All applications must state the patient’s name, address, the nature of their complaint, the name of the doctor their own doctor wishes them to see, and whether this is their first attendance, and should be made either personally, by letter or telephone (No. 2833) between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. All patients for electrical and massage treatment should first be seen in the Out-Patient Department and must book an appoint¬ ment in advance. Patients who are required by their doctors to have an X-ray examination should attend daily at 10 a.m., excepting Sundays. No appointment is needed unless the examination is one which requires special preparation such as examination of alimentary and urinary tracts, gall bladder, etc., in which case it is necessary for an appointment to be booked beforehand. Appointments may be booked in writing or by telephone, but if patients live locally it is advisable that they, or friends or relatives on their behalf, should obtain an appointment, instructions and medicine by a personal visit to the X-ray Department.
