ANNUAL REPORT
To the Board of Managers and Members of the Staff of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital,
Gentlemen:
The following is a brief summary of the work of the Surgical service during the year 1935:
Total number of surgical patients submitted. .629
Adult. 549
Children 80
Major operations performed 347
Minor operations performed 747
Transfusions.
36
Cystoscopies. Total number of surgical deaths 52
15
There was an increase in the total number of operations performed from 1,008 in 1934 to 1,094 in 1935. Among these patients who were operated on there were thirty deaths, which when reduced to a percentage basis, gives an operative mortality of 2.7%. This represents a marked increase over last year, and prompted a careful study of the case records and comparison with those of the preceding year. As a result of this study it became quite apparent that there was a decided increase in the number of admissions of advanced and serious cases in 1935 as compared to 1934, thereby making such an increase in the mortality percentage inevitable. This, in my opinion, explains the increase in the number of deaths following operation.
There have been no important changes or happenings worthy of note on the surgical service during the past year. The same splendid spirit of willing and cheerful service among the members of the visiting staff has prevailed at all times.
In closing, I should like to take this opportunity to thank my associates on the staff, the Superintendent and nurses for the sincere attitude of helpfulness and cooperation which has existed throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted, John A. Reese, M. D., Chief of Surgical Staff.
To the Board of Managers and Staff of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital,
Gentlemen:
The following is a summary of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Service for the year 1935 :-
A total of 320 patients were treated by this department as follows:
Tonsillectomies and Adenoidectomies 296
Submucous Resection of Nasal Septum 2 Mastoidectomies . 11 Minor operations. 11
Allow me to here express my appreciation of the help extended by Drs. R. P. Kent and H. I. Bixby in doing the large number of Ward tonsillectomies and in assisting at mastoidectomies.
Permit me also to extend my thanks to the members of the executive and nursing staff.
Respectfully submitted, Arthur C. Conro, M. D., Chief of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Service.

ANNUAL REPORT
To the Board of Managers
and Members of the Staff of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital,
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit to you the report and summary of the work carried on by the staff of the medical service during the year 1935.
The number of patients admitted and treated on the medical service nearly parallels that of 1934, one hundred and thirty as against one hundred and thirty- five. The number of children treated was eight less than the previous year.
Again the number of patients received in the terminal stages of their illness is relatively high. A review of the statistics and the length of stay in the hospital strongly suggest that patients and family fail to appreciate the advantages of hospitalization and the increased chance which it lends for a more favorable result of the illness-without doubt an earlier admission to the hospital with its modern facilities for treatment would give the patient a better chance of recovery and, in certain instances might restore him to health sufficient for him to carry on again, and, for a time at least, return to his work, or lend more comfort to his remaining days.
The following is a brief summary of the work done on the medical service for the year 1935.
Total number of patients admitted 130
Adults. 107
Children 23
Total number of deaths.
30
There were two cases of inoperable cancer admitted on the service; (1) carcinoma of the stomach with metastases to the liver; (2) carcinoma of the mediastinum. Two cases were later transferred to the surgical service for operation.
The total number of deaths was thirty, which were due to the following diseases :

ANNUAL REPORT
The members of the service gave their full cooperation to the work and maintained its efficiency during the year, and I wish to express my appreciation of the work done by them.
The efficient supervision of the Superintendent and the nursing care given patients by the nurses are fully appreciated and helped greatly in carrying on the work of the service.
Respectfully submitted, Herbert Lowell Rich, M. D., Chief of Medical Service.

Again during the past year there was an increase in the number of ward cases as also an increase in the number of patients cared for in the Obstetrical Department. We look with regret to the fact that there was an increase in mortality rate in this department but feel that the nature of the cause of death was such that the maternal deaths were absolutely unavoidable and all but five of the infant deaths were from causes over which we had no control either during period of gestation or at birth.
With the above record for the department for the year, we can not but feel great satisfaction in the management of the department and the excellent co- operation of the medical and nursing staff. There has been no acute infection in the department except a very few cases of impetigo and these have been con- trolled without any carrying to other infants.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent cooperation of both medical and nursing staff and for the ready response of consultants at all times.
Respectfully submitted, Joshua W. Clarke, M. D., Chief of Obstetrical Staff.

ANNUAL REPORT
To the President and Board of Managers, Sturdy Memorial Hospital, Attleboro, Mass.
Gentlemen:
A review of the work of the Department of Anesthesia for the year 1935 shows a satisfactory continuation of the service rendered in past years. There has been especial care taken in the consideration of the type of anesthetic pro- cedure used in each case, the final decision resting altogether on the safety and postoperative comfort of the individual patient.
The members of this department have given anesthesia in one thousand of the eleven hundred forty-five operations during the year. The very low mor- bidity following these is very gratifying.
Appreciation and thanks is extended to the Administrative, Nursing, Operat- ing Room and Surgical departments for their cooperation and especial credit to Doctors Battershall and Stobbs for their many hours of faithful service.
Respectfully submitted, Frederick V. Murphy, M. D., Chief of Department of Anesthesia.
To the Board of Managers, and Staff of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital,
Gentlemen:
The Physiotherapy Department has continued its routine work during the year with only minor changes.
Cases referred usually from the surgical service have received appropriate treatment, and we believe that in many instances suffering has been relieved, function has been more rapidly restored, and the length of stay in the hospital has been shortened.
It seems reasonable to conclude that the possibility of results such as these justify the employment of physiotherapy in an increasing number of cases as an adjunct to medicine and surgery in the treatment of many conditions that are constantly occurring in a general hospital such as ours.
The department should grow, and its service should become more useful each year to the hospital. Modern equipment should be installed from time to time to meet these demands.
I wish to express my appreciation of the confidence shown in the work of the department by the members of the staff who have referred cases for treatment. Their cooperation together with that of the department technician who has rendered excellent service, has made the results obtained possible.
The following is a summary of the work done during 1935 :-
Number of patients admitted to the department. 41 Number of visits made to the department 477
Treatments given :
Massage. 241

The Purchasing Committee, headed by Mrs. Gertrude Sweet, has functioned with its usual efficiency, in fact, remarkably well because there have been less funds for the same needs which has entailed much thought and planning. Two Frigidaires, and a large rug being some of the large necessities purchased.
Miss Dorothy Thayer, Chairman of the Sewing Cominittee, has given out and had returned an enormous amount of much needed work done by various societies.
Mrs. Alice Stobbs reported an unusually successful donation day, although it was feared that less would be given than in previous years.
The free beds were used as follows: women's-6 times, total 64 days; child's beds-2 times, total 57 days; maternity bed-5 times, total 53 days.
While the work of the Aid Association has not been spectacular in any way perhaps at no time has so much thought and care been put into it. All those who have contributed in any way to this work are most sincerely thanked and their energy and skill most appreciated.
Very respectfully submitted,
Alice M. Richardson, Secretary.
