Hospital President Gives Year-End Report

Mrs. Koplar Gives Nursing School $10,000 Scholarship

Dr. J. G. Probstein, senior surgeon, Jew- ish Hospital, close friend and relative of Mrs. Jeanette Koplar, acted as emissary in presenting a check for $10,000 to David A. Gee, executive director of the hospital.

The generous gift was made upon the suggestion and advice of Dr. Probstein, and will be used to establish a fund to be known as the Sam and Jeanette Koplar Nursing Scholarship Fund.

Executors of the estate of the late Sam Koplar, acting for Mrs. Koplar, designated this to be used for nursing education of graduate nurses of Jewish Hospital.

The scholarship will be awarded each year at the nurse's graduation exercises. The same hospital nursing committee which governs other nursing scholarship awards will make the selection.

In establishing this fund, Mrs. Koplar continues her philosophy of achievement and concern. Funds for rehabilitation equipment for physical and occupational therapy have been made possible by the children of Mrs. Koplar. This tribute is known as the Sam and Jeanette Koplar Rehabilitation Equipment Fund.

Not only has she been active in civic and business enterprises, but she is also the mother of three children: Harold Kop- lar, Mrs. Lillian Shenker, and Mrs. Betty Bennett.

According to Dr. Probstein, Mrs. Koplar represents an era of "learn and do".

"And this is the same philosophy she continues to the present day," he added.

Her late husband, Sam Koplar, was a man of vision and ability. His achieve- ments throughout the city are well-known. As an outstanding builder, he was re- sponsible for many of the fine landmarks in St. Louis, among them the Park Plaza Hotel.

He and his wife represented the spirit of co-operation and achievement with their family and with their city.

Globe-Democrat Selects Mrs. Hausfater For Social Service Achievement Award

Mrs. Robert L. Hausfater, board member of the Jewish Hospital Women's Auxil- iary and member of a special Jewish Hospital committee to obtain financial support for the Ellen Steinberg Division of Child Psychiatry, has been selected as the 1964 Woman of Achievement in Social Service by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Her welfare work in the St. Louis area began when she spent three years in the Division of Pupil Welfare and Adjustment of the St. Louis Public Schools after receiving a master's degree in social work from Washington University.

Currently her biggest job is serving as member of the Missouri State Committee on a Comprehensive Mental Health Plan. This group was established to survey the mental health needs and resources throughout the state. The parent committee has set up half-a-dozen subcommittees and

Mrs. Hausfater is chairman of the group studying resources for children and youth.

Other jobs she holds in the health and welfare field include: board member of the Missouri Association for Social Welfare, as well as the St. Louis area division, steering committee member of the Missouri Council on Children and Youth; board member of the Miriam School; member of the co-ordination committee on mental health of the Health and Welfare Council of St. Louis. For the second consecutive year, she is campaign chairman for the Jewish Federation Women's division and vice president of it's board of directors; and on the board of trustees of the St. Louis Jewish Light.

In 1960 she was a delegate to the White House Conference on Children and Youth in Washington, D. C.

"Our goal is to render the finest in patient care, and to achieve this goal, our hospital must continue to be an outstanding hospital." Joseph Ruwitch, president of the Jewish Hospital board of directors, told an assembly of medical and adminis- trative staff members at a year-end informal meeting.

This second annual session was held in Steinberg Auditorium December 29 to inform hospital personnel of present hospital activities and future plans. In ex- tending New Year's greetings to the group, Mr. Ruwitch said that 1964 was a year of accomplishment for Jewish Hospital and the staff was to be congratulated for their part in helping to achieve fine medical care.

In discussing Jewish Hospital as a teaching hospital, he cited the importance of actively engaging in medical education for nurses, residents and interns.

"In addition," he said, "our hospital is and must continue to be engaged in a broad spectrum of medical research. This year we increased our number of ward beds in medicine from 20 to 30. In 1965 we will increase our number of surgical ward beds from 30 to 40."

Mr. Ruwitch said Jewish Hospital is fortunate in having Dr. Stanford Wessler as our physician-in-chief, as well as having him serve as a full professor of medicine at Washington University Medical School.

He briefly outlined the future plans of WUMSAH, officially known as the Wash- ington University School of Medicine and Associated Hospitals.

"This will be the only medical center of its kind in the country", Mr. Ruwitch explained, "and we are happy to be a part of it."

Plans for construction of the new nursing school addition were completed in 1964 and ground will be broken within the next 30 days. This unit which will be con- structed onto the already existing Moses Shoenberg School of Nursing will expand the facilities to accommodate 235 student nurses and female house officers. The nursing addition is scheduled for comple- tion by late 1965.

