PAGE EIGHT Former TB Patient Presents New Slant On Health Articles Says Friends Are Often Scared of Those Who Are (Cured For some time The Herald has been publishing an article entitled “Health For All,” many times dealing with various phases of tuberculosis. This week a letter was received from a reader which said: “Your articles on “Health Tor All” are interesting and while you are so often writing about TB, why not something like the en closed clipping, which was clipped from the Sanatorium Sun, printed at McCain, N. C. ? We who have had the disease often run into people who are scared of us and make us and them selves miserable. The clipping referred to follows: WELCOME HOME IFOR THE EX-PATIENT Suppose a relative, a friend or a neighbor received his medical dis charge from a tuberculosis sanatorium or hospital and was coming back home to reenter community life? What would your reaction be? Or, more exactly what should your reac tion be? Your first reaction should be one of administration. The former patient has successfully fought a heroic bat tle against a serious, communicable disease. The doctors and staff at the sanatorium probably worked hard to get him back to health, but cure would have been impossible without the ex-patient’s cooperation. And that cooperation meant above-average courage, will-power, perseverance. If you fully realized what the ex patient had learned at the sanatorium your reaction would also be one of envy. In learning the priceless value of sound health, he has learned to live healthfully, in away that will help him get more out of life than thfe person who has never been seriously ill and foolishly squanders what health he has. He has learned the value of frequent medical check-ups and chest X-rays which will give him his best chance of preventing any illness from getting the upper hand. We should feel respect and gratitude toward the person who received a medical discharge from a tubercu losis aamatorium. Since tuberculosis is communicable, the returning patient has protected his associates and his community from the spread of his ill ness bv entering a sanatorium to bat tle against his disease. Finally, our attitude toward the ex patient should be one of complete wel come and acceptance. If anything, he will be an unusually valuable member of the community because he fully re alizes the value of self-control, of sensible living, of perseverance and of sound health. There are. unfortunately, some mis informed persons who might avoid the ex-patient, simply because they don’t understand that his medical discharge means that the patient is well and no longer a danger to anyone. But such misguided people should be told that it is absolutely safe to associate with the ex-patient. More over, because tuberculosis has no symptoms in an early stage, it is the person who never gets a physical ex amination or a chest X-ray who could be the more dangerous associate. It is the undiscovered cases of tuber culosis—apparently health people who Attention To Auto Needs! ;; Whether your auto repair job is a three minute j! < I affair or a major overhauling, our skilled me-:; :: chanics will do the job right, and at lowest:; ;: cost.
