Medical Report of the Fever Hospital and House of Recovery, Cork-street, Dublin, for the Year ending 31st of March, 1879

Conclusion

In concluding this Report, I have to record, with a feeling of deep thankfulness, that during the past year not a single accident occurred within the hospital precincts; nor was there any episode to call for public comment or inquiry. When it is remembered that many of the 2,151 patients treated during the year were delirious for days and nights together, such a remarkable immunity from accident bears eloquent testimony to that efficient administration of the hospital which, under Providence, secured so gratifying a result.
