Orthopaedic Clinic
Mr. Leon Gillis, M.B.E., F.R.C.S., continues as the
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and attends fortnightly at
the Physiotherapy Department, Barking Hospital.
Mr. Gillis has very kindly made the following observations,
inter alia, on the work of the department during 1959.
"There are several points I would like to make. One
is that this clinic continues to have a tremendous turnover
and serves the need of the surrounding population
extraordinarily well - in spite of the present shortage of
staff - under the able guidance of Mr. T. Hynd, Superintendent
Physiotherapist.
Another point is that we are continuing to admit
cases from this area to the following hospitals:- East
Ham Memorial Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital, Plaistow,
St. John's Hospital, Battersea and Queen Mary's Hospital
Roehampton, and due to the shortage of beds in these
hospitals, I am now having more difficulty in getting the
cases admitted.
The following are some of the cases we have admitted
to the above mentioned hospitals during 1959:-
Oueen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton
4 - adult males - admitted for investigation and
prolonged treatment.
