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, nesessitated 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.
