Two nurses moke up a patient's bed, a task needing a deft touch if he is to remain com* fortable all day. The patient may while away the time listening to the radio. The fitment above his bed includes a radio unit and headphones, with a choice of two radio stations. This is tuned in from a two-channel control set in the ward sister's office. All nurses coming on or going off duty in the ward must sign their names in a record book kept in this office. This is an established part of hospital routine, information as to whether a nurse was on duty at the time of any particular occurrence may sometimes be required.
