"Sick
Call is held every morning in your company. If you are sick, or feel
that you need medical attention,
tell your platoon sergeant and he will have you report to your orderly
room
at this time. Your name will be placed on the Sick Report and you will
be
taken to a dispensary for examination and treatment by an experienced
physician.
This procedure is followed except in cases of emergency, when immediate
medical
attention is given.
Medical men are on duty at all times in these
dispensaries
and will take care of minor injuries and arrange for hospitalization of
serious cases.
If you are told at the dispensary that you are to be
sent
to the Station Hospital, you will be allowed to return to your barracks
to
secure your toilet articles. Everything else - pajamas, bathrobe,
slippers,
towels - will be furnished you at the Hospital. The Station Hospital
here
at [the post] is a thoroughly modern institution, staffed by trained
doctors,
nurses, and technicians. You will receive the best possible medical
care
there." --- from the "Information Hand Book For The Soldier -
IRTC,
Fort McClellan, Alabama", c1944
