Eber- hardt, Extends Therapy to Out-Patient Clinic | Undramatized and unsung, the |Juneau Government Hospital is| carrying on under the direction of Dr. Jacob P. Eberhardt, medical| |director for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, a program of health check- wg, health education, and out- “nnnnt clinical care that is ex- lending greatly the scope of the 65-bed hospital. In an effort to overcome the | handicap .of limited hospital Iacllhl |tles, Dr. Eberhardt shortly after [ms arrival in Juneat, began regu- lar Monday, Wednesday and Friday |out-patient = clinics which have !quickly grown from scattering at- tendance to from 30 to as many as 60 patients at one clinic. Special clinics for babies are |also being held and are increasing- {ly well attended: the Well Baby !clinic, held the first Tuesday of {cach month; the Prenatal held every third Tuesday monthly; (and the sick baby clinic, scheduled svery Wednesday. As a mark of progressive health \vducanon is the fact that practi- :..xllv 100 percent of all expectant | mothers now have their deliveries in the hospital, where comfortable, [leasant and strictly hygienic quar- ters are provided them and their Inewly born infants, in addition to | excellent medical care. { Tuberculosis In the treatment of tuberculosis | —Alaska’s most dread disease | where very close to 80 percent of |all natives show positive in the | X-ray and sputum tests, only the most pressing of cases can at pres- ent be hospitalized, although in many the health of other members lof the family can be to some ex- |tent safeguarded. Government Hospital facilities are limited to 29 beds for tubercular | patients and there is always a | waiting list. Within this number | patients run the whole gamut of tubercular outcroppings; one wo- |man seen yesterday on a visit | tbrough the hospital, aged about i35. is taking a series of blood trans- | fusions to strengthen her for an ’cperanan necessary for her well- ‘bemg Tubercular, she is likewise |pregnant, but too weak to carry \her child. | Ihroat glands where the mar- |auding bacilli havé brought about (@ specific area of infection, hard- lened and enlarged and some of \lrem running sores; tubercular |spines in tots less than two years old who have been put in plaster of paris casts and who may yet be able to run and jump despite the |erippling malady; a tubercular fin- ger on a plump little girl of two {more an infected cut; tubercular legs and bones and—almost all of | them—tubercular lungs.