Early summer will be the time for ground breaking ceremonies for the Charles and Florence Yalem Research Building. "This two million dollar research facility is not only vitally needed by the hospital but will lend prestige and dignity which will help us attain our basic goal of fine patient care," Mr. Ruwitch said.

Dr. Stanford Wessler Moderates Panel Discussion Dr. Stanford Wessler, physician-in-chief,

Jewish Hospital, moderated a panel discussion titled, "Doctor's Dilemma Anti- coagulant and Thrombolytic Therapy in Coronary Artery Disease?" The special session was presented Tuesday, December 29, in Steinberg Auditorium.

Discussors on the panel included: Jack Hasson, M.D., assistant professor of pathology, Washington University and director, department of pathology, Jewish Hospital; Edward Massie, M.D., associate clinical professor of medicine, Washington University and director, heart station, Jewish Hospital; Sol Sherry, M.D., professor of medicine, Washington University and associate physician, Barnes Hospital; Arthur E. Strauss, M.D., assistant clinical professor, emeritus, Washington University and consulting cardiologist, Jewish Hos- pital of St. Louis.

Doctor Treats Aches, Pains; Gives Advice on Marital Ills

Why would a successful doctor turn to marriage counseling?

Dr. B. Y. Glassberg's answer is simple: "I found many of my patients had no organic disease. Their pains were a re- flection of their dissatisfaction with marriage. So I studied marriage counseling, took courses in it, did a lot of reading and passed two examinations to qualify for membership in the American Association of Marriage Counselors."

Now, Dr. Glassberg, internist at Jewish Hospital, and lecturer and commentator on a weekly KMOX radio program, finds his patients come as often with marital problems as physical complaints.

"Many couples are afraid of marriage counseling or other forms of therapy. Men are more likely to be afraid than women; often they misunderstand what marriage counseling is.

"The counselor rarely gives direct advice, but rather seeks to help each spouse discover why the marriage is unsatisfactory and the reasons for his own behavior and attitudes.

"A significant source of difficulty is the failure of the husband and wife to rec- ognize the basic differences, particularly in emotions, goals, values and attitudes toward child rearing that do exist between males and females.

"Marriage problems hit at every social, cultural and economic level though their specific manifestations may be different.

"For instance, in the upper and middle classes, the present day wife is likely to eliminate her husband from a significant place in decision making. In the low economic and social levels, the wife re- gards her husband more as a ruler than a leader.

"Such a wife accepts sexual relations as a duty, not as sexually rewarding, while the middle and upper class wife is likely to have discovered that marital intimacy af- fords mutually gratifying release.

"Marriage, of course, is not just a sexual relationship, but the quality of the sexual relationship is influential in deter- mining the quality of the far larger non- sexual part of the marriage, and vice- versa.

"One of the reasons for the increasing divorce rate is that marriage was formerly an institution in which men and women put up with one another. Today, it is re- garded as a companionship affording mutual sharing, support, encouragement, tolerance and sympathy. Each partner de- mands these satisfactions for his ego needs; if he doesn't find them—divorce. The basic difficulty, however, lies in the personality structure of the mate who wants a divorce. Evidence shows that each successive marriage lasts shorter and shorter periods.

"Some marriages are begun with hostil- ity, without any devotion to one another. Perhaps the individuals are in love with the idea of love rather than a person.

"In my opinion, any young couple plan-

ning marriage has much to gain from premarital counseling—to enable them to get a better view of themselves and of their genuine desire to satisfy the needs of a mate. Premarital counseling is designed to enable a particular man and a particular woman to establish a meaningful and con- tentment producing marriage.

"If spouses could acquire tolerance for the idiosyncracies of their mates; if they could learn to communicate effectively, listen to expressions of anger voiced by their mates and work out their differences through emphatic communication, marriages would have more meaning.

"If the marriage is mutually meaningful, not just sexually satisfying, infidelty is unlikely. There is more to marriage than sex."

Jewish Hospital publications recently won three awards.

The Visitor's Kit which includes all departmental brochures and patient litera- ture won the silver award in the annual Art Directors Club of St. Louis judging. The kit was entered by its designers, Frank/James Productions, of which Robert Rubright, former public relations director, is vice-president.

"216" was given first place, in hospital newsletters, by the Missouri Hospital As- sociation in Kansas City. The Auxiliary newsletter, "The Women" won an honor- able mention award.

Young People Raise Money For Child Psychiatry Division

After reading about the Ellen Steinberg Division of Child Psychiatry in the news- papers, five girls, ages 5 to 12, staged a backyard carnival to raise money for the unit.

