Sport check-up

Dr. Fleming urges students taking part in active sport to apply for this check-up so that an assurance can be given that no unsuspected abnormality may prevent full participation and enjoyment.

One of the examining doctors, as medical advisor to the NZ Amateur Athletic Association, has a particular interest in "sports medicine". Some years ago, he was a national and international rugby player.

When requested, premarital checks and advice are offered during the medical interview.

There is a women doctor on the panel, Dr. Diana Mason, who examines the majority of women students.

Those who become unwell in their lodgings, flats, hostels, etc., may 'phone the service for advice. A visit will be made to the student if the illness or injury is not a minor one.

Health Service doctors will visit the hospital to help arrange convalescence or do anyhing necessary to assist in rehabilitation to full activity at university.
