Hospital Emergency Room Running Smoothly

COURT HOUSE - Dr. Charles Polak, Chairman of the Emergency Department at Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital has announced that the patient case load was comparable to last June, but most patients are being treated more quickly. "We always expect to feel the pressure of the increase in population in Cape May County, but steps are taken to meet that increase in the Emergency Department as well as throughout the hospital" stated Mrs. Kathryn Sikora, R.N. Emergency Department

Head Nurse.

"Last year we handled more cases due to the senior citizen bus accident, and their encounter with acute gastritis. Despite fewer cars on the road this June and fewer visitors to the area, the Department has handled almost the same number of general emergency cases", she

continued.

"Due to the nature of the area, we at times handle a caseload similar to many city hospitals which naturally taxes the staff and facilities”, stated Dr. Polak. "Our policy must be to treat those who are most seriously ill first", h*

continued.

“Everyday we see a variety of ailments that range from heart attack to those "well done by the sun". "Some of the persons who came to the Emergency Department could be treated by a local physician at a lower cost to them said Mrs. Sikora. We recommend that in the case of sunburn or accidents on the beach that The Beach First Aid Station be checked into to determine whether there is a need for hospital treatment", she continued ' Each week the newspapers have schedules published of physicians and their summer hours and emergency phones. The police and local rescue squads are also happy to give help and information. "At Burdette Tomlin, Memorial Hospital, we are fortunate to have five physicians who are fully trained M.D.’s. who have specialized in Emergency Department care and are thus trained for this — they are not interns or residents", stated Administrator William H. Waldron HI.

"The concept of sa medical career oriented to the Emergency Department, as compared to Cardiology or Gynecology, is a new concept over the past ten years" commented Dr. Polak. All patients who come to Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital are treated - noone is turned away. It is important to carry identification with you at all times and especially your medical insurance card. If a patient does not carry insurance, there is a $35! fee for treatment. It is important to carry a card listing any medication or history of medical problems so that much time can be saved by checking these problems first. The Emergency Department is located in The Whiticar Wing, cortstructed in 1974 and is one of the newer areas, ft was designed through consultation with The American College • of Surgeons and Physicians, as well as several major emergency medical units to make it one of the most advanced units in New Jersey.
