15.6 Medical Aspects
Cooper
I agree completely that the crew area.::iere should be
i solated from the medics.
I don ' t feel that the
medical department should have anythini? whatsoever to
do with crew quarters; otherwise, I thi nk the crew
should j ust go right ahead and live up to flight day in
a motel or somewhere else, because I have a very
strong feeling t hat the medical deparu~ent is trying
to make a clinic out of this place up here.
I think the crew area should be held completely devoid
of medics.
I don't think they should have anything to
do with the running of the crew quarters.
I think the
crew should establish its own procedurns of whether
they're going to have low residue dietB, or . whether
they're not going to have low residue diets, based upon
recommendations from previous crews, fJ~om previous
flight experiences along the way, and what everyone
who has worked with it has passed on.
We hope we can
get all this information gathered up ir, a form that
each crew coming along can be given a c.ondensation perhaps
of all the previous crew' s comments on things of this
type, such as diets, methods of defecation and urination,
