Supervisor Gene Ricker said he understood a Hippie had been treated at the hospital and wanted to know what the policy was to be; whowas an indigent; was a hippie an indigent and what was the county's responsibility as to welfare and the hospital? "'Crime’’ To Treat Indigents Supervisor and Chairman, Bret Bennallack said he felt it was a "crime" thatthe public must take care of itinerant indigents who are not even residents of the county. The Nugget talked to Richard Kuwarth, Nevada General Hospital administrator to learn just what the county's basic legal and moral obligation was in treating indigents, and or, itinerants. Hospital Has Moral Obligation Mr, Kuwarth statéd that the county has a basic legal obligation and. more, a moral obligation to-treat indigents and even itinerants, To his knowledge, no hippies have been admitted as inpatients yet, -In any case, there are standard procedures to follow. In general, if a hippie or any other itinerant came to the hospital ‘as an in-patient, it would be determined what they could pay, if they had insurance or assets that would cover the costs, If they are under age, the parent or guardian would be contacted, Actually, no medication can be given without the consent of a parent, Emergencies are another matter. Emergency Treatment Available In emergencies, a patient can be put to bed and first aidcan be administered, but again no medication can be given a minor without the consent of parent or guardian. It does not necessarily have to be established that the patient has the ability to pay. They are asked after treatment if they can pay and if they cannot and they have noassets, are truly indigent, there is no recourse, the treatment is marked down to charity. Mai-Practice Not-To Assist That the hospitals have a basic obligation to assist if someone becomes ill is necessary to the health of the community. Indeed, it would be mal-practice not to assist, The major differences are in whether the patient is applying as an in-patient or as an emergency. In real emergencies, the patient will be treated. If they are applying as an in-patient it will probably be established first what their ability to pay, is. Policy is now being formulated to apply to indigents. For instance, a family of five with income of $350.00 a month would not have any obligation. For families with larger incomes falling into the category of having to pay, payments could be handled on a monthly basis. ; The hospital is interested in recovering operating expenses in so far as it can and it is =1lso dedicated to healing the sick, be they iniigent, itinerant or hip. To do otherwise would ve a cruel injustice. PEKHIGDICALS SECTION CAL ST LIBRARY Teal Ducks Bike Race Bul..
