procurement function. The
department sent the drugs and
solutions to the hospital floors
where nurses handled it from
there.
This required the hospital to
have a large drug inventory, he
continued. By filling doctor
orders in the pharmacy
department, the hospital has
been able to cut its inventory
from some SBO,OOO to about
$45,000.
Besides that, this frees the
nurses on the floors to handle
their many other divided duties,
Berry pointed out.
It also provides a double
check on the proper filling of
drug orders from doctors, he
said.
Under the old system, he said
there was no way to check if the
drug order had been filled
properly.
The staff of 5 in the pharmacy
makes it possible for the
department to operate from 7
a.m. until midnight 7 days a
week, Berry said.
Someone always is on call, he
said.
Doctors had wanted 24-hour
service and this is an approach
to it, Berry indicated.
Otis Head, an authority
member, wanted to know if a
person could get a perscription
filled at the hospital on Sundays
and holidays when drug stores
were not open.
Berry said they could on an
emergency basis.
He said only enough drugs
would be supplied to carry the
patient over until the drug
stores open.
Dr. Kenneth Reynolds said
getting drugs from the hospital
would be more costly than from
drug stores. The hospital is not
going to be in competition with
drug stores in this regard, it
was suggested.
Berry told the authority that
handling drugs and solutions in
a hospital is more and more
specialized. That’s one of the
major reasons for the change in
the set-up here, he said.
He said the staff would be
able to mix some solutions and

Mrs. Domineck
Mae has been nursing her son, Robert,
Jr., who underwent surgery on his leg
in Augusta. And as soon as he is able to
put weight on the leg, he will undergo
more surgery on the other leg to correct
a bowed condition.
As if caring for her family and a full
time job were not enough, Sallie Mae
helps out her friends, too.
Recently she put on a wedding for a
co-worker which had to be held on her
front steps due to the large crowds
which stood in the yard.
She also buys groceries and runs
errands for a sister-in-law who’s ailing.
Her other activities include being a
very active worker in the Holly Grove
AME Church in Fayette County where
she was chosen “Lady of the Year” for
3 years, singing in the church choir and
being the church reporter.
As church reporter, she is working on
the church history and has taken many
pictures of church events.
Her “second hobby” is taking pic
tures. She has 100’s of them in albums
and stacks throughout her house. She’s
(Continued from page 1)
snapped just about every event in her
life and has many photos of her
“babies”.
That’s her pet name for the many
babies she’s helped care for at the
hospital.
A number of them are grown now and
have come back to have babies
themselves.
One is Randy Crane whom Mrs.
Domineck helped deliver on Sept. 9,
1952. She was also there when Randy
became a father on Sept. 9,1977.
In fact, she and Randy’s mother,
Mrs. Faye Crane, became fast friends
when Randy was bom and have kept in
touch ever since.
“They’re my best friends in life,”
said Sallie Mae.
There is plenty of evidence of many
friendships in her home. Gifts are in
every nook from her many “babies”.
“I just put myself in other people’s
places. Whenever that bell rings, I
pretend I’m the patient walking down
the hall,” she explained.
