HOSPITAL TREATMENT

EXPRESSIONS OF APPRECIATION. Three letters expressing appreciation of treatment in the Wellington Hospital were received at a meeting of the Hospital Board this week. “I cannot adequately express my gratitude to the board for the treatment I received during the ten weeks I was a patient in Ward 9 and for the further period of eight weeks when I was a daily visitor to the out-patients’ department stated the writer of one letter. "I did not need the assurance of Dr. Robert Stout that only skilled nursing and constant attention from the medical and nursing staff saved my life. Please convey to the medical superintendent and his staff and to the matron and her staff my humble appreciation of their services during the time I was under their care. I told Mr. and Mrs. Robert Semple, who visited the ward on Christmas Day. that even if they had the skill they would not do more for any member of their family than the hospital staff were doing for me. . , . “The food as prescribed by the dietitian and prepared by the kitchen staff was excellent in quality and generous in supply and was entirely suitable to my disordered body. . . My personal experience was that the natients who growled most w.ere invariably the ones who made the greatest outcry when they were discharged. . . To you, T*i*. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen of the Wellington Hospital Board, m'y heartiest congratulations for your services to the community nnd best wishes to the staff who are so nnd best wishes teht
