Better tools boost hospital lab service at Pecos Memorial
Reeves County Memorial Hospital has equipped its diagnostic laboratory with a Corning Flame Photometer Clini Card Analyzer and Hema- Count enabling self sufficiency in chemistry blood testing and rapid cell counts. Lab staff Sagan and Levario push 200 plus tests per run with computer assisted control solutions. The improved workflow cuts patient stays by two to three days and reduced out of town tests from $3 000 to $0 monthly, while 1 600 procedures per month total about $6 000 in tests. An EKG machine connected to a Ohio computer provides instant heart readouts.

Hess pickup stolen and recovered near Pecos
Local law enforcement recovered a late model pickup reported stolen near Pecos on Wednesday afternoon. A 19 year old Big Spring man was arrested near the Salt Draw area around 2:30 p.m. Danny Crawford, 19, watched by Reeves County Juvenile Officer John Lewis, allegedly stole the Hess pickup from a farm three miles west of Pecos while Hess plowed. The vehicle was abandoned in a field and the thief captured as officers, troopers and deputies converged within an hour and a half. Hess stated he saw the man drive off, then the truck was recovered with the thief in custody. The suspect had earlier claimed he and another man hitchhiked toward El Paso. The DPS checked the two at IH 20 noon and found neither wanted. Hess noted it was the first time someone stole a vehicle and was present when it was recovered. The truck was parked by the highway with keys in the ignition and a full tank of fuel.
