The Fed eral Aviation Agency has. be gun 30 days of round-the-clock monitoring of all scheduled airline training programs and flight operations to search out and correct irregularities and deficiencies, according to FAA ' Administrator Elwood R. Quesada. . . ing wrong could be found to explain her distress. Great confuson was then caused by a man who thought he could see a crack in one of her pel vic bones. With this opmion to back her up, the woman re fused to accept the settlement offered her, and demanded more money. Because she was quite with out funds, from the first, all her expenses had been borne by her (moderate income) fam ily. I was impressed by such facts as that the accident had been a minor one; that I could not find any sign of an injury, and she Had shown no im provement in 14 months. jne saa feature about a case like hers is that, after a year of illness, if a doctor were to suggest that the symp toms were all due to anxiety, the, woman's reaction would be one of great anger; all she would do would be to order the doctor out of her room. Went Back To Work In this case I advised the family to tell the woman what was true, that they were broke, and could no longer go on paying ( her many bills. With this, she got up out of her bed, she dropped her law suit, and went back to work. I knew her for years after ward, during which time she remained perfectly well. I could describe many such cases. For instance, an ' athletic young woman from a wealthy, but "screw-bally" f amilyv slipped on the floor of a gym nasium and felt a jab of pain in her back. Being by nature a great worry-wart, she hur ried to see her doctor. On x- raying her back, he thought he could see "a bad fracture.' "She had a broken back," so he rushed her to a hospital, and there put on a big body cast. The lady settled down happily into the life of the hospital and remained there for much of a year. Then came Pearl Harbor Day, and she jumped up out of bed; had the cast cut off; and joined the WAAC's. With out one bit of pain, she worked hard all through the War. On returning home and leaving the Army, she again felt a little pain in her back, Her old doctor said that her back was still broken, and Dut her again into a cast, Again, there were months of hospitalization, until her fam ily objected, and brought her to see me. - " One glance at . the x-ray films of her back showed that, instead of a fracture, all she had was a congenital pecul iarity, something she had had from birth. Expert x-ray men agreed with me. It seemed ob vious that all the woman naa was hysteria (not hysterics).' Went Back to Cast Accordingly, I took off her cast and threw it away. Next day, I took away her wheel chair, and then I took away her crutches. For a week she walked about town with her mother, but then, like so many Dersons of this type, sne got more and more annoyed be cause her pet illness had been taken away from her. fane turned angrily on me, and went back to her sympathetic doctor and another big cast, Now, if I had shown that woman to a jury of psychia trists, neurologists, orthope dists. and roentgenologists, am sure they would all have greed in a few minutes on three points: (1) that the bacK was normal: (2) that the acci dent was too slight to have broken any bones; (3) that no person with a broken back could have suddenly gotten up and gone to work, and (4) that the woman- had behaved TRUTH HURTS Pownal, Vt. -(UPD- After health officer Marion Nichols said the drinking water at three of the town's five schools was contaminated and -.-she condemned as unsanitary a building in which 27 persons lived with next to no plumb ing facilities, Pownal officials accused her of giving the town bad name.

But what chance would I have had if I had had to go into court to try to prove these .contentions before a jury of lay men and women . who never in their lives had seen a case of severe hysteria like that? If the woman had been wheeled into court in her hip cast,; and her doctor had assured-the jury that, in his opinion, she was ruined for life, I would not have expect ed: them to believe what I said. They would probably have awarded her tremendous dam ages. Jumps Out of Bed Sometimes we doctors will be almost certain of hysteria, and yet unable to prove it, until perhaps the woman rives nerseu away-as when, while apparently very ill, she jumps out or bed and goes to a dance! I remember a voune woman from Cuba, who, in a hospi tal bed in Minnesota, lay groaning and writhing with, what she said was unbearable pain in her stomach.. As I watched her. I had grave doubts about the realitv of this pain. Then her mother remarked that it was snow ing. With this, the eirL who had never seen snow, jumped up and ran tovthe window. where she stood for the next half -hour entranced with the sight of the falling flakes. Later, her home surgeon ex plored her abdomen and found nothing wrong.
