CITY PHYSICIAN'S REPORT.
The City Physician, at the end of another year of official duty, in accordance with a By Law of the city relating to his office, begs leave to present the follow- ing as his annual report.
For the past year, though no epidemic of a dangerous character has visited the city, extended calls have been made upon the city for the services of the city physi- cian. Two hundred and eighty visits have been made to the poor in the city-and forty office consultations have been given. Twelve visits have been made to the police office, and fifty nine to the city hospital and alms house. In the month of June the small pox prevailed in the city to a limited extent, and three cases came un- der the care of the city. A temporary hospital was erected on the grounds of the city farm, at some distance from the house. These cases were all taken care of there, and all, though severely sick, recovered favorably. The inconvenience of this arrangement was noticed at every visit. The hospital was too far from the alms house for proper supervision by its officers, the food could not be furnished in proper condition for the patients, water was not to be had upon the premises, and . in rainy and boisterous weather the building was cold and drenched with water. No competent nurse could be provided, for no one was found who was willing to isolate himself for weeks from all the world, and spend
1
29
222
his nights on a bunk, in the same room with a case of this loathsome disease, subject to all these inconven- iences. Consequently no adequate nursing was obtained, and actually for a time, one sick patient while convales- ing, was nurse to another sick patient, and though a female, was obliged to spend the night in the same room with the patient -- who was a man -- and a stranger. The city authorities saw at once the evils of this plan, and the scandal to which it might give rise, and partly per- fected a plan-to erect on the grounds of the city farm, a building with apartments for a nurse and patients of both sexes, separate and distinct from each other-with water, and the proper accommodations for the prepara- tion of diet for the sick. The city physician most earn- estly recommends the present city government to carry out the plan thus proposed. In case of another epidemic of this disease-such a building already provided by them, would relieve the board of overseers of the poor of a great amount of responsibility, lighten in a material manner the labor of the attending physician, and be a comfort in every respect to the unfortunate and pitiable victims, of this foul and dreaded disease.
The number of deaths of patients under care of the city, has been for the past year unusually small, only four are recorded, of which the following is the list :
January, Eveline Knapp, age 30, Consumption.
Michael Barrett, " 19, Mos Scarlatina.
February, James Hagan, 60, Lung Fever.
April, Patrick Shea, 66 20, Typhoid Fever.
The odium that is attached to the name of poor house and alms house, lessens in a considerable degree the in- fluence of our most excellent institution. Patients with
223
acute diseases, and with accidents, express the most de- cided aversion to being removed to a poor house. Dis- abled it may be while away from comfortable homes, and employed in our shops, they find themselves perhaps in a crowded boarding house, where the necessary care and nursing cannot conveniently be had. If in these circum- stances, they are obliged to apply to the city for aid, we cannot refuse to assist them, and it becomes the duty of the overseers to find a place where the proper apart- ments and necessary attention can be obtained. This duty involves great labor and anxiety to them, and a vastly increased expense to the city, or to the towns to which they belong, and often ultimately to the individ- uals themselves. Other cities have entirely removed this source of expense and trouble, by adopting the name of city hospital to their institutions for the relief of the sick and the destitute. I earnestly recommend that the city government of our own beloved city follow their example -- and by a vote, change the name of our noble institution for ever, from that of poor house, to the more humane, enlightened and becoming one of City Hospital. I recommend this measure because the insti- tution is in all respects worthy of a better name. It is one of which we should all be proud. It has been erected at great expense, for the avowed purpose of extended and enlightened christian charity. I never visit it without a feeling of satisfaction that I belong to the city which has provided and endowed it. I know from personal observation and inquiry, that no city of the size of our own in the Commonwealth, can boast of an institution so well endowed, so creditable in appear-
224
ance, or so well and ably managed. It is a discredit to us that in this age of progress, its usefulness should be in any way impaired, by the odium of an antiquated and most unfortunate name.
Since I have held the office of city physician, I have been called upon in several instances, to treat cases which required the application of surgical apparatus and dressings. In these cases I have been obliged either to furnish the apparatus myself, or to borrow them of my medical brethren, or of the District Medical Society. This is not as it should be, and I recommend that at the City Hospital, a small dispensary be established, where the most useful medicines can be kept, and where the city physician can find a set of common fracture splints, bed pans, syringes, and bandages, on hand and ready for immediate use. An appropriation of one hundred dollars would provide them all; and save the necessity of borrowing these necessary articles for the use of the city.
In view of the possible advent of the cholera to the city in the course of the present season, the city physi- cian has nothing to report, farther than has been already reported in full, in his paper on this subject presented to the City Council Oct. 30, 1865.
The recommendations there given he hopes will meet the approval of the present city government, and that measures will be taken to have them carried out, at the earliest convenient period, after the coming of the warm season. The report of the board of physicians, appointed to report upon the proper sanitary measures to be adopted by each individual, is now in the hands of the
225
city clerk. I recommend that it be published, either with or without the general report, in some convenient form, and distributed to every house in the city. The time that this should be done depending upon the sea- son, and upon reports of the disease existing in other localities not far distant from our own.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
RUFUS WOODWARD, City Physician.
