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.
