Hospital Lab
Performs Many
Acts for Valley
Since the first of this year Dor
othy Batterton, laboratory tech
nician at the Valley Presbyterian
Hospital, has been running coli
form and standard plate counts
on the Matanuska Valley Farm
ers Cooperating Association milk
samples. This is the first time this
kind of service has been available
in Palmer, it was recently an
nounced. Some 60 tests have so
far been made- They help assure
a continuation of Matanuska
Maid’s famous high quality pro
ducts, it was pointed out. This is
just another service being offer
ed at the Valley hospital.
Miss Batterton reported in the
Hospital quarterly report that
antibiotic sessitivity tests are
proving very useful. Authorized
by the physician, the test tells
which antibiotic drug is most
effective during an infection.
She has tested about four pa
tents each month, at a cost of $15
per patient.
The technician also reported
that since January 1 she has per
formed 202 diagnositc X-rays.
Other statistics for the same
period are 39 electro-cardiograms,
72 blood tests on blood donors,
47 tissue samples forwarded to
Virginia Mason clinic, 229 urin
alyses, and over 728 blood studies.
Niemi said that since the Al
aska Road Commission initiated
its safety program in 1949, acci
dents in operations throughout
the Territory have been reduced
approximately 50 percent. Safe
ty meetings are held in all the
camps and installations at least
once a month. Competition am
ong the five Road Commission
districts is keen. The District
with the best record for the year
is awarded a plaque and entitled
to fly the safety flag.
“We have to keep safety alive
at all times,” he said. “Safety in
operation of equipment, in first
aid and construction practices, in
comprehensive drivers’ tests, In
enlisting motorists to report any
hazardous conditions on the high
ways. This pre-construction sea
son conference is important to
everyone." *
