The DEN Report
In my touring of the hospitalwards recently I was very favorablyimpressed with the environmentcreated for the holiday theme. Obviously much effort was requiredto create the atmosphere thatexisted. In addition, I had greatappreciation for the involvementof staff in happenings on theward and the interactions withindividual patients.
The frequency of my meetings withemployees will be stepped up thismonth in my effort to reach all employee~ as soon as possible. I continue to regard these meetings asbeing vel~ valuable in my effort tohear the views of employees regarding Hospital operations.
I have been interviewing candidates for the position of AssistantSuperintendent for Administrationand hope that the process of appointing a person to that position on apermanent basis may be completedwithin the next 60 days. Also, wewill soon be recruiting for theposition of Director of SocialService. That appointment processwill also take approximately 60 daysfrom the time of the interviews.These are two key positions which Iam eager to fill.
We have intensified our survey ofpatients who may have potential forplacement in Long Term Care Facilities in other State Hospitals or forwhom we may find a community placement in a nursing home or personalcare boarding home. The hope isthat we may be able to step up suchplacements in order to maintain atleast our current staffing coveragein fewer operating wards.
The issue of patients' rightscontinues to be paramount. TheOffice of Mental Health is requesting that we re-examine ourcurrent handling of patients'rights with the prospect that wemay change or strengthen ourorganizational approach to thismatter. A decision regardingour structure in this connectionwill be made before March 1, 1985.
I am concentrating considerableeffort on improving the communications between Hospital Administration and the Board of Trustees aswell as trying to identify ways inwhich the Board may play a moreactive role in the Hospital. Anexploratory meeting this month withseveral Board members hopefullywill result in some fresh conclusions about this matter.
I look forward to a happy,exciting, and productive 1985 forall of us associated with AllentownState Hospital.
See you next issue.

was returning from a weekend in the mountains when
my car hit loose gravel and I lostcontro!. The car rolled overtwice down a steep embank-ment. TIle habit of wearingsafety belts is ingrained, andI'm sure it saved my life. The carwas totally demolished when itcarne to rest -on its wheels-but I walked away unhurt exceptfor a slight whiplash and a deepbruise where the safety belt heldmy body tightly in the seat. Thebruise was far preferable to injuriesI surely would have sustainedwithout the protection of the safetybelt. Frompersonal experienceI know they do work.
Kno\\~ng that many peopledon't wear safetybelts scares thedaylights outof me!

2. e. - Neither fisll nor fowl. Another timewasting action.
3. f. - Steering to the leftwotdd leave spaceon your right. A following motorist mightbe tempted to pass you on the right,
.causing a "squeeze play" accident whenyou make the turn.
4. e.- This kind of action might trap thetailgater into a rear-end collision.
5. a.-Increasing speed, when combinedwith the force of the blowout, might tendto throw you more off course.
6. c.-Switching lights on early won't, create glare for other drivers bllt will help
them see you better. That's better for everybody's safety.

10. a.:"'- Rubbing with soap could d<1lnagethe bUn/ed skin.

Inspect every fire extinguisher in your house orgarage every couple ofmonths. Look at the pressure gauge to make sure theextinguisher hasn't developed a slow leak or beenpartially discharged. Liftthe extinguisher off itsbracket to make sure thatit's in good condition andeasy to remove. An ABC(mUltipurpose) fire extinguisher should be checkedby a qualified extinguisherservice every year, and havea complete "tear-down"check every six years.

The weather man is always talking abouta new cold front tomorrow. Never oncedoes he mention the thousands of coldrears today.
KEELING OVER lli THE COLD
It's no wonder that every winter sees itsshare of ne\lJspaper articles about ,keelingover while shoveling snow from their frontwalks. Did you know that the amount ofoxygen used while shoveling snow for 10minutes (assuming the shovel picks up anaverage of 16 pounds of snow per dig) isequal to the amount of oxygen required. torun 10 minutes at 10 miles per hour. Coldair brings on angina attacks faster, andhas a strong negative impact on the abilityof asthmatics to exercise safely.
Shivering is one way that your body dealswith the cold. Shivering will increasemetabolism and elevate your body temperaturesimilar to exercising. Be safe! Don'toverdo.
TO CURE A COLD
Did you ever wonder how chicken souphelped to cure a cold? Some researchersat the Mount Sinai Medical Center say,the reason is, that it reduces theamount of time that germ-infestedmucus stays in contact with nasal passages (it makes your nose run). Thesedoctors did an experiemnt against hotwater vs. chicken soup to measure thevelocity of mutus transport. While thehot water did speed mucus along, thechicken soup was able to speed theprocess much faster. The importantthing to remember is that colds lingerlonger due to sluggish mucus transport.Poor doctors. Moms and grandmothersknew this for generations!
