Show consequence, for several months, it has been impossible to pay salaries and bills in full. Dr. Cooke has been gone from the Hospital all this year. She returned from America in September but remained in Peiping to study at Peiping Union Medical College. The Staff and the Board of Managers have felt keenly the lack of her guiding hand and moral support and are anxiously awaiting her return in the Spring. They are deeply regretting that she cannot give her undivided time to the Lintsing Hospital, as before furlo. Because Tehchow Hospital, sixty miles away, has no foreign doctor, she must give part of her time and thot to their service. Dr. Tuan left Lintsing in April after four years of very excellent surgical service to the Community. He is now in the American Board Hospital, Fenchow, Shanshi, working with Dr. Walter Judd. In his place, the Hospital was able to secure the services of Dr. Ch'i Ch'ang Ch'un, but as he is a medical man and not a surgeon, the full responsibility of the Surgical Department has fallen on the shoulders of Dr. Ma. Tho a young man, he has been equal to the task and has made a fine reputation for himself in the Community. The son of the County Magistrate insisted upon coming back from school in Tsing-tao with all its numerous large and reputable hospitals to be operated upon by Dr. Ma in Lintsing Memorial Hospital and now writes very enthusiastically and appreciatingly of Dr. Ma's skill and the good care received in the Hospital. - 5 - |
