Charity Hospital's Board has ordered a study made of operating room lighting in New Orleans hospitals in a preliminary move to improve the lighting in its own operating rooms.
Dr. J. L. Powell told the board last night that present lighting is inadequate. He also said that the obsolete lighting, installed when the hospital was constructed in 1936, sometimes "sun- burns" the necks of surgeons operating.
Dr. E. L. Leckert, director, told the board that the hospital's solution room has been termed "one of the finest in the world" by an official of the American Sterilizer Co.
He also gave a lengthy statis-Itical report to the board on the (number of patients treated, ex-laminations made, etc.
