HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS
QUALIFIED JUDGMENT REQUIRED
Admissions to the Dunedin Public Hospital in the future will be made only on the advice of qualified medical practitioners. A motion to this effect was moved by Dr D. G. McMillan and carried at the meeting of the Otago Hospital Board last night. . Admissions to the hospital required more judgment than that of students in their final year, said Dr N. H. North. It was highly desirable that a person with at least the status of a senior house man be responsible for an admission. It was not fair, he added, to the patient or to the student that he should heve such a responsibility.
