79th General Hospital

“The doctor’s Oath or Hippocrates is nothing like his oath the first time he tries to find his way through this Station Hospital. On the average 10 visitors a month become confused in the corridors, take the wrong turn and aren’t seen for months. Little baskets of food and bottles of water are placed in the corridors every quarter mile and so far no lives have been lost. To get from the main entrance to the eye-clinic requires an over-night bivouac and few undertake the journey without a full field pack and compass.” (Source – Medico post, Station Hospital News Letter, Feb 4th 1943)
