Heart unit bid for four bed ICU ward at Goulburn
An honorary physician at Goulburn Base Hospital urged approval of a four bed intensive care cardiac ward saying the report faced resistance from the house committee. The doctor warned opposition stemmed from conservatism and misunderstanding and argued coronary disease is fatal unless treated in ICU. Mayor Meferman countered that wards are needed in base hospitals as up to 30 percent of local patients are cardiac cases.
