Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Creighton Chronicle, Vol. 9: Nov. 20, 1917
The life of those in the Hospital Corps of the Navy is not a monotonous one. It is healthful and, to the average phar macist, is more to be desired than life in the Army, under the present system.
If the recruit has enlisted in the Army, he will be assigned to the Medical Corps and sent to one of the military training hospitals. There the work is similar to that in the Navy, with duties even more of the character of nursing than of dispensing.
After an indefinite period of training at the hospital, the recruit, rated as Private, is sent to one of the larger military hospitals in the United States or to one of the base hospitals abroad. Some of the Pharmacists who enlisted in the Army in May of this year, have already reached the base medical supply depots in France.
At present, the recognition of the qualifications of the train ed pharmacist is not commensurate with that accorded in the professions of medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine. However, an improvement in this regard is expected in the near future.
