Oregon Doctors Skeptical of Miracle '
Drugs Used In Battle Against Tuberculosis
By f AUL W. HARVEY JR,
THE DALLES Wl Oreioii'i
tuberculosa experts, who run the
suate'a TB hospitals In Balem.
Portland and The Dalles, don't
know yet if the new drug, lso
' nleotlnio acid hydraaide, is' the
miracle cure they are looking for.
They have been using this widely
publicised drug lor two monuis,
and they hope It might be a cure.
The results have oeen encourag
ing. . . '
Th doctors here are skeptical
about stories from eastern TB
hospitals that tell about seriously
111 patients being greatly Improved
In only a few days. But the fact
that the Oregon doctors are buying
all of It they can get is a sign that
they think the drug might be the
long-sought cure for tuberculosis.
Ten patients here have been
getting the drug two months. They
tailed to respond to the other
drugs, but now they are improved.
One 30-year-old girl has Increas
ed her weight from 77 to 95 pounds
In the two months by using the
drug, which now is being given to
63 patients.
This beautiful hospital, high on
a hill overlooking The Dalles and
the Columbia River Valley, has 162
patients. There are 103 employes.
which makes It costly to operate,
The state of Oregon spends $350
a month on each TB patient, Tnose
who can afford it pay a maximum
ot 165 a montn for their care.
While a state TB hospital has the
lob of treatlns patients in order to
cure them, it has another equally
important task that people don I
think about. This latter Job is to
protect society from the spread of
TB germs. And keeping patients
confined and watching them closely
after they are released is the wsy
the spread is checked.
The state hss a waiting list ot
60 patients who need hospital care.
Construction of the 60-bed addition
to the state TB hospital In Salem
will take care of them.
In addition to using many drugs.
the hospital here does considerable
surgery. The comparatively new
operation, removal ot part ot a
lung to eliminate badly diseased
areas. Is performed here, as well
as collapse of lungs by Injecting
air into the chest, and removing
ribs to pusn in a rang.
The. hospital has an out-patient
clinic which has 1.500 visits a
year. Former patients come here
for lung collapse and other treat
ment. Collapsing a lung Is simple.
The doctor, using a little local
pain-killer where the needle goes
ui, puncnes tne neeaie neiween tne
ribs and shoots in the air.
Lung collapse gives a lung rest
so It can heal more quickly,
While drugs and operations are
helpful, a most vital part of the
treatment is rest. The patients
have sunny pavilions and pleasant
surroundings, an Important factor
in encouraging rest and keeping
up morale.
Everybody rests every day from
1 to 3 p.m. During that period,
a big chain Is placed across the
entrance to the grounds, and no
body gets in.
The three doctors on the staff
here Ant remember an employe
ever getting the disease from a
patient, which sounds unusual.
They explain the reason Is that the
patients are trained not to cough
in the presence of other persons.
Patients are released only when
they can't spread the disease.
In the hospitals rehabilitation
program, patients, are taught hob
bles ana. more important, new
ways to earn a living.
For Instance, a bulldozer opera
tor comes to the hospital, with no
chance he'U be able to run a bull
dozer again. So he's given tests to
see what Jobs he could do. and is
taught the fundamentals of a new
line ot work, such as accounting
The hospital doesn't like to re
lease a patient unless he feels
secure.
While some patient have been
nere seven or eight years, the
average patient whose disease has
been detected early can be re
leased In only nine months,
Tuberculosis now is becoming a
problem in upper age arouus.
There are more serious cases
among men, because men have
habit oi waiting longer to get
