Residents poorl CHARLESTON (AP) - The recent high-level shake-up at the Veterans Administration Hospital was the result of improper supervision of student doctors performing surgery, the Post-Courier reported in a copyright story. The paper quotes hospital sources as saying the problem came to a head in the case of Hubert Gaddy, who was paralyzed from the waist down during minor back surgery in December 1981. The paper quotes sources as saying the surgery was performed by a Medical University of South Carolina resident - a doctor-in-training who had little experience in the procedure. The paper said Dr. Joseph D. An sley, VA Hospital chief of surgery since August 1980, was fired last month while Dr. Michael G.

The sound and the fury over state Senate reapportionment begins in the Legislature's upper chamber this week, and some senators say single-member districts are almost certain to result. That convoluted and sometimes boring process often referred to by the innocuous title, "Remap," in volves tearing constituencies from veteran senators and slicing citizens out of their native counties. It also involves that most sensitive of political issues - wrestling away power held by the white establish mem in DiacK majority areas. The Senate has been all white for decades, and reapportionment is expected to pave the way for the first black state senator since 1888. No one more clearly understands what is happening than Sen. Frank McGill. Under the single-member district plan endorsed Tuesday by the Cana?n n- -- uvuait i/uuit'idiy v^uiiiiiniiee, me m* year-old Kingstree real estate agency owner will be in a district that is 60.15 percent black.

Virginia Helverson, operating room supervisor at the VA Hospital from 1966 through 1977, told the paper she complained about the treatment of veteran patients from the time the hospital opened. She said residents were performing major surgery without the super vision of trained surgeons and that even undergraduate medical students were performing operations with only residents supervising. SHE SAID THAT in some cases, the only assistants who scrubbed were medical students, dental residents and even a physician's assistant student.

He entered the Senate in 1977 and knows he's in political trouble with the new plan. "If we could have waited one more week before it was reported out of the Judiciary Committee, a lot of things could have been worked out where debate would not have been so lengthy," said McGill. But he thinks fPannArHnnm""* J"1--1- - . nvmiieiii ucuate win not take as long as some people fear. He says ihe plan could redistrict him out of a job, but he feels that he's built up enough support throughout the county to have a chance in a majority black district. Mcuui isn't the only senator who could face trouble with the new plan. Sen. Paul Cantrell, D-Charleston, and Sen. Arthur Ravenel, R-Charleston, would both be in the same Charleston County district if the proposal passes. Sen.

He said the attending surgeon must decide the capabilities of each resident and should at least be available in the hospital to give assistance during surgery. The paper said Helverson's claims were corroborated by several other VA employees and retirees. Helverson said sh6 compiled records showing that during the first six months of 1975, there was no at tending physician present at any time on 95 percent of general surgery and 100 percent of orthopedic and ophtalmology surgery. The Post-Courier reported that while letters from the hospital to inquiries from those t >ups did not deny Helverson's char^ ^s, the letters said the problems had L jen corrected. n predicted St. Helens yash.

Marion Gressette, D-Calhoun, who would be in a district 55 percent black, opposes the single-member district plan. However, one senator suggested that a plan capable of defeating a re-election bid by the Senate's president pro tempore wouldn't have made it out of the Judiciary Committee. Gressette has made several speeches against cutting county lines as the Senate warmed to the debate, but several senators say they don't see the support for a prolonged filibuster against single-member districts. Gressette's subcommittee proposed a combination multi memDer, single-member plan that would have avoided cutting county lines. "I CAN ONLY COUNT three pople who have any major concern with regard to their personal well-being as senators," said Cantrell. "I have not done that.
