The out-patient clinic of Hadassah Hospital was constantly busy, caring for the needs of the coun- try's people, regardless of economic status or reli- gious beliefs. The upper class of Is- rael can have private physicians, but this is a luxury that not many Is- raeli families can afford. Regardless of their finan- cial ability, services are rendered to every patient with as much concern and attention as the next pa- tient. An interesting fact that I learned while in Israel was that the cost of the total process of preg- nancy examinations and childbirth was equivalent to $2. This figure is indic- ative of other fees for services rendered to pa- tients; there is never a feeling of not being able to see a physician because the person cannot afford an examination. In terms of nursing, Is- rael is critically short of nurses in every field of specialization. Until this past year, all nursing pro- grams were established specifically in the hospital setting. Nurses were graduated with diplomas from hospitals but with no formal university educa- tion. Israel is now gearing nursing to the university level and aiming future graduates to the many areas of specialization. This shortage of nurses has been amplified by the _additional incidence of hospital and special care needs of the many casualities of the recent wars and military ac- tions. Many of the patients making demands on the nursing profession are young men who suffered serious injuries on the battlefield. The nurse in Israel has become and must remain an impor- tant factor in the medical and social development of the country as a whole. The general philosophy of nursing in Israel is pa- tient centered with a great deal of stress on the psychological and social aspects of patient care. During wartime, however, the emotional care pro- vided by nurses is differ- ent. According to Carol Dworkin, writing in "Canadian Nurse," under normal circum- stances, nursing care is objective, kind and effi- cient. During wartime the care is of a more sub- jective and maternal na- ture . . . "Everyone is emotion- ally involved with the pa- tients . . . If it wasn't your brother who was wounded or killed it was Don't compare the man who is without bread to the man who has bread in his basket. —The Talmud your husband. In such a small country, where civi- lians comprise the army, everyone is in the same predicament. staff- "Even the relative relationship is unique. The staff has a great empathy toward the patient's relatives. "Relatives stay with pa- tients around-the-clock, yet do not interfere with nursing or medical proce- dures. "The attitudes of the relatives are a combina- tion of both grief and re- lief. Basically, they are just happy to see their men alive. "Even after the war the mood of Israel is of a strange nature. There is an ominous aura of sad- ness and fatigue, but on the surface there is a thin layer of hope. "The entire popula- tion's main thought and activities revolve around the bereaved and the wounded."