25 neighborhood children paid the 2<- admission fee; then, for a penny-a-play, competed for prizes at the fish pond, dart board, grab bag and other booths. Prizes— toys and books donated by the girls—were awarded to the winners.

The girls, Amy Zussman, Carol Faiffier and Ellen Fein, spent 3 days setting up the day-and-a-half carnival on the patio of

Rae and Jill Farber's home, 716 Gralee Lane.

Pancake Breakfast Held

A pancake breakfast, sponsored by two teenage JCCA clubs raised $250 for the Ellen Steinberg Division of Child Psychia- try at Jewish Hospital.

The "Paul Bunyan Pancake Feast" featuring "all you can eat for $1" was held November 29 at the JCCA by the Aris- tocrats, a 12th grade boys club and aided by the Avivah, a 12th grade girls club.

Students Reveal Nursing Feelings In MCRC Study

What do nursing students dread most about nursing school? One half of the freshman class of 1965 at Jewish Hospital School of nursing expected to have trouble with homework.

What do nursing students expect to like? The majority said direct patient care — meeting and helping people — as long as the patients were not unco- operative, demanding or irritable.

This information came from a study by the Medical Care Research Center at Jewish Hospital on all aspects of nursing education. For the past two years students, instructors and administrators, at Jewish Hospital have participated in the intensive study designed to help nursing schools plan their programs.

The first group to be studied was the freshman class of 1965. Summarized below are some of the characteristics of that class, believed to be typical of recent classes.

Seventy-five per cent of the freshman class lived in the St. Louis metropolitan area and over 50 per cent lived in St. Louis city. Seventy-five per cent of the students had never lived away from home.

When did they first decide on a nursing career? Many students considered nursing at an early age: (33 per cent between the ages of 6 and 13, and 33 per cent between the ages of 14 and 15). Two-thirds of the girl's families encouraged this decision, although over one-half said the decision had been left up to them.

A major influence on the girls decision to enter nursing was past personnal experience, such as former contact with nursing personnel or past experience in a medical setting. More than one half of the girls said they knew a practicing register- ed nurse and only 5 per cent said they did not know anyone in nursing. Almost half of the students had never cared for a sick person.

The most frequent alternate career considered was teaching (as mentioned by 31 per cent).

When asked about their future plans, almost half of the students said they planned to continue their education after nursing school. Almost all were planning to make a career of nursing — even if married.

Over 95 per cent said marriage was expected though many did not plan to marry sooner than three years after receiving their RN degree. Of those planning to marry, over one-half said they would like to marry someone in one of the health professions.

In general they evaluated job opportunities for nurses as excellent, but felt that income opportunities would only be good. Most felt that a nurse's income would be about the same as that for women in other occupations.

Two thirds of the students were Protes- tant, one-fourth were Catholic and about 6 per cent were Jewish.

When asked why they had chosen Jewish Hospital School of Nursing, 56 per cent said it had been recommended to them.

Students Win Talent Trophy

Two seniors in the School of Nursing won second place in the annual talent show of the Third District Missouri State Nurses Association, November 18.

Miss Helen Garrett and Miss Susan Kren, accompanied by Miss Kren on the ukulele, sang two folk songs. This was a second trophy for Miss Kren, who entered last year as a solo performer.

Other performers from Jewish Hospital School of Nursing were freshman Miss Jean Kihling and Miss Mona Woodall.

MRS. EDWARD HUDSON

Good Eating Should Be Fun Nutrition Instructor Says

"Eating should be fun. I feel sorry for the fussy, picky eater who doesn't like much of anything," said Mrs. Edward Hudson, nutrition instructor in the School of Nursing, who has made nutrition a vital part of her private and professional life.

Her recent election to the presidency of the Missouri Dietetic Association is evidence of this, just as is her past record: president, St. Louis Dietetic Association; president, Massachusetts Dietetic Associa- tion; and an ex-hoard member of the American Dietetic Association.

"There has always been an opportunity to use my professional knowledge," Mrs. Hudson explained. "In PTA, in church groups and even in my husband's work.

"He's a social worker. While we were in Boston where he worked as director of a settlement house and summer camp, I planned the menus and supervised the preparation of food for the summer campers.

"But my main interest has always been teaching."

Joining Jewish Hospital's staff in April, Mrs. Hudson was merely continuing her teaching career which started after her dietetic internship at Barnes hospital, where she stayed on the staff 4 years teaching nurses and working in metabolism research.

During the war she was nutrition supervisor for the Visiting Nurse Association in Boston and also active in the community education program.

