When my husband was in Basic Training at Ft Dix, in 1966..he ended up in Walson Army Hospital with pneumonia....and with a temperature of 105, he had to clean the floor under his bed, for inspection!!!
They were also treating his condition with a quart of water (or Kool Aid) every hour!!
That is ridiculous ( I don't mean that I don't believe you. )

That's AWFUL!
Scuse me but I was an officer back then and that did not happen under my hospital watch. Did not happen under anyone I knew. We had issues but mistreatment of any patient was not one of them.
:-( That's terrible. I'm glad your husband survived!
