Abstract
To study family satisfaction of medical care to geriatric patients and to find out any difference in family satisfaction given by geriatric specialist and general medicine specialist. Indian data on family's perception of geriatric care is lacking. All geriatric patients who were admitted between March 2015 and September 2015 in medical wards and where hospital stay was more than 3 days were included. An internationally validated family satisfaction questionnaire was used and administered to family member of each patient admitted. Scores were graded on Likert scale under five important areas like staff interaction, support services, quality of medical care, medical communication, and facilities. Special comments were analyzed separately. Patients’ family members were most satisfied with quality of medical care and facilities (95%), followed by staff interaction and support facilities. Satisfaction regarding medical communication and services was poor (60%). There was no significant difference for satisfaction/perception of quality of care given by geriatric specialist and general medicine specialist. Medical communication and support services of long-term care of geriatric patients are an important area of improvement. Family perception of geriatric care is vital to overall delivery of health care to this vulnerable group of patients. Support facilities specifically designed for geriatric patients need to be strengthened. There was no significant difference in perception of care offered by geriatric specialist and general medicine specialist. Jayar VR, More D. Geriatric Care: Are We Patient Friendly?

Abstract
To identify the prevalence of bacteremia and the spectrum of antimicrobial sensitivity in our community, because it will guide the clinician to institute proper antimicrobial therapy. Bacteremia originates from either intravascular sites or extraVascular sites. In case of bloodstream infection, either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria are responsible. Of these bacterial isolates, Gram-negative bacteria are responsible for higher mortality and morbidity. Since 20 to 30 years, coagulase-negative Staphylococci are responsible for most infection. In this retrospective study, blood samples were collected aseptically from 11,581 patients and were injected into the bottles containing bile-broth and brainheart infusion broth and allowed to be incubated at 37°. Then subculture was done on blood agar, chocolate agar, as well as MacConkey agar media and was kept for 7 days or till the appearance of growth of the organism. After identification of isolates, Kirby Bauer disk diffusion test on Mueller-Hinton agar II was performed to detect antimicrobial sensitivity. Our study documented 8.58% positive cultures in the last 7 years. Gram-negative bacterial isolates were significantly higher than Gram-positive isolates (64.19% vs 34.80%, p = 0.00). Lowest number of positivity was seen in Positive cultures were 8.58% in the last 7 years. Gram negative bacterial isolates were significantly higher. Males were more culture positive. Most common bacterial isolates were CoNS followed by Saha AK, Munsi K, Dhar P. Blood Culture and Sensitivity Profile Study in a Tertiary Medical Hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal: 7 Years’ Experience.
