-'ANATOMY OP A HOSPITAL' _
'NBC White Paper No. 5* to Study An American Hospital and Its Daily Problems
’’Anatomy of a Hospital, ” a special program studying an American hospital and the problems faced daily by its doctors, nurses, administrators and patients, will be presented as ”NBC White Paper No. 5" on the NBC-TV Network Sunday, April 16 ( 10-11 p.m. EST).
NBC News correspondent Chet Huntley will narrate the pro¬ gram, which will focus on the Cambridge (Mass.) City Hospital. NBC camera crews headed by producer Albert Wasserman and director Robert Young filmed activities throughout the hospital — from the accident ward to the operating room, from the boiler room to the kitchen.
Executive producer Irving Gitlin said that the program would take a close look at the hospital as an institution which plays a meaningful part in the lives of Americans from birth to death. He said it would examine the Cambridge hospital as it is affected by the general "hospital crisis" — the shortage of doctors, nurses and technicians, the influx of foreign interns and resident physicians, the rising costs of medical services and other problems.
The program will include the views of interns, resident and visiting physicians, nurses and staff administrators, as well as patients. It will cover staff meetings, the sessions of a committee that checks on surgical procedures, and a meeting of the Cambridge City Council discussing the hospital budget.
