Physical Examinations for Hospital Staff.—
On Aug. 12 the Culver City Hospital instituted a program of physical examinations for all professional members of the staff. This program includes a complete physical examination, x-ray of the chest, electrocardiographic study, complete blood count, urine analysis, serology, blood sugar and cholesterol estimation. Where chief complaints warrant, additional laboratory and x-ray studies are conducted. Physical and laboratory procedures, along with any additional studies, are free. According to the examining doctors, at least 20% of the physicians undergoing these examinations have additional x-ray and laboratory examinations. As of Oct. 21, 50% of the staff members availed themselves of the opportunity of these voluntary checkups. Chairman of the committee in charge of this program is Dr. Sidney Messer, Santa Monica.
