It occupies the block of ground between 58th and 59th Streets and 9th and 10th Avenues, and has erected thereon suitable buildings, which furnish accommodations for three hundred and seventy- seven patients. It was opened for the treatment of medical and surgical patients November 2nd, 1871. The Ambulance Service was established in 1877 and discontinued in 1909. The Out-

Patient (Dispensary) Department was added in 1881. The Gynaecological Division was separated from the Medical in 1888.

The McLane Operating Room, the gift of Dr. James W. McLane, in memory of James W. McLane, Jr., for the use of the Gynaeco- logical service was opened in 1890. The Wm. J. Syms Memorial Operating Theatre, was erected in 1892. The Private Patients’

Pavilion was erected in 1896, and the Training School for Nurses was organized the same year.

To the Friends of The Roosevelt Hospital:

The report of the Superintendent of the Hospital has brought before you the work of the past year. It shows a very satisfactory accomplishment by the Hospital in the matter of service to the sick poor of the City. The pressure upon us for the needs of the com- munity was never greater and we have met those needs to the full capacity of our Hospital plant and endowment. We have, how- ever, for still another year shown an insufficient income and were forced to take funds from our invested capital to meet our needs.

We have exercised the strictest economy, which was absolutely necessary and cannot continue to over-spend our income without being obliged to reduce the service we can render. I see no availa- ble source to increase our income except by gifts from our friends.

There has been some reduction in the income of the Private

Patients Pavilion, but we rely upon our professional staff to use every effort to see that the income from this source is increased, but the net income derived from the Private Patients Pavilion is but small. The greatly increased cost of our patients, and par- ticularly our private patients, is so great that this department is but a small source of income. With an enlarged endowment there is very much that we could do to increase the benefits given by the Hospital to the community. It is difficult to estimate how much is needed, but much of our present plant is many years old and should be entirely renewed. I believe that $1,500,000 could profitably be spent on a new Out-Patient Department, Laboratories and Semi-Private Rooms, and not less than $1,000,000 is very urgently needed for a new and enlarged Nurses’ Home, and, should we see the prospect of being able to make these changes in our plant, we would certainly need an additional endowment of

$3,000,000 to avail ourselves fully of the new facilities. I earnestly commend to your consideration the question as to the possibility of getting any such sums of money and I appeal to the friends of the Hospital for their help. I consider that the matter of endowment is of the first importance as I believe it possible with an increased endowment to make better use of our present facilities and do not feel justified in considering the large cost of additional plant unless I feel we shall have the income to use it properly. Sincerely yours, W. Emlen Roosevelt, President.

A donation of five thousand dollars entitles the donor to nomi-

nate patients to a bed in the Wards in perpetuity ; and a donation of ten thousand dollars entitles the donor to nominate patients to a bed in a single room off the Wards in perpetuity.

X-RAY The X-Ray Department has completed its DEPARTMENT fifth year in the new building and the com- parative tables given below show the volume of work done during this period. While the apparatus has been kept in a fit state of repair it is obvious after five years of hard usage that some major replacements are necessary to keep the department in step with the progress that has been made in the development and perfection of better equipment, and it will be necessary to gradually replace the old equipment in order to main- tain an efficient modern Laboratory. The course of instruction for Student Technicians continues to be well attended and the attendance could be increased readily if the size and facilities in the Laboratory permitted.

THE Considerable progress was made this year PATHOLOGICAL in the Department of Basal Metabolism. LABORATORY The old Metabolism machine was re- placed by a new type of Sanborn machine with automatic graph which was purchased with funds donated by Mrs. I. N. Landauer, through Dr. Charles N. Dowd. A better arrangement was made also for the accommodation of patients. It will be noted in the Laboratory table (page 30) that the total number of patients was nearly doubled. There was a decrease in the number of Blood Transfusions and resulting blood grouping necessary. This reduction was due to the new method of treating patients suffering from Pernicious Anemia, where Liver Extract has been employed in the course of treatment of patients taking the place of transfusions.

ELECTRO- The result of the Cardiogram work during CARDIOGRAPH the past year was very encouraging and suc- cessfully carried on under the direction of an experienced Cardiologist, Frederick W. Keyes, who has con- tributed to the further advance of Heart Tracing of maximum diagnostic value to our Staff. Not alone was this work confined to our own patients, but a large number of referred cases from out- side physicians were handled through this department. OUT-PATIENT DEPARTMENT:

DENTAL CLASS During the close of last year was included in the group of Dispensary Clinics that of a “Dental Class” which, although still in its infancy, has met a great need in the treatment of diseases originating in the Oral Cavity.

