Let's see you do it! he PARTICIPACTION ) | ‘ ospital appenings by Peter Snell One of the nicest happenings-at the hospital this summer was the completion of renovations to the clinic area. Our once drab and dreary waiting room has been transformed into a very pleasant and modern area. ‘The exterior of the hospital is now due for a major facelift as well. New insulated windows and siding are slated for installation before the snow flies. i Work is also continuing on the new heating system. It certainly will be a treat not to have to run to the hospital in the middle of the night to turn up the steam valve because everyone is cold. The clanging of pipes and hissing of broken steam pipes should be a. thing of the past at the Cassiar Hospital this winter. If you had to make a visit to the hospital this summer the first thing you would have noticed was all the untam- iliar faces about. Dr. Nancy Barker was here for July and August filling in for Drs. Delamare and Crawford’s hol- idays. It was fortunate Dr. Barker had a good sense of humour during the renovations. Any other Doctor would have packed her bags and given up on trying to work amongst the dust and noise. Nancy hopes to come back this winter to try her luck at telemark skiing. She did manage to survive a kayak trip down the Cottonwood River without going for a swim. Ethel Songhurst kept the laboratory and X-ray going for the summer. Ethel is from the prairies and Cassiar was her first trip into the mountains. She was certainly impressed but | think she was missing those wide open spaces by the end of the summer. Donna Taylor and Louise Varin ran the office for the summier. I was amazed how. quickly they learned to decipher my writing and all that medical jibberish that comes out of doctors’ offices. ; Barb Billingsley filled in as the hospital attendant for the summer. She really had her work cut out for her trying to keep ahead of the dust and debris created by the workmen. : All the regular staff would like to thank those people who filled in for the summer so we could all have our well- deserved vacations.
