Ritenour Denies Neglect Of Duty in Student Case College Physician Says That Useful Treatment Can Be Given Only at Infirmary Charges that College physicians re fused when summoned to visit Walter Hobson 'so in his room at Watts hall November 30 were branded as false by Dr. Joseph P. Ritenour, College physician, Tuesday. Dr. Ritenou• explained that, with only two physicians on the College health service staff, it is impossible for its members to make personal visits except in the most urgent eases. Since useful treatment can be adminis tered only at the College infirmity and since the greatest majority of cases ultimately are moved there, he pointed out that time which under-or dinary circumstances would be bene ficially spent in treating patients is lost in needless trips over the campus. The controversy resulted from a letter which was sent to the COLLE GIAN by hall-mates of Hobson, charg ing that College physicians had re fused to visit the patient. Lawrence L. Bedard '37 and Ralph R. Nichols '37 both became incensed at what they considered as disregard of a physi cian's. professional oath. When Hobson became suddenly ill, the two students attempted to. secure the services of a town doctor, but failed. They then called Dr. Charles :D. Diettrich, assistant College physi cian, and stressed that Hobson's con dition was serious enough to warrant treatment before he was moved. Dietrich maintained that'they agreed to bring the patient to the infirmary, but the students claim that they re fused, fearing that Hobson might , THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 14, 1933 Remaining Fr e shmen Class Heads Elected Edward Schenkemeyer, Locust Lane, was elected freshmen class secretary over Laivrenee W.

Later the students called both President Ralph D. lietzel and Dean of Men Arthur R. Warnock in an at tempt to get immediate' action from the health, service. Dr. Ritenour ar rived at Hobson's room simultaneously with President Hetzel and Dean of Men Warnock, intent upon investigat ing for themselves: Hobson was transported to the in firmary in a taxi and was discharged after remaining under observation two days. Although Bedard and Nich ols claimed that the patient was suf fering from cramps and chills at the time that they - sought a physician, Dr. Ritenour stated that Hobson was quiet and apparently resting comfortably shortly after he arrived at the in firmary. ."If they had brought the patient to the infirmary in the first place as they were instructed, a.great deal of time and' trouble would have been saved," Dr. Ritenour said. "No patient is too sick to be moved for medical at tention." Scoring the attack of gross negli gence and irresponsible conduct, Dr. Ritenour pointed Jut that 1871 cases have been treated by the health ser vice staff outside of office hours for the past year.