After receiving her masters degree in nutrition at the University of Wisconsin, Mrs. Hudson went East, "because I'd always wanted to live in New England" and taught at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, part time at Simmons College and later, Boston College School of Nursing.

"I was doing community nutrition work for the Dairy Council of St. Louis just before I came to the hospital."

"We are exposed to much about food today and a lot of it is good. But the average homemaker, with no background in home economics or who has no particular interest in it, needs some guidance to be able to sift out the chaff.

"There are so many food fallacies—all you have to do to find them is to pick up any women's magazine. For instance, the use of formulas in weight control.

"I suppose these are okay instead of a

meal once in a while, but think of the difference in them from the consistency of normal food. This often causes gastric problems.

"Food has social value too. For those who need to watch their weight, and I think almost everyone does at sometime or other, there is no reason why they can't drink something such as diet cola or coffee when others are eating or drinking.

"Our whole idea in treating weight control is to follow a normal diet which supplies the basic nutrients essential for good health and leaves the "luxury" foods out. We want to improve our health while slimming.

"And there's a good chance to do that here," she added. "You know how teenage girls are concerned with weight.

"In fact, we have a very interesting nutrition teaching program at Jewish Hos- pital. This is partly why I came, along with wanting to go back to teaching.

"The integrated program we use here is relatively new. Jewish Hospital is known for its progressive ideas in nursing education.

"Nutrition is taught right along with medical and surgical nursing instead of separate classes. Diet therapy is taught both in the classroom and when students are caring for patients in the hospital. For example, in their second year, I work with four student nurses at a time, on the hospital floors. They are assigned patients on special diets for 2 weeks and give them complete care including dietary instruc- tions during this time.

"The special diets are based on the hospital's general menu and are modified to meet special therapeutic needs. We teach people to plan their diabetic or peptic ulcer diet around the family's meals. This is easier, psychologically and eco- nomically, both for the patient and for the family.

"Nutrition has become so scientific now; there is so much research, it is a big job for the instructor today in medical science, to keep up to date with current findings; and to teach student nurses how to make practical applications both in their own food habits and in planning proper food for their patients.

"Of course, I never feel a nurse or a dietitian can be a good teacher unless she applies what she learns to herself first. Both a nurse and dietitian must look the part."

Twenty eight patient rooms on the seventh floor of the hospital have just been remodeled, according to A. F. Jaquier, director of building services.

Each room has been equipped with a wall oxygen outlet, a lowered acoustical ceiling, asbestos vinyl tile floor, and for- mica covered doors. The bathrooms have new pastel ceramic tile, bedpan flushers, and new fixtures where necessary. Pre- viously there was no shower on the floor. Now, there will be a combination tub and shower as well as a shower room.

Total cost of remodeling in each room is approximately $300. However, this will not affect room rates.

The hall ceiling will also be lowered and the original terrazzo floor covered

Mrs. Senturia Accepts VNA Presidency

Mrs. Ben Senturia has resigned her 10- year chairmanship of the recruiting activities of the Committee on Nursing, to accept the presidency of the board of the Visiting Nurses Association.

During her chairmanship of recruiting activities, through open houses and other programs, the number of girls applying for admission to The Jewish Hospital School of Nursing has increased.

"We are happy that Mrs. Senturia will continue as a member of the Committee on Nursing and that she has consented to work in recruiting under the new leader- ship," Miss Edna E. Peterson, director of nursing service, said.

Mrs. Jack Goldman has been appointed to succeed Mrs. Senturia.

with vinyl. The fifth and sixth floors have a new lowered ceiling.

One of the three delivery rooms has been converted into a recovery room — reconvertable to a delivery room when needed.

In addition, a linen chute from the operating room to the laundry room has been completed.

Hospital Adds Inhalation Therapist

Larry Muesch has joined Jewish Hos- pital's staff as a full-time inhalation therapist.

He's on call to administer inhalation therapy treatment to patients who have trouble breathing.

The method of overcoming deficiencies or abnormalities in breathing and supply- ing enough oxygen to the blood, requires different approaches, techniques, volume and percentages of oxygen.

Some of the clinical illnesses treated by inhalation therapy are cardiac failure, coronary thrombosis, asthma, atelectasis, pulmonary edema, emphysema and pneu- monia. It is also used in the treatment of such conditions as acute asphyxia, bron- chial obstruction, spasmodic cough and gas retention.

The importance of inhalation therapy as a paramedical specialty is growing. Not only is it used in a therapeutic and re- cuperative sense, but it also has been used in a diagnostic sense for more precise knowledge of diseased lungs.

