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 Hospital report The following were dismissed Monday from the Griffin- Spalding Hospital: Barbara Dunn and baby, Johnny Stevens, Pauline Parker, Marie Cochran and compounds now and even more in the future at a savings in cost to the patient.

Page 3 i—-Griffin Daily News Tuesday, September 20, 1977 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.
