Watkins Memorial Hospital Is Only Accredited One In Lawrence
By ANN KELLY
"One thing KU students don't realize is that they have one of the best health services in the country," Dr. R. I. Canutesson, head of Watkins Memorial hospital, says.
Watkins hospital, which has had approximately 31,200 patients since 1931, is the only hospital in Lawrence to have been approved by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals.
Dr. Canuteson pointed out that the building itself contains several special features such as an inter-communication system between patient's bed and nurse.
There is also a pillow receiver which allows the patient to hear a three-way radio by listening to a small disk-shaped received. The sound is too faint for others in the room to hear, but patients can hear it clearly by placing it near their ear.
The hospital has complete X-ray
The physical therapy department is open to the public because there is no other like it in the country. There is also an excellent psychiatric service. The Meninger foundation sends three psychiatrists to practice at KU each year.
Dr. Canuteson said that of special note is the electro encephalograph which no other college health service has. This machine is used for diagnostic work for head injuries. It is useful after fainting and car or football accidents.
The humidity in the surgery room is regulated and the lights can run on their own batteries in the event a current goes off during an operation.
The hospital contains its own
library and also has an escape-proof room for a violent patient. Dr. Canuteson feels that discussing personal problems with a doctor can sometimes help.
"Every student that has a defect such as hearing is called back to consult a specialist after his medical examination upon entering the University. About 10-12 per cent of KU's students need help from psychiatric teams, but maybe as many as 30 per cent could be helped if they would talk to a doctor," he said.
Dr. Canuteson said the hospital makes surveys such as the one taken of senior students in 1939-40. This survey showed that seniors grow fatter, shorter, and that their eyesight is worse than in previous years. The survey also showed that 5 per cent were color blind, that 4 percent had hearing defects, and that 3.5 per cent had heart defects.
