematic because visitors might contract infection there and spread it to the wider community. Various strategies sought to minimise this risk or eliminate it altogether. This chapter argues that the management of isolation hospital visitors was typical of Victorian public health’s tendency to regulate people’s behaviour. By granting rights to, and conferring responsibilities on, the relatives of patients, visiting practices enshrined notions of citizenship that sought to govern ‘through’ the family. The isolation of people with infectious disease has attracted an increasing amount of attention from historians. The fundamental rationales for the institutional exclusion of the infected – namely the protection of the wider population, the prevention or stamping out of an epidemic outbreak – are practically self-evident. Yet scrutiny in a variety of metropolitan and colonial contexts also reveals a set of practices that, over the course of the nineteenth century, seemingly were ever more laden with undertones of coercion, moral and physical rehabilitation and normalisation. The removal of biologically dangerous individuals from their community surroundings

    Wisconsin Veterans Museum Research Center Transcript of an Oral History Interview with JAMES F. McINTOSH Surgeon, Navy, Korean War. 1997 OH 361 1 OH 361 McIntosh, James F., (1923- ). Oral History Interview, 1997. User Copy: 2 sound cassettes (ca. 120 min.), analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Master Copy: 1 sound cassette (ca. 120 min.), analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Abstract McIntosh, an Edgerton (Wisconsin) native, details his medical schooling during World War II and subsequent Naval service during the Korean War. McIntosh discusses joining the V-12 program, the effects the program had on the University of Wisconsin, and receiving deferments. McIntosh speaks of deferments in essential industry and the year-round schooling. He talks about his duties as corpsman while assigned to Great Lakes Naval Hospital, his preceptorship in Sheboygan (Wisconsin), and his plastic surgery residence at Tulane (Louisiana) Charity Hospital (segregated at the time) before receiving orders to report to the USS Haven. McIntosh describes issues he had leaving residency at the Charity Hospital and reporting for duty. At one point he had received cancellation of orders; however, wanting to serve his two years, McIntosh ignored them and told his mother to say the orders arrived after his departure. McIntosh talks about the route to Korea and his impressions of the hospital ship and Korea. Describing the relationships between medical personnel and Navy ship command personnel, he tells several stories of how the medical staff would “rattle the ship captain’s cage.” McIntosh describes his ward, cooperation between the other wards, and how his medical decisions weren’t questioned by the “pompous ass” commanders.

    A Night in Accident and Emergency

    34 spring-summer 2015/HesaMag #11 Special report 25/28 A night in Accident and Emergency Saint-Pierre University Hospital is the oldest hospital in Brussels. Located in one of the city’s most working-class neighbourhoods, Les Marolles, it occupies the site of a medieval leper colony. That social calling has lasted down the ages and is a key part of the institution’s identity. The hospital describes itself as ‘secular and social’ and is proud ‘to welcome all patients, regardless of their origin, philosophical or religious convictions, or social status’. We spent a night at Saint-Pierre, shadowing the hospital’s accident and emergency nurses. Denis Grégoire ETUI Photographs: Martine Zunini 35 spring-summer 2015/HesaMag #11 Special report 26/28 Wednesday, 11 February – 9.45 p.m. The staff working the afternoon shift hand over to the night team. The two teams are gathered together in a glass-walled room re- served for doctors and nursing staff, known as 'HQ'. They are huddled around a set of wooden pigeonholes containing various doc- uments about patients, such as requests from doctors to run tests. A nurse passes on the key information about the patients receiving treatment: 'In cubicle 3, there’s a gentleman we know well. He comes every three months. It’s extremely difficult to insert his drip.' 'In cubicle 4, we have a gentleman who has come in because he’s confused. He’s quite fretful and he’s pulled his drip out. He’s on vali- um,' … and so on. The night team takes over.

Fever hospitals in counties Armagh and Down : 1817-39 G M Beale Accepted 1 February 2000 SUMMARY This paper outlines the provision for fever patients, (other than those suffering from cholera during the epidemic of 1832-34), in counties Armagh and Down in the two decades prior to the introduction of the Poor Law to Ireland. Possible causes of fever and the numbers of patients treated are discussed. The establishment and location of fever hospitals and the state of the premises are considered and an assessment of the contribution of these institutions to the development of medical provision in the early nineteenth century is also provided.

