A large number of | people were waiting to arrange for hospitalization for themselves or for some member of their family. Among them. and at the head of the line, was a rather well dressed woman, her face drawn by anxiety. The woman tcall her Mrs. Bailey, for that isn't her name) told the re- ceptionist that her only brother was desperately ill and had had two con- vulsions during the night. Another sister had spent the night with him and they were anxious to get him to a hospital.

Takes Advice of Friends. | The other sister, Mrs. Bailey (also not her name) was employed but had | the responsibility of her own family. Only the names are fictitious, and a husband, whose salary was not large. Deciding that something had to be done she decided to go to the Central Admitting Bureau for Hos- pitals, of which friends had told her. After an interview to determine cer- tain fundamental facts about the patient’s financial position the sister was taken to the medical social worker. She admitted that she had been feai- ful of applying for help because it was an entirely new proposition to her. She said. however, that every one had been so courteous that she felt much easier about it and brightened visibly when the worker told her that arrangements could be made to take care of the brother for two weeks at a minimum amount, which the sisters felt they could pay. The brother was removed to a hospital. Two weeks rolled along. The medical social worker was again busy, when she received a card from Mrs. Bailey asking for an extension of another week. The worker glanced at the card showing the history of the patient and again arranged for the extension. All Cheered by Recovery. Another week passed and the medi- cal social worker, concerned with doz- ens of other cases, had relegated to the back of her mind the case of Mrs. Bailey, and her brother. when Mrs. Bailey came in again.

She declared that his treatment was equal to any given a patient in a private room. And in addition to his physical improvement the patient had improved in spirit, which was helped by the fact that his wife, who had been notified, had borrowed money and come to see him. The sister expressed her gratitude for the courtesy and consideration shown her in all departments of the 1 Central Admitting Bureau and de- clared that the treatment accorded her had given her a new insight into what the Community Chest means to Washington.
