Ward Three: Four P.M. to Midnight: The St. Luke's Hospital Story

A documentary-style drama based on activities in a big city hospital, St. Luke's Hospital in New York City. The setting is Ward Three, the Women's Ward. Presiding over this little world is night head nurse Sally Lacey. The patients include Miss Mickler, a lonely embittered woman who makes life difficult for the nurses; Elena Ampuero, a young Puerto Rican woman suffering from malnutrition; and Mrs. Kafka, a young mother who is more concerned about the welfare of her two small children at home than she is about the hepatitis from which she suffers. As the drama closes, a new patient is wheeled in and thus life in a big city hospital moves on.
