pronounced small pox Dr. Chung sends on without delay to Kennedy-town Hospital. Suspicious cases are isolated by screens in a corner of the ward until I see them. After any visit all cases are removed to appropriate wards, such diseases as septicaemia, erysipelas, etc., being isolated in some of the Ko Fong small wards, and not being admitted to the general wards. When an infectious case has been in the Receiving Ward efficient means are adopted to disinfect the ward.
In an inspection of the hospital I am accompanied by Dr. Chung and a head coolie. Matters I wish to refer to the Directors I usually refer through the former, and directions to the employees I generally convey through the latter, or give directly. Here I may note that the right which I have assumed to direct any employee of the hospital as to his work has not been questioned by any one.
The two new wards on the site of certain of the Ko Fong wards are nearly ready for occupation, and are to be used as Surgical wards for men. When they are opened the two ground floor wards in the North Block will be set aside for the accommodation of destitutes, in the absence of whom they may be available as overflow wards when the hospital is full. The Directors have consented to my suggestion that the different wards should be devoted to the accommodation of patients suffering from special classes of disease, and while they objected to immediate re-arrangement of patients already in the hospital, as being likely to confuse their registers, all new comers are being sent to wards as under:-