FRIENDS Miss Susan Dwight Bliss made a generous contri- bution of funds with which to meet expense of supplying the children in the Wards during the hot summer months with ice cream, also kept the “little patients” well supplied with new toys, books, flowers and a party on October 20th. 20 FIFTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

PRIVATE ROOM SERVICE

Terms

Payment for account of private patients required for two weeks in advance. If a patient leave before the expiration of the period paid for, a pro rata charge will be made for the time of stay; the day of admission and day of departure will each be charged as a full day, and the balance will be refunded. The charge for the room includes board, divided attention of nurse and ordinary medicines and dressings. A charge of $20.00 will be made for use of the operating room and $5.00 for routine laboratory work for all patients. Charges will also be made for X-Ray Exposures, Path- ological Examinations, Druggist’s Sundries, Serums, Proprietary Preparations, Toilet Articles, Bottled and Fruit Beverages, Bottled Waters, Water Bottles and Special Appliances. Patients making direct application to the Hospital for rooms are received only as the patients of one of the Physicians or Sur- privileged the private rooms it is expected that they geons to use ; will pay to the member of the Visiting Staff, to whom they are assigned, a fee to be agreed upon with the Superintendent or with the Physician upon the occasion of his first visit. Relatives or friends are not permitted to occupy the room with a patient, except in the case of parent and child, when $5.00 daily will be added to the price of the room, which charge will include meals for the parent. If requested, the Hospital will engage for patients, for their exclusive use, a special (graduate) nurse, the rate for which will be $8.50 for each twelve hours and her services will be continued until the Superintendent is notified that they are no longer required. Valuables should be left with the Superintendent. Receipt will be given for them. The Hospital disclaims responsibility for valua- bles retained by patients. Under a rule of the Trustees, “No member of the House Staff, nurse or other employee, shall receive any compensation, gift or bequest from any patient, unless authorized to do so by the Visit- ing Committee.” Any infraction of this rule makes the employee liable to immediate dismissal. All business details should be arranged with and checks should be drawn payable to the order of Geo. W. M. Stock, Superintendent. :

ROBERT ABBE, M.D.

At a meeting of the Trustees of The Roosevelt Hos- pital, held Tuesday, March 27, 1928, the President called the attention of the Board to the death of Dr. Robert Abbe, a Consulting Surgeon of the Hospital, and the following resolution was adopted

“In the death of Dr. Robert Abbe, the

Medical Profession has lost one of its out- standing figures. From 1897 to 1900, Dr. Abbe was a Junior Surgeon at The Roose- velt Hospital, and from 1900 continued as Consulting Surgeon. His unusual ability as a surgeon and his personality as a friend to

all who needed his ministrations, endeared

him to all with whom he came in contact.” 30 FIFTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT

Books Needed We appeal to friends of the Hospital for good books for our patients. There are those who are convalescing and would appreciate de- voting some of their long hours in a more profitable way—YOUR HELP IS SOLICITED.

There have been interviewed in this Department, 14,997 pa- which were cases for home care; visits tients ; of 1,543 2,463 have been made to the homes of patients, 470 patients were re- ferred to other agencies, 284 were given convalescent care, and 363 ward cases were followed up to report end results. We were again fortunate this year in being able to give a Circus Party to 50 children, conveying them in busses to Madison Square Garden and supply them with ice cream and peanuts. This was made possible by the same “Friend” who has given us this party for some years past. Another “Friend” distributed $300 in gold to poor families that have been under our care. At Thanksgiving we were able to distribute 10 dinners to needy families, given through the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity, Central Park West at 65th Street. At Christmas we were able to distribute 20 dinners to needy families, given by Mr. Vincent Astor. Christmas dinners were given to three of our needy families, by Mrs. Justus Ruperti, 40 East 83d Street, also warm clothing for the children. Five dollars for one Christmas dinner, given by Mr. A. W. Matthews. Dental cream supplied by Colgate Company for clinic children. Talcum powder supplied by Crystal Chemical Company. Rev. Edward Radcliffe, United Presbyterian Church at West 44th Street, gave an entertainment in Children’s Ward Christmas Eve, and presented each child with a Christmas toy. Clothing for use of some of our needy proteges were given us during the year by the following friends :
