SAVED BY PATIENCE Patience saved the' life of a two-year old boy at Orangeville last week, Zwart Simpson had been in icy water for half-an- hour; to all appearances, he was drowned, But Dr. W.B. Henderson and three nurses worked over him for nearly two hours,. and brought him back to life, This is a case that should be closely studied by every doctor, nurse, pqliceman, fireman, lifeguard -- by every one who may ever be called upon to treat some one ap- parently drowned. They should note how long artificail respiration was applied, Not for half-an-hour, not for one hour, but for nearly two hours, 'They should alsd6 note how long the boy was in the water. It has been said that after five minutes in- mersion, there is no hope, The Orangeville case proves otherwise, No apparent drowning or apparent clec- trocution should be considered hopeless, artificial respiration should be applied and continued for at least four hours, or until rigor mortis sets in, In the case of the Orangeville child, the doctor used massage, adrenalin, hot water bottles and an inhalator. But what really brought him around was patience. Dr, Henderson refuscd to give up3 he gambled on the chance that the boy had the spark ef life in him, and he won, He has set a fine example to his profession and to the pub- Lic.
