Chapter 22

6th and 7th paragraphs

" I was assigned to the third floor where I had 106 beds, most of them full at all times. We had alot of deaths then, mostly soldiers who were coming back from the war in about 1946 and 1947. They were so far advanced that some of them didn't live more than a week after arriving at Waverly."
" Each doctor was required to try to help keep up with *the 17% requirement of autopsies on deaths in order to hold an A classification. The doctors rotated on the coverage for weekends. I remember one weekend when I was on call for the whole hospital; we had 4 deaths. Out of the four, I did three autopsies. We would collect the specimins of all of the organs, observe any abnormalities, dictate the gross findings, and take specimins to be sent to the pathology laboratory for further examination. One of these years, we had 152 deaths, which was the highest in the history of the institution."

Note:

While pouring through death certificates for the time frame metioned in the autobiography we found that in 1945 there were actually 162 deaths at Waverly Hills.

We also checked the fiscal year figures to see if perhaps Dr. Stewart was referring to that figure but we faund that the 1945/46 fiscal year death total would have been 163 which included a nurse that died of a heart attack in the nurses dorm and was not likely to have been included in any official fiscal totals for patient mortality. This again makes the total for this figure 162. 

We believe it is likely that the 152 quote from the book was actually a typographical error.