  • Statistics of the Barony Parish Fever Hospital of Glasgow in 1847-48

    Art. VI.?-Statistics of the Barony Parish Fever Hospital of Glasgow in 1847-48. By James Paterson, House-Sur- v geon and Superintendent of the Hospital. During the year 1847, fever, which had for several months of the previous year assumed, in most parts of the country, an epidemic form, prevailed so much as to raise in the minds of all very considerable alarm. In Glasgow, the first noted increase of the disease was in autumn 1846, from which time it became more and more pre- valent, till it reached its maximum in the summer of the follow- ing year. The only public accommodation in this city, previous to 1847, was that afforded by the wards of the Royal Infir- mary, and in these the number of beds scarcely exceeded 200. As might have been expected, this amount of accommodation was found, even before the close of 1846, to be insufficient, accordingly, the managers of the Infirmary rented the Lock Hospital, then recently erected, and capable of affording ac- commodation to seventy or eighty persons. But as this auxi- liary hospital was too inconsiderable to render very efficient service in an increasing epidemic, the managers resolved that they should themselves build another on ground already in their possession; but so strong was the opposition of the neigh- bouring inhabitants and proprietors to this proceeding, that the design was relinquished. They then purchased a building in Bridgeton, one of the eastern suburbs of the city, but before it could be furnished to receive patients, opposition, as in the for- mer instance, was brought forward, and in such a way as to de- lay the employment of the building in the manner contemplated.

Research Aims: To examine the relationship among workload, teamwork, and missed nursing care at intensive care units Methodology: Correlational research design was conducted at Intensive Care Units (ICU) at Fayoum university hospitals. Intensive care units at Kom Hamada central hospital, Damanhour fever hospital and Damanhour chest hospital. The subjects were 207 nurses. A self-administered questionnaire containing four parts; (Part I: Demographic characteristics of the subjects such as age, gender, marital status, nurse role, qualifications, experience, shift worked, nurse to patient ratio, length of shift time, Part II: Miss care Survey was developed to measure the frequency with which nursing care activities are omitted or delayed, and to identify the factors that contribute to these missed activities as perceived by nursing staff in the acute care setting,Part III: Workload Subscale was used to measure the nursing staff’s perception of workload. This subscale was designed to measure “the extent to which feelings of pressure and urgency dominate the work environment”, Part IV: Nursing Teamwork Survey, This 33-item instrument was designed to measure teamwork among nurses in the acute care setting, but the items generically address teamwork activities across nursing care settings.) Results: The present study showed that less than half of studied nurses had moderate missed care and moderate team work.

Zein Eldin3 1 Teacher of Nursing, School of Nursing, Damanhour Governorate. 2 Professor of Nursing Administration, Faculty of Nursing, Alexandria University 3 Assistant Professor of Nursing Administration, Faculty of Nursing, Damanhour University Abstract: Health care providers (HCPs) are exposed to blood-borne infections from different pathogens. Standard Precautions (SP) practices are designed to protect healthcare providers (HCPs) and prevent them from spreading infections among patients. Design: descriptive correlational design. Aim: identify the relationship between health care providers' knowledge of and compliance with Standard infection control precautions at Damanhour fever hospital. Setting: Nine inpatient units at Damanhour Fever Hospital. Subjects: 56 nurses, 16 Physicians, 7 Technicians and 5 auxiliary personnel who were available during data collection and agreed to participate in the study. Tools: two tools were developed by the researchers, tool (1): Standard Infection Control Precautions Knowledge Questionnaire to assess Health Care Providers' (HCPs) level of knowledge; tool (2): Standard Infection Control Precautions Observation Checklist developed to observe HCPs compliance with Standard Infection Control Precautions. Results: The study findings were (89.3% ) of nurses, (81.3% ) of physicians, (85.7% ) of technicians, (60.0% ) of auxiliaries had high level of knowledge about Standard Precautions (SP) general information. As for overall compliance with SP, 57.1% of nurses, 60% of auxiliaries complied fairly while 87.5% of physicians and 100% of technicians complied poorly to the overall SP.
