Total 82
*This patient was admitted supposed to be suffering from
Enteric Fever but as the case developed I decided that it was not
Enteric but Rheumatic Fever. He was too ill to be returned home
and he eventually died in the Institution.
I take this opportunity of expressing my satisfaction with the
way the Matron and Nurses have carried out their duties during the
year. Everything has worked well and smoothly, and that there has
been only one death shows that the Nursing has been most efficient,
and the attention unremitting.
