If the patient wants to tell you about his ailment, let him, but don't dwell on disease. HAPPY TALK. Be calm and quietly cheerful. Don't show shock at a sick-be- d appearance. The patient may not be as ill as he looks to the layman. Don't dump business or personal problems in a sick person's lap if it can possibly be postponed. Ask the doctor's advice on this. DON'T PLAY DOCTOR. If your Aunt Aspidistra expired or some-thing that sounds a lot like what's ailing the patient, save the J OUNCE OF PREVENTION. If you're foggy about visiting hours phone the hospital and clear up the fog. A rule of thumb for the ?ood visitor: don't show up until he 3rd day after major surgery, until the 2nd day after minor furgery. If the patient is a woman give her time to primp. SITTING ROOM ONLY. Settle into a chair where the patient can see you without craning his neck. Don't plump yourself down on the side of his bed. It's for him not for you. The slighest movement of it may mean great pain for the patient and could cause a serious mishap. . THREE'S A CROWD. Don't pay visits in packs. Too many visitors tire a patient; two is all, he should see at one time. If there are other well wishers ahead of you, wait your turn or come back some other time. You may be able to leave a message for the patient. CANDY ISN'T ALWAYS DANDY. Gifts of food should have special bcfital approval. Flowers are fine, but not in carload lots; a uigle odorless plant is better. Books and magazines are hardy perennials. Women welcome co-lognes and men like such chin-u- p gifts as shaving lotion. SHORT, SWEET, AND REPEAT. Don't wear your welcome thin. Long visits sap a sick person's strength and may intrude on physical needs the patient wants to take care of in private". Fif-teen or 20 minutes per visit is Par STRAIGHT AND NARROW. When you get to the hospital, ask the information desk where the patient ;is and how to 'get there. .Don't :go careening down the, corridor, sticking your head in on sick strangers. If you're sick yourself stay away. Don't bring the patient a head cold; he'd rather have a card. TOBACCO MAY BE TABOO. Dbn't smoke unless it's all right with' the hospital, with the patient you're visiting, and other patients close by. Even regular smokers may hate the smell of tobacco smoke when ill; Never smoke in the corridors. Alcohol is always out of order. CURTAIN CALL. Exit on a helpful, hopeful note. Don't be a Gloomy Gus. Ask if there's a service you can render (mailing a letter, watering a lawn, making a phone call) or whether there is some-thing you can bring back Mk MMM MM M Mf WW Ml JW UK M VMt W M W WW " jggt f"j i "We're going Suburban!" ill j II ... at 2855 Highland Drive!
