MEDICAL ATTENDANCE
Medical Attendance.—Any student who is temporarily ill from causes not
due to his own misconduct, is entitled, without charge, to all necessary medical
advice from the University Physician; and, if necessary, to nursing in the
University Hospital at a reasonable charge for his maintenance while there.
This exemption from charge does not apply to cases requiring surgical operation,
treatment of the eye, ear, nose and throat, or to constitutional disorders
from which the student in question was suffering at the time of his
coming to the University. Nor is the University responsible for the expense
incurred through the employment of private nurses, necessitated by severe
illness of students, or through the maintenance of quarantine precautions in
contagious cases. Students who take the responsibility of boarding at houses
not approved by the Board of Health forfeit the right of medical attendance.
Any student sent to the University Hospital by the advice and under the care
of a physician other than the University Physician will be required to pay
the regular hospital charges for private patients.
