CITY OF QUINCY
January 1, 1941.
RICHARD M. ASH, M.D. Health Commissioner
Dear Doctor :-
During last year, twenty-one Pulmonary deaths were reported for Quincy. This is probably the lowest consumptive death rate in Quincy's history. It may only be a coincident but it probably means a definite trend in the fight for Tuberculosis control.
The more recent methods of treatment, such as thorocoplasty, pneumo injections, cutting the phrenic nerve and other surgical procedures, are now showing health dividends. Certainly the taxpayer is benefitting, for hospital stay of patient is diminished by one-half, cough is quickly suppressed and sputum is free of Tuberculosis bacilli. Hence the spread of the disease is checked. Now we get more arrested cases and the life history of the individual Turber- culosis case is prolonged. The next step should be a diminished number of contacts.
But here the picture changes and at present, at least, the contacts, or if you will the public, is not sufficiently responsive to the family physician's advice for immediate examination and X-ray. The delay is mostly through fear, and they later needlessly become active cases and of course infect others.
I believe today the problem of successfully handling the Tuber- culosis contact is both the most important and most unsatisfactory phase of Tuberculosis control. Naturally to do this successfully, implies legislation to compel isolation and hospitalization of the active cases and thorough investigation of the contacts. This is a health millennium and is unfortunately far afield.
It hardly makes sense to have general laws compelling pro- tection and isolation in contagious diseases of children and stand idly by in the case of the adult. He has the option to stay at large and infect his family and his neighbors. This surely is a new order and places the caption "one for all and all for one" in the reverse. In the meantime the white plague of Tuberculosis, ravishes and kills more people between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five than all the other diseases. In fact it heads the list in mortality rates for these ages.
