Barnes
Bulletin Barnes Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri, June, 1982, XXXVI, Number 6 and Drug Administration, spoke on "Partners in Consumer Protection: You and the FDA." Ms. Richardson, who has been with the FDA since 1965, urged the audience to heed the agency's warnings on recalled products since consump- tion could result in severe or irreversible damage. She advised consumers to be informed about the products they purchase, and read labels. Con- sumers should not be afraid to ask questions, especially about medicine their physician pre- scribes, she said.

Dr. Bradley and Mr. Loines
Dr. Tucker and Mr. Pumphrey Barnes Hospital President Robert E. Frank con- gratulated Mr. Loines and Mr. Pumphrey on their awards, and explained that their type of extra caring frequently determines whether a patient will return to Barnes or go to another hospital for care. Both of you represent the ideal the rest of us strive for/' he told the honorees. "Friendliness, helpfulness, unselfishness, cheer- fulness, concern and caring. These are con- tagious; you can easily pass them on to another employee or to a patient or his anxious relatives. They lighten the load of the family facing an un- known diagnosis just as they make the day brighter for a fellow employee for whom every- thing seems to be going wrong at the moment."
Anyone who is registered as a volunteer, staff member or employee of Barnes Hospital is eligi- ble for the award. Any member of the Barnes Hospital community may submit the name of a candidate. The nomination must contain as com- plete a resume of the candidate as possible to permit the council to give a fair review of the candidate's merit; the signature of the nominator; and the signature of the two councilors of the Barnes Hospital Society, obtained by the nomi- nator as sponsors of the candidate. Selections are made only on the unanimous vote of all officers and councilors. Those selected for the award re- ceive $250, and a tie tack/lapel pin for men, or a yellow gold serpentine chain with a disc for ladies, both of which carry the BHS medal. Their names will also be inscribed on a permanent plaque in Barnes main corridor.
The BHS is comprised of 800 doctors who are pledged to secure the development of Barnes as both a source of community service and as a cen- ter of medical progress. New laser will help Security officers use gynecological patients Red Cross training
