Recheck urged for mischarged calls
There has been a recent rash of illegal, third-party long-distance phone
calls which have been charged to various UCF administrative phones, it was
emphasized this week by Bill D. Morris,
director of University Operations
Analysis.
"A person, or persons, are calling the
Southern Bell toll operator and asking
that their calls be charged to various
administrative phones," Morris
explained.
He said Southern Bell officials have
asked for verification of suspicious calls
that would have been charged to Purchasing, Computer Services and academic areas, Morris said.
"Those calls were refused, but we
don't know how many illegal calls were
made and not verified," he emphasized.
"Please check your phone bills and
report any mischarged calls to Peggy
Smith (x2471) immediately," Morris
asked of university department heads.
Respiratory
therapists
recognized
Thousands of men and women, who -
have earned the gratitude of countless
patients facing death from failing hearts
or lungs, will receive overdue recognition Nov. 7-13, which has been proclaimed "Respiratory Therapy Week" by
President Ronald Reagan.
"Its's been a long time coming, and
I'm happy to see therapists recognized
for their contribution to health care,"
said Bob Rogers, administrative director
of respiratory therapy at Orlando
Regional Medical Center. "Therapists
have played an integral role in patient
care for 30 years."
The significance of "their" week is
not lost on students and faculty in the
respiratory therapy program at UCF,
which offers the only four-year degree
of its kind in the state. Success of the
program is due in large part to the
reception it has earned in the community from health professionals.
A unique feature in the UCF respiratory therapy curriculum are internships
with Orlando Regional Medical Center,
Florida Hosp'tal, Orlando General Hospital and Lucerne General Hospital. For
24 weeks, in two-week intervals, students rotate among various specialty
areas—neonatology, pediatrics, adult
critical care, home care, x-ray, emergency room, cardio-pulmonary
diagnostics.
"UCF graduate interns are an indispensable part of hospital care and our
routine program," said Rogers. "UCF
has one of the most progressive respiratory therapy programs around."
Rogers graduated from UCF in 1971
with a degree in respiratory therapy and
was program director for respiratory
therapy at UCF from 1972 to 1977.
Today's respiratory therapist performs
a variety of professional services within
a hospital, but the most challenging role
involves working with critically ill
patients. Emergency resuscitation using
external heart massage and artificial
ventilation (better known as respiration)
is one of the therapist's most important
functions.
"If you have a child who has had an
asthma attack and had to be hospitalized, if you have had a heart attack or
been in a car accident and hospitalized,
then you know what a respiratory therapist is," said Sharon Douglass, associate director of the respiratory therapy
program at UCF.
