Public Health Service Hospital

Taxing seamen to fund the MHS was abolished in 1884. From 1884 to 1906 the cost of maintaining the marine hospitals was paid from the proceeds of a tonnage tax on vessels entering the United States, and from 1906 to 1981, when the Public Health Service hospitals were closed, by direct appropriations from Congress.

During a war many emergency facilities, professional medical assistance, and hospital services could be severely reduced or destroyed. It will be the responsibility of the individual to do all that he can to protect himself. OCDM, in cooperation with the U.S. Public Health Service, has been conducting Project MEND at the Public Health Service Hospital in Boston, Mass. This project will develop a handbook for lay use to guide the citizen concerning what. to do and how to do it when medical and hospital services are curtailed. The distribution of this handbook to every home in this country will provide a material contribution to the individual s protection. 

Later in the addiction period, the same dose of A -allylnormorphine evoked more intense syndromes, although the morphine dose schedule remained unchanged. As the daily dose level of morphine and the duration of addiction increased, smaller amounts of iV-allylnormorphine precipitated abstinence phenomena. After stabilization on 360 mg. of morphine per day or 140 mg. of methadone per day, severe abstinence syndromes were precipitated by 5 mg. of A -allylnormorphine. The most intense abstinence syndrome ever observed at the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital in Lexington occurred when 30 mg. of iV-allylnormorphine were administered subcutaneously to a subject who had been stabilized on 300 mg. of morphine per day. 

When some of the Eskimos themselves were checked by analysis of fat samples, small residues of DDT were found (0 to 1.9 parts per million). The reason for this was clear. The fat samples were taken from people who had left their native villages to enter the United States Public Health Service Hospital in Anchorage for surgery. There the ways of civilization prevailed, and the meals in this hospital were found to contain as much DDT as those in the most populous city. For their brief stay in civilization the Eskimos were rewarded with a taint of poison. ...

Pharmacists have always worked with doctors and nurses, in and outside hospitals, but it was not until 1955 that a National Association of Pharmacists from Civil Hospitals was created in Spain. In 1967, the Spanish Public Health Service created its own hospital pharmacy services in state hospitals. In 1977, hospital pharmacy services were regulated as was the training of hospital pharmacists. In 1988 the name of the association changed to the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacists, as it is known today.
