GGH offers CPR class Goshen General Hospital is offering a Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) class on Monday. April 13, and Wednesday, April 15, from 6:30-9:30 p.m.. in the hospital’s Pepple Auditorium. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is an emergency measure which almost everyone can learn in a short time. CPR may keep the heart attack patient alive until more advanced life support is available. When a person’s heart stops for any reason — heart attack, electrical shock, drowning, smoke iphalation — the first few minutes can mean the ditlerence between life and death. The American Heart Association estimates 5,000 heart attack victims could be saved annually if emergency care were available at the scene. CPR can provide that immediate care. It involves mouth-to-mouth breathing and chest massage to restart the stopped heart. Its purpose is to keep the heart attack victim alive until advanced life support is available. Teachers, homemakers, students, policemen, businessmen, restaurant employees and families of heart patients should all take advantage of CPR training. With the knowledge of proper CPR techniques, a person may be able to save a life. Anyone interested in CPR may enroll by calling the Education Department at Goshen General Hospital. Pre-registration is required as class size is limited. There is a class fee which includes book and materials.

Annette Beer externs at Kosciusko Community Hospital

While Kosciusko Community Hospital has been recognized as an excellent acute care medical facility, accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, few Kosciusko County area residents realize that KCH is also a teaching hospital, with, students from many medical-' related fields gaining practical experience within the hospital. Ulis spring, one such student spent six weeks as an extern in the KCH pharmacy, practical experience in a clinical*~' setting. Annette Beer, Milford, a fifth-year pharmacy student at Purdue University in West Lafayette, has been learning first hand the wide variety of duties handled by a hospital pharmacist. "When I decided to pursue the study of pharmacy as a career, I wanted to go. into a hospital setting." Miss Beer said. "I used to baby sit for a pharmacist when I Was in high school, and decided then it was what I wanted to do." "This experience at KCH has really strengthened my decision." she added, "because I’ve been able to see and experience the consulting, the clinical therapy involved — it’s not just filling prescriptions." Under the tutelage of Michael Gross. R.Ph., director of pharmacy at KCH. Miss Beer was allowed to participate in, or observe such hospital pharmacy procedures as IV AdMixtures. the Unit Dose distribution system, preparation of medication orders, monitoring drug utilisation, outpatient dispensing, ordering procedures, learning "1 had a chance to learn the whole process, from going with the physician to see the patient, to ordering the medications, to preparing the medications, to administering the medications, to following up on the results," Miss Beer explained. "In school, the primary emphasis is on retail drug sales, but I wanted to pursue pharmacy work in a hospital, and my experience here (at KCH) has really been a help." “The biggest difference between working in a hospital and working in a drug store is that you can be closer to the patient in

You prepare medications daily, instead of just filling a prescription for 50 or 100 tablets and then never learning what happens to the patient afterward,” she said. “You also get more experience with injectable drugs in the hospital, and learn the reasons for them over other types of administration, but more importantly, you actually get to see the results." r -x Miss Beer will graduate from Purdue this May and will take her state board examinations in June. After that, "I want to go to work with a hospital pharmacy,” she said, in the Midwest.

Protect turtles Newly-hatched turtles, naturally attracted to the sea by the rising or setting sun, are easily disoriented by artificial lights from beachfront development. So. several Florida counties and towns have passed ordinances restricting beach lighting between May and October, the prime sea turtle nesting season. According to International Wildlife magazine, the protective ordinances require beachfront lights be turned off after 11 p.m. or shielded so they don't shine directly on the beach. The penalty for not complying? A SSOO-a---day fine and possible jail sentence..

Camelot Flail, International Palace Os Sports North Webster EXTENDED COVERAGE By DON VLJ— -* ARNOLD ■ JH With real estate prices and building costs rising, this is a good time to review your homeowner's policy. Are you adequately covered in case of disaster? Basic coverage, for instance, should not be based on what you paid for the house, but what it would cost to rebuild it today. If local land prices are high, the policy might be for less than market value: reconstructing a fine old house might cost more. Are you properly covered for extra living costs until your home could be rebuilt? You'll want insurance to pay for hotel or apartment rental, plus meals, until you are back under your own roof. Personal property should be covered for replacement value. The coverage will cost you a bit more, but it's worth the difference. Otherwise. after depreciatioin, you might end up with nothing. Personal liability is part of your homeowner's coverage. In light of today's jury awards, you may want to increase coverage. Bring in your homeowner's policy for a no-obligajion review.
