Welcome to room #316 Blair General Hospital
Dr. Kildare's staff assembles in Ginger's room
for a quick morning photo.
Today is hospital inventory day .
Ginger's room was selected for proximity to X-ray.
(She will be going home today anyway if all tests are a go!)
Can you please grab a pen and clipboard
while the nurses log the items below?
Above are the medical bags with metal handles in tact ,
Upper GI meds, and soap used in X-Ray.
These get well cards do not get logged.
Ginger saves all her cards each week. Have a peek!
(Cards like these from Ginny Linda will be part of a giant collage
when Ginger gets home. Very cheery!)
The needles and syringes are always sterilized first.
There are swabs, blood samples, a red roll of Thantis throat lozenges,
a nurse manual, and colored pills on the white wooden tray.
The long needles behind the chamber pot are used for surgery.
The smaller ones in the same boxed case
(above right and below with red background)
are used for localized injections.
The nurse's kits are well stocked
and credentials are proudly displayed.
A silver pin was awarded for excellence.
In the upper right you can see the
March of Dimes pin for this current year.
Dr. Kildare has patented his own thumping
stethoscope
in
faux white "box" next to the red medical kit.
Ginger's gum (like Chicklets) on the Watko pull out couch
does not get logged, but her pills
in the glass bottle should be recorded.
We will log the entire kit.
Did we miss anything here?
Be sure to record the cotton swabs,
thermometer , gauze, tongue depressors,
aspirin, and tourniquets separately.
( Don't forget the band-aids)
The phone rings non-stop as well wishers ask about Ginger's recovery!
The black and white metal scale and the diet books
should be logged as three separate items.
Also we need to order more Rx pads
as there is only one sheet remaining.
The doctor's items are displayed for his personal use.
We log these accordingly.
The giant get well card is from Dr. Kildare.
He is studying a controversial link
between cigarettes and lung disease.