These former residents of the past 10 years were joined at a Saturday morning breakfast in the hospital by the present surgical house officers.

Director Appointed In ^euro-Surgery

Dr. Morton D. Pareira, surgeon-in-chief, has announced that Dr. M. Richard Katz has accepted the post of director of the division of neurosurgery. This post has been vacant since Dr. Sidney Goldring left the institution; Dr. Goldring now occupies the chair of neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medi- cine.

Dr. Katz received an A.B. degree from Washington University in 1951 and the M.D. degree from Washington University School of Medicine in 1955. Following graduation he served a straight internship in Medicine on the Washington University Unit at St. Louis City Hospital and following this year he served a pre-specialty assistant residency in general surgery at the University of Wisconsin. During the academic year 1959 to 1960, he was a fellow in neurophysiology at Washington University where he engaged in research in collaboration with Dr. James O'Leary, chairman of the department of neurology. From' 1960 to 1963, he served as a resident in neurosurgery at the State Univer- sity of New York (Upstate) in Syracuse. Following this, he spent a special post doctoral fellowship year, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, with Pro- fessor Konrad Akert at the Brain Research Institute of the University of Zurich in Switzerland.

During the research fellowship with Dr. O'Leary, Dr. Katz worked on the neurophysiology and physiology of DC record- ing of slow potential and surface events of the primate brain by evoked potentials. With Professor Akert in Switzerland, Dr. Katz worked on mapping of the thalamic- cortical projections, neurophysiologically by evoked potentials and, anatomically, by retrograde degeneration studies.

Dr. Katz, as director of the division of neurosurgery of The Jewish Hospital, will be. geographic full-time at our institution and a member of the academic faculty of Washington University School of Medicine in the department of neurosurgery. In addition to his clinical work and teaching, Dr. Katz will establish a research program.

rw Sketching Scientist Cites Medical Art Techniques

"Photos can't do the things we can do," said Mike Lipsky, research assistant at Jewish Hospital and free-lance medical illustrator. "Medical drawings are more accurate than photographs because you can bring out every single detail in a drawing or put emphasis on what is important."

How does an artist get to be a medical illustrator? Mr. Lipsky cited the following requirements.

"First, you have to know histology, physiology and photography. I picked up a lot of medical knowledge in the Air Force where I was a medical and surgical supervisor and medical administrator.

"Also, you have to be good with details. Most artists are good in one particular thing. Some very fine artists are good layout men, but not good on the finish. I'm mainly a detail man.

"After I was discharged from the service, I went to commercial art school and medical art school. By the way, there are very few medical art schools in the country. In my class, there were only 4 students.

"In medical art school we drew life- size human skeltons from actual models and from autopsy studies. We drew each

FIGURE 1 bone individually, then put them together on a large window shade.

"We did the same for the muscles, showing the origin and insertion of each one in color; and for the circulatory and nervous system.

"Many of the medical arts techniques are different than those I learned in commercial art school. For instance, when drawing an organ of the body, we put it into a "light" box. This is a box, com- pletely black inside with a light in one corner that shows out the highlights, thus making it easier to visualize the organ. FIGURE 2

"For drawings of this type (Fig. 1) we usually use carbon dust and brushes. This is called the Bradel half-tone technique. You draw the outline in pencil and brush on the carbon dust just as if you were painting. Then, with a knife, etch out the highlights and different shading values with a stump — pointed piece of card- board — and an eraser. A plastic coating keeps the picture from smearing.

"This is one of our most realistic techniques.

"Often we reproduce what we see through a microscope (Fig. 2). For this we use watercolors which look transparent. These same watercolors are also used to color negatives.

"Have you heard of the scratch board techniques (Fig. 3)? It is also used in commercial art. We use a two-layered board with a white shiny surface. Then we cover it with ink and scratch out the drawing in white or vice-versa.

"To fill in areas, like lines on a graph, there is a special paper available called 'Zipper tone'. You press the treated paper against your work and the image comes off.

" 'Instant Lettering' works the same way (Fig. 4). These are a real boon to the artist. Before, it took at least a halfday to do some of this fancy lettering. Now it takes no time.

"But this is just a sideline. In Boston I worked for Harvard University at Beth Israel Hospital doing surgical research and operating the heart-lung machine in the laboratory and operating room.

"Now, I am doing full-time research in blood coagulation under Dr. Stanford Wessler, physician-in-chief, at Jewish Hospital.

"Someday, just for fun, I would like to get away from painting details. I would paint something, not really abstract, yet representational. That's the trend today."
