HOSPITAL PRACTICE.
During the last two or three years there have been three hospital patients poisoned through nurses having been allowed to compound, or prepare, medicines for ptitients. There seems to be a serious defect in the regulations obtaining in public hospitals when this sort of thing occurs. It is all the more remarkable when we are informed that there are fully qualified chemists employed in a" the principal hospitals in New Zealand. I consider that no nurse should prepare medicines except under the direct supervision the hospital chemist or one of the medical officers. ANXIOUS.
