Transcript of Oral History Interview of Ruth O'Connell

Abstract

I loved it. I loved working there, all the time that I was there. I truthfully, even later on in my opinion, those patients got better care than the ones at Saint John’s, and I’ll tell you why; their technicians were so well trained, which the nurses aids in the regular hospital sometimes are not always. And so, they would do, they called it "specialing," every three hours they’d go around and turn the patients, change their beds if needed, see to it that they had enough fluids and every three hours they’d go specialing, so those patients, really got very good care and I liked that.
