How to Stay Out of the Hospital It's not too unusual for the day- and night service doctor to answer a midnight call and find that he's needed at once because someone has fainted. Fainting (synecope) is a common complaint among students. And men are almost as prone to "passing out" as women when they are confronted with upsetting circumstances. The difference is that women faint with more grace and better timing. The physiological basis of fainting is a shifting of the blood circulation which results in a depleted supply to the brain. Upset emotions, excessive fatigue, poor health, or prolonged standing often result in fainting. The synicopic act may be accomplished gracefully and without harm to the victim. He becomes pale, perspires freely, relaxes, and loses consciousness. The pulse is fast and weak. The commonest precipitating causes of fainting in young people have an emotional basis. A person who has suffered an injury to body or pride can momentarily escape the unpleasant situation by fainting. Thereafter, when confronted by similar circumstances, he may pass out easily. Aside from the possible danger of a head injury incurred in falling, fainting does no harm. If the victim faints as the result of pain, it is a simple temporary release from discomfort. If his fainting is a sign of illness, a careful search for the cause must be made; if it is due to an emotional factor, the trouble may end with the fainting. What to do until the doctor arrives? Lay the patient down flat on the floor if a couch is not at hand and clear the room of bystanders.

If You Plan To Study Nursing Better Apply Now The old school practices of loosening the swooning lady's clothing and running for the smelling salts are outmoded. Her clothes aren't constricting and the salts do nothing but revive her memory of fainting when she smells them again. Usually before the doctor gets on enough clothes to make the call, the patient is on his feet either feeling chagrined at what he considers an act of weakness or enjoying the solicitous attention of his friends. —Ralph I. Canuteson, M.D. Women who plan to enter nursing schools this month or next should submit their applications at once, Miss Avis Van Lew, state chairman of the recruitment of student nurses, advised today.
