MISDESCRIBED
By VISITINGNURSE
Staff Member Joins Miss
Bowling. Director, in Ra
dio Broadcast.
Work of the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Society in administering to the
needs of young and old was described
yesterday by Miss Gertrude H. Bowl
ing, executive director of the society,
and Miss Ruth E. Rives, staff member,
In radio talks over Station WJSV.
The broadcast was one of a series
arranged by the Columbia Broadcast
ing Co., in co-operation with the Com
munity Chest.
A ‘ diary" of a typical day in the life
of a visiting nurse was presented by
Miss Rives. She told* how, on such a
day, she cared for infants, youths,
middle-aged patients and bed-ridden
elderly persons.
Tells of Day’s Activities.
One day, she recalled, she started
out at 8:30 a.m. by visiting a small
boy ill with pneumonia, then attended
a young mother with a 3-day-old
baby, proceeded to the home of two
elderly sisters who are almost helpless,
aided a young man who is suffering
from an industrial disease and com
pleted the morning round by visiting
a small boy with muscular contraction,
due to a former case of infantile
paralysis.
After a quick lunch she answered a
“hurry call” in time to prevent a
mother from administering castor oil
to a child suffering with acute appen
dicitis. The child's life was saved by
a quick operation at a hospital.
Treated Rickets Patient.
Later in the afternoon she irrigated
the eyes of a 3-week-old baby, cared
for a 2-year-old boy afflicted with
rickets and went to the home of a bed
■ ridden ">atient in the throes of tuber
culosis.
Miss Bowling explained the growth
and operation of the society, which
now has a staff of 74 persons. This
work, she pointed out, is supported
largely by the Community Chest.
Some patients are able to pay for part
of the service rendered out of their
own funds. Others reimburse the
society through sick-benefit insurance
policies.
The society, she said, is governed
by a board of 30 volunteers interested
In health promotion activities.
