Pu
scales for thebed in the emer-
gency room.
Manufactured by the Reed
Johnson Company of Quinter,
the portahle bed scales were in-
stalled recently by Mike
Johnson, one of the co-owners
of the company.
The scales were specifically
designed to fit the emergency
room bed at the local hospital,
cradling all four wheels in small
dollies to do the job. Computer-
ized scales then allow the hospi-
tal staff to weigh a patient who
might be unable to stand or bal-
ance on regular scales. The hos-
pital already had two sets of the
bed scales, which are being used
in other parts of the hospital.
"We felt a set would be valu-
able for the emergency room
cart," said Director of Nursing
Beverly Malone, "since an
accuate weight is needed in criti-
cal care or trauma cases." She
pointed out that drug dosages
often depend on patient weight,
and the new scales allow that
weight to be taken without wres-
tling the patient out of bed and
onto a set of scales.
Hospital Administrator
Nancy Zimmerman pointed out
that with the new scales, the pi-
lot of an air ambulance plane can
also be told a patient's ahead of
time exactly so he can make plans
accordingly.
Nurse Malone also pointed
out that when using the new
scales in a regular hospital room,
a patient's weight can be accu-
rately compared from one day to
the next through use of a
memory built into the scales.
Mrs. Zimmerman said she
first saw the Reed Johnson
scales at a Hospital Association Coldwater and measured the
