LES DEACON tells us about hospitals

Honorary . member Les Deacon is presently convalescing in Maunalani Hospital. Prior t.o this, he was in St e

Francis Hospital, and it was during that period that Bob Sato urged Les to ''In te about his hospital ex­periences. Les Deacon has obliged with a long manus­cript setting down~ in step~by-step seqlence, his eXperien ces from the moment of his grand entrance, to the SOpis governing hospital routines.

Les Deacon's manuscript will be published in several installments" Perhaps, Lea might further oblige \.u th another manuscript from :tJIaunalani 0

To Les.~ the members of' Club 100 ldsh you a speedy recovery ..

This ,vill introduce the f:ir tlt~ of a series of articles on the subject o.r Hospitals. Subsequent o.rticles l'ii.ll appear in later issues of the ttPuka Pu.ka Parade? U Almost every memb~r of Club 100 has been in a hospiteJ. or hospitals" These articles are being written in a hospital" OU.:r eomments are not directed to anyone particulru'" hospital, but reflect experiences in many · over a period of years. It is remarkable hOlt: closely SOP in anyone of these insti tu ti ons resemble SOP in all of the othe rs.

Bob Sato suggested that these be written for publication in the "Puka Puka Parade", subject of course to approva~ and ex­tensive editing by the Editor ..

This outburst is written in a hospital. The first (and longest) section is "How to Get Into a Hospital" If The explanation for thy length is that many of you are probably unfamiliar with this sinister aspect of civilian hospital SOP; your experience largely has been wi th military hospitals. But sooner or later you or some member of your f amily ~ (though it is hoped not) land in a civilian hospital. So let's face it, men.

Lead-up to First ApDToach

You have been feeling lousy for sometime. Recently, you have done a lot of vomiting and your bowels have been acting in a completely irresponsible marmer~ You fin~ly break dOvffi and go to see your r-amily doctor. After the usual foolishness involving pulse~ t empr;?rature, etc", he bares your manly bosom and applies his stethoscope. He steths you front and baqk~ and registers grave concern. It appears that your heart, instead of going uthump ;; .. thump : thump" is going "thump swish thump" If He bundles you off to a Heart Specialist. (On the average, they cost three to four titn.es "as much as the family doctor) 0

However, the Specialist has cert.ain expensive stage props, sueh as a fluoroscope, etc., which he gets into the act; (also into his bill.) '" When this phase is over, he seats you in a chair beside his desk and goes into the histrionics phase.. You are pract.ically at Death I s Door 0 He is going t a call 8...11 ambulance inunediately and have ~you transported directly from his office to the hospitaJ.. With great difficulty you dissuade him.. There are practical domestic considerations Q You must go home, break the neiNS to the fam:Lly.? arrange so that they can carI'iJ on in your absence J pack your moss-covered 1A')oth brush arld other sundries in a bag, etc II Reluctantly, he give s you hv-o hours of grace, making it clear that he 'V.[ashes his hand s of all responsibility for those two hours.

He phones the hospital and reseFv'es a specific rOOffi e You hear hirrL~ You knov.r the room nuniber~ You have been in that parti­cular hospital several t.imes preViOtIS ly ani they have a file on you seyeral inches thick e The Specialist vlrites out a DoctorS s Admittance Or-der 8 The original, re sends to the hospital right then~ by speeial messengere He gives you a copye Duck soup.

occupied by three highly d:corative young ladies - obvioualy from the verJI top strata of Socl.ety "t-lho have volunteered to work in the slums = they feel (a'1.d look) heroic 0 After ,t en minutes while you stand around, one of said young ladies becomes oonscious of the presence of a Foreign Body.

So she advances 1,'1 it h a bright. artificial smile and says II Can I help yoU?1I (The question is strictly rhetorical .. ) You respond If I doubt it, but you mi.ght try. All I ~-[ant .is to get into this flea-bag and go to bed. Here is tre Doctor's order. The room number is 3313. You have a file on me three inches thick o You can get all the il1furmat.1.on you need fr~Jm that.1!

She is horrifi8d 0 Your uD.eouth remarks strike at the very foundations ()f SOP Q She ~[;nores themo .she turns to the other' two young ladies and sa_~, ;-,s "Jearmie~ do you have one of those fonns?" jea..nnie d023 n ot ha 'r ::: o "Ccmni l;', do you have one of th ose forms?!!

Note~ This conversation is not fanciful. It is an authentic verbatim ace-ount of the highlights of an actual conversation between the writer and an admittance person at a hospital.

After about t\~ hours of this, you move on to an intermediate post. This is the lair of the head nurse on the floor of the hos­pital wing vrhere you are to be incarcerated o There the questions follm'f a more medical line, frequent reference is made to the Doctor's Adrn1ttru1ce Order, and your basic chart sheet is prepared. Then, at long last, you reach your room.

There you are divested of your clothirg and encased in vfhat are laughingly called "hospi tal pajamas 0 II These are made of sturdy sail cloth canvas about 1/8 inch thicko They itch like ten thou­sand mosquito biteso They consist of an "upperlf - a ooat-like garment vJ11ich one wears backvlards" (One later dis covers that under certain circumstan ces thi s has its advantaGes c) The pants are just pants, except that when you move in bed, they bind in five diffe:pent directions.

Letter to the Editor -Editor Puka Puka Parade 520 Kamoku street Honolulu, Hawaii

Dear Editor,

133 Ku Drive Wailuku, Maui AUg! at 10, 1960

Better late than never--the subject matter is rather old news but still worthy of comment.

Hats off to Nartin Tohara of D ClBpterl At the Board meeting of May 12, his was the only dissenting vote on a motion to reimburse ex-prexy Dick Oguro for the ex­penses he incurred for a steak-dinner-nneeting to close out his tem.

Judging fran the seemingly high caliber of men we have serving on the Board, I dontt doubt that those who voted in the af.f:irma.tive did so with the full realization that they were setting a bad . precedent. I guess it is hwnan nature to want to be a liP od Joe, rut the irony of their action was so conspicuous in that only minutes prior the Board had unanimously agreed to accept the fi­nance committee t s recommeniation to solicit the kokua at each arrl every member to contribute $3.00 or more to help finance our budget for the reminder 0:£ the year.

Yours f or better business practices,

EDIIDR'S COMMENT:

JACK GUSHIKEN Maui Cha pter

. . . We alw~ welcome expressions by the members, and we will print all and sundry; the exceptiom being those obviously in pad taste, or where strictly political pitches are concerned.
