Radio Replaces Flowers and Fruit at Hospital
IN THE old days, when we went to see a hospital patient, we brought him food, with the dull-witted notion that hospitals neglected the culinary niceties, and it was therefore our duty to smuggle in something that the sick person would enjoy. We knew he would enjoy it, because we were bringing him his favorite dish. We never could understand that smart nurse's edict that "he couldn't have it now."
Or we went to the florist's and tried to choose between roses tied with a ribbon and carnations gracefully arranged in a basket. And then we were often amazed to find that someone else had thought of the same thing, and perhaps, with more success.
To be sure, the thought is what counts,
and it should not be inferred from this that flowers and fruit and reading matter are not giving pleasure to thousands of hospital patients even while we are writing this. But when a patient is swamped with flowers, forbidden to eat delicacies brought in from the outside, and either unable or disinclined to read, the chances are he would like nothing better than just to lie back and listen to what's going on in the air, from a receiver which he can control with a turn of his wrist.
Ellis Hospital has seen radio so far merely as a diversion, one that is bulwark to the morale of the patient who has long hours alone. Under daylight saving, the program begins only a little while before visitors must leave, and they continue long enough to top off a day as giddily as it is ended at home. This hospital owns a portable tube set which is taken to any patient who expresses a desire to have it.
" I read the other day about a hospital in Philadelphia where radio can be turned on or off anywhere in the place at will," said the head nurse. "The whole building is equipped, and any patient who wishes to hear the programs is able to, while those who tire of it need not be annoyed. Maybe some day we'll have one like that." J. H. M.
