BUT BEHIND the numerous racks of bottles and packages lays an important metal folder which makes the hospital phar- macy distinctive from its neighborhood cousin.

In a different vein, another patient safeguard is in the anti-bioti- c, stocking of items which, although very seldom used, may be instrumental in treating emergency patients. AN EXAMPLE, says the pharmacist, is an absorpable hemostate, an expensive material used to stop e-type bleeding in patients suffering from lacerated .livers, That type of injury is commonly associated yvjth auto accident victims, he says.
