About Alcoholism - Alcoholism Information, Research and Treatment
Alcoholics and General Hospitals
Present hospital facilities can be adapted to function efficiently in the care of the alcoholic patient, if administrators and physicians will change their attitudes. Dr. Alexander Ruggie says the hospital emergency room, with a change in social attitudes and training, could be an excellent resource for care of alcoholic patients. Dr. Ruggie is medical director at the Lutheran General Hospital, Park Ridge, Ill., which is affiliated with an alcoholic-treatment unit.
