Report on the work of the Tuberculosis
Dispensary for the year 1933 by Dr. P. L. T.
Bennett, Tuberculosis Officer and Medical
Officer Borough Bacteriological Laboratory.
The work of the Dispensary for the year 1933
has been carried out on similar lines to those of
the preceding year.
The Dispensary time-table (given below) indicates
the hours of different clinics for men, women and
children, and has been unaltered:—
Monday: 10 to 11.30 a.m. Women and Young
Children.
1.45 to 3 p.m. School Children.
Tuesday: 10 to 11.30 a.m. Men, old and new cases.
6 to 7.30 p.m. Men and Women Workers.
Wednesday: 10 to 11.30 a.m. Women, old and new cases.
Thursday: 1.45 to 3p.m. Children, new cases.
New cases, unable to attend the appropriate
clinics for various reasons, have been given special
appointments for examination, usually either on
Thursday afternoon after 3 p.m., or on Friday and
Saturday mornings at 10 a.m.
Ear, nose and throat cases requiring special
preparation are seen on Friday or Saturday morning
as their inclusion into an ordinary clinic tends to
delay other patients. Such cases, if requiring
active or operative treatment, are usually referred
to the special department at Brompton Hospital
under the care of Mr. Ormerod, F.R.C.S.
The Tuberculosis Officer was officially appointed
Consultant in Tuberculosis to the Fulham Hospital,
Fulham Palace Road, on July 1st, 1933, by the London
County Council.
