Scientist Says
Hospital Wards
Must be Abolished
By DELOS SMITH
UPI Science Editor
New York-OIPD-From both
the scientific and humani
tarian viewpoints; the hospi
tal ward is out-moded and
must be abolished, according
to a surgical scientist who is
Internationally known lor
contributions to hospital tech
niques. .
Dr. Rupert Vaughan Hud
son's chief concern was with
the increasing dangers of get
ting a staphylococcal infec
tion in the modern hospital.
His idea was to partition
hospital wards into rooms,
just large enough to contain
one bed, a bedside table, and
a cabinet for the patient's
clothes. But the patient would
have his privacy and would
be better protected from any
staphylococcal bacteria on the
loose.
Wards Partitioned
Most wards could be parti
tioned with no more than a
10 per' cent loss of beds, he
argued. Ideally there would
be a central corridor with
all room doors, giving into
it in two facing rows. This
compactness would, permit
nurses and attendants to care
for as many patients as they
do now. ,
' Tha cost would be-relative-'
ly low if the kind of parti
tioning now used In ' offices'
was adopted. These walls are
prefabricated in'staiidard
units and are easily put up
or. taken down. And these
walls could be washed down
with disinfectants or better,
with steam, readily and with
out damage, lie said.
Scientifically all this would
do much to lick the problem
of "hospital infection" which
is a problem wherever there
are hospitals.
Unpleasant Noiiet
Ward patients are constant
ly assaulted by noises, many
of them most unpleasant as
in "the recovery from anes
thesia and the complaint of
pain or fear." The lights are
turned on periodically dur
ing the night, and so sleeping
pills are used "wholesale" to
make up for these "defects
in medical care."
Hudson is British. His was
one of the first well known
surgical voices to be raised
for abolishing the hospital
ward, and he raised it in the
authoritative technical jour
nal, "The Lancet." British and
American hospitals are so
very similar they're all but
identical. The quality and
cost of medical care are hot
subjects in our country, par
ticularly in this election year.

sand of Americans have
rummaged through their
piggy banks and coin purses
hoping to find that penny

The nationwide treasure
hunt was touched off when
UPI reported that Washing

had placed a vulue of up to
$8 and perhaps more on car
tain I960 pennies with a flaw
In the date.
Flood of Calls
The dispatch brought a
flood of calls to newspapers
and broadcast stations. Coin
dealers were beselged with
inquiries. New York City
hospitals reported patients
were checking their pennies.
And all over Uie country
penny-pinchers saw a chance
to get rich quick.
The cause of all the fuss
are so-called 1980 "small

the date under Abraham Lin

"Small 111(10" coins Issued
by the Philadelphia mint are
