CAUSTIC COMMENT
HOSPITAL BOARD'S COUNTRY STAFF .
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The conclusion that many country hospitals in North Canterbury are not as great a success as might be because the staffs^ are too formal was reached by Dr. W. Fox, medical superintendent of the Christchurch Hospital^ after a tour of inspection. Reporting to the Hospital Board, today he said that the staffs lacked knowledge of the mentality of a sick person, and lacked pleasing personality. ■, "In fact, if the staffs had to earn a living for themselves they would either have to alter their attitude or starve,"' said Dr. Fox. He recommended that tho matrons of the larger country hospitals be brought into the base hospital for a refresher course'to prevent staleness and getting into a "dug-in" attitude. Tho report was adopted. '
