l'fScience Overcomes ,. Drab Institutionalism ' With Ne

Those of us who were confined in a hospital room at one time or another will be the first to ex- press admiration for the interiors of thenew Charlottetown Hospital addition. This new building has the distinction of being the first hospital in Canada to be decor- ated along the lines of color ther- apy which has displaced the "in- stitutionalism” that was synony- mous with hospitals as late as .1 few years ago:

COLOR EVIIPORTANT

The direct effect of color on man's mental attitude is an es- tablished scientific fact. Definite theories have been evolved during the last ten years for the practical application of some definite color principles to walls and ceilings of 110 ital rooms: reaction to various coor. good and bad ones, are known. grouped. and classified. specialists know which ones ex- cite, disturb or depress and which induce repose, create an atmos- phere of harmony, and improve the pc.t.ient‘s outlook and happiness.

These theories-are incorporated in FABRON, the fs.bric-plastic-

lacquer wall covering which has an

been selected for the decoration of practically all interiors in the new addition to Charlottetown Hosp- ital. Its manufacturers, Frederic Blank & 00.. Inc.. of New York City, pioneered the introduction of hospital color therapy in the United states where today it has been adopted by over 1,100 hosp- ltals.

When one considers that Roent- gen. the discoverer of X-rays, used exposures of ‘A to 1 hour. one can more readily appreciate the ad- vantages of, 1 80 second exposure. with the addi ion of space for of- fice and filing in the new depart- ment. and the added fs.cli1it.ies.of new dressing rooms, the Depart- ment looks forward to extend its service to the public in the craving years. The dark room. which in most hospitals is small and poorly ventilated. has been brought up-to- date in every respect. we. in the X-ray Department. feel that with e ornpletion of theseolianges, we can take our place on a par with with the other departments of the hospital.

The X-ray Department of a. mod- ern hospital consists actually at two really distinct depamnents:

(1) Diagnostic Department. This more or less has been described above and includes not only the interpretation of films. but fluoros- copic eicamination of chests. ali- mentary tracis, em, as well as the use of many contrast media to ex- amine otherwise hidden areas of iihe human body.

(2) The Therapeutic section, on the other hand. deals with the treatment of illn that respond to X-my, radium, or ‘diathermy. These include not only the treat» rnentofcancerbutinanyothu'dis- orders which respond to stimulat- ing doses of X-rays. such as. many skin dlsorders, arthritis, neuritis. birrsitis. etc.

The X-ray Depsrtinenrt of the Charlottetown Hospital is recog- nized by’ the Canadian Association of Radiologists and the Oarndian soc‘ ‘ or Technicians as a train- ing center for X-ray technicians. This is due to the fact that Sister Mary Edith. the culpable technician in charge. received her diploma by examination from the Dominion Board following extensive training in Kingston. Ontario, and because of the certincatlon by the Royal College of Physicians of the indie- logist, Doctor W. L. Maodomid. It Diagnostic and 'l:lheriweutic Radio- logist.
