Young TB Patient Describes Importance of Chest X-Rays; Program Closing in Summer I wish there were some way to convince people how import ant a chest x-ray is," a young Jackson, county resident, now under treatment for tuberculos is in the state sanitarium in Sa lem, wrote recently The young woman wrote re cently to the Jackson County Public Health association stat ing that she would like in some way to help in the promotion of the chest' x-ray clinics in the two hospitals in Medford. Close For Summer The out-patient x-ray clinics, operated as a joint project by the- two hospitals, the , health association, the medical society and the health department, will close this week for the summer months. Re-opening is to be Sept. 1, according to L. O. Boomer, new case finding chairman for the association. Hours for the clinic this week will be Wed nesday at Community hospital from 3 to 6 p.m. and Sacred Heart hospital on Thursday from 2 to 5 p.m. These will be the last for the summer., The husband of the young mo ther who wrote the letter was involved in an automobile ac cident not long ago and was taken to a hospital where rou tinue chest x-rays are given all hospital admissions. It was found the man had tuberculosis, unknown to him. His family has, of course, been under observa tion by the local health depart ment and the wife later was found also to have become in fected. Can Return Soon Because their infection has been found early, this young couple can plan to return to their family, their disease arrest ed, perhaps within a few months according to Dr. A. E. Merkel, county health officer. The chil dren will continue to be watch ed by the health department and private physician and given periodic x-rays. This is only one instance in which a family tragedy may have been prevented and the community saved a great deal by the permanent chest x- ray clinic facilities. Dr. Merkel stated. There are now four pre viously unknown cases of tuber culosis under treatment as a re sult of clinic facilities, with a number of suspected cases not yet definitely diagnosed. There also have been a number of cas es of lung cancer and other chest conditions found, Boomer stated. "If parents and grandparents could just realize what it means to their children, I am sure they would see to it that every adult who comes in contact with their children has an x-ray once a year," the young mother con cluded in her letter.
