Humanly speaking — Two clients share thoughts

By CAROLYN RASOR, R.N. Psychiatric Nurse Bowen Center As head nurse of the Bowen Center Inpatient Unit there is great difficulty in writing objectively, personal biases would show. Two clients upon being discharged said they were interested in sharing thoughts on their experiences here. Upon entry one was confused, frightened and asked many questions. There was apprehension about the decision even though the signing for admission was voluntary. The other person was relieved to receive help being no longer able to cope with stressors of life, this person had a strong desire to sign the voluntary admission paper. “My stay here at the Bowen Center has, I believe been very beneficial. I have learned a lot about myself through the activities, and by the group discus- *► sions at meeting times. I felt that I could contribute at the group meetings without fear of ridicule or rejection, and I now feel that I as an individual person have a contribution to make to others that might be bepeficial to them. Having my problems identified by the staff and diagnosed by the Doctor has been a big relief. I now see what I am struggling against. In light of all of this I believe my chance of victory over my problem has been greatly enhanced and for the help of the center’s staff I am thankful. As far as complaints go, I have none, for I understand that the hard things are a part of my help too.” Milford mon seriously injured Otto H.

“When hearing, a few years ago, that we were going to have our own psychiatric site here in Warsaw, I remember thinking. ‘How wonderful for people who need this type of medical assistance’, never thinking I would benefit from this facility personally. But I recently did have a need and was lucky enough to have someone mention The Bowen Center to me. Fortunately, I took their advice and checked into the Inpatient Unit. I found that they have excellent doctors and staff members who are courteous, helpful, patient and capable. Although it is virtually impossible for anyone to have an immediate recovery, everyone seems to show remarkable improvement. I’m grateful for all of the love, support and help that I received and would encourage anyone that feels like he/she may have a large or small need to call The

Careful handling of food

I By MARIETTA F. HEXRvi Ext. Home Economist | Food poisoning bacteria, microscopic in size, surround us. The bacteria is in the soil, air, water, and in our own digestive tracks and in those of animals. The only way food poisoning bacteria can be effectively stopped is by careful attention to food handling. Here are a few reminders from the U.S. Department of Agriculture about food safety for the summer months: You need to take the cleanliness habits you practice in your kitchen out to your backyard grill. Be sure to wash your hands before preparing foods. Unwashed foods can spread food poisoning bacteria such as staph, salmonella and Campylobacter. Always remove cooked meat and poultry from a grill using clean utensils. Do not re-use utensils, bowls or plates you used with the raw product for either cooked

meat or other food. And wash your hands after handling raw meats. Thoroughly cook all meats, poultry and fish. Generally, red meat should be cooked until all the pink is gone, poultry until there is no red in the joints, an< fish until it’s flaky. If you’re cook ing outdoors after dark, check the meat under a bright light. People who are expert campers say that everything looks done in the dark. If you’re heading for a picnic, keep your perishable foods in a cooler. These foods include ham, starchy salads, hamburger, deviled eggs and custard pies. The cooler should be well insulated and packed with ice, or you can use a freeze pack insert. Cold drinks in cans also help keep foods cold. When driving to the picnic, put the cooler in the passenger area rather than in the hot trunk. At the picnic, keep your covered cooler in the shade. Discard the leftover food — it may not be safe to eat.
