. ; ?r;- THE GEADY HOSPITAL. I'nnymnnllt'ixi X?t V11 II i I I ?'< I tO til) Wnrtfu of that CbHrltiiblc Iuutitu tlou?Dr. VitmnshH's Earnest Pro tent. Atlanta Constitution. Au open and emphatic protest has beei raised by Dr. S. A. Visanska.one of Hie bes known physicians of Atlanta, agaiust tb> rules governing the adualsslou of patients ti v tlie Grady hospital. Dr. Visauska is highly indignant at tbi action of the hospital authorities in refusini to receive in the wards a patient of his, Cap tain llandicott, oi the Salvation Army, wb< is at present dangerously ill, as the result of i pulmonary hemorrhage, and who at the tlmi ? 11 mnMo r\t? tHq rirnrtv hnsnitAl wai lu Imperative need of expert nursing. ' Under the tules of the hospital, cases of con tagloup, chronic, incurable diseases cannot bi admitted into the wards. When late Satur day night, Dr. Visanska had persuaded hli patient that It would be better for him to g< to the hospital, and the ambulance had ar rived at the residence, 20 E. Fair street, Dr Holmes, who accompauled the ambulance declared upon examination that Captaii ilaudicott hau tuberculosis and promptly re (used him admission Into the Grady hospital Whether Captain Handicott has consump tlon or not. Dr. Visanska maintains lsa poln not material to the case. He Insists, however *- that his patient has a pulmonary hemorrhage acute in Its nature, which could have beer easily remedied had the hospital authorltlei ? recognized this fact and carried the patient t< the wards. Said Dr. Visanska: ' snch a case as this oue is admissable In th< hospital. The disease Is certainly acute anc not chronic. 1 do not understand why Cap tain Handicott was not taken to tbe hosptlta at the proper time. 1 want It distinctly un derstood that my Interest In this caseissolelj from tbe standpoint of humanity. Tbe pa tlent Is nothing to me and I never expect t< receive anything for my services. ' I served as bouse surgeon and physician lr the city hospital at Charleston, an lustltutloi of the same capacity as the Grady bospltal but 1 confess I never saw a case or this kinc refused. "Hospitals are of course compelled to tak< consumptive cases at times when they ar< accompanied by acute trouble that demanc Instant attention. If a man who Is In th< last stages of consumption should fall front the top ot a building and break both legs, J do not anticipate that tbe hospital authorltlei would refuse to take tbe man down in tbi ambulance, because forsooth, in addition t< his immediate danger he is atllicted with con sumption. Tbe case I have at present 1b an alagous to the one Just cited. I notified tbi noMpuai oy iciepuuuu iuui t,apuiiu usuuiw^ bad an acute pulmonary hemorrhage. Dr. Holmes, on examination, declared tba the patient wan afflicted with consumption which I thougbt was Immaterial at this time.' ' 1 I>R. HOLMES'S VISIT SATURDAY NIGHT. Dr. Vlsanska stated yesterday that he wai first called to see Captain Handicott Friday evening at 11 o'clock. He found on entering the room that blood was spouting from th< mouth and nose and bad covered nearly tb< wboie bed. The patient was In Intense agonj and bis screams for a time excited tbe neigh borbood. Dr. Vlsanska staled that it toot enough morphine, byodermlcally used, tc kill an ordinary person, lu order to quiet tb< patient. The case was gradually oontrollec in tbe course of a few hours and by morning only a Blight, occasional flow was noticeable Tbe physician staid with his patient all night and Saturday morning suggeBieu 10 oiui mm ne would be better off in the hospital, where heoouldget constant, expert nursing. Tb< patient objected to being taken to the hospita at that time. Saturday night at 10:80o'clock, Dr. Vlsanski wa# again called to the residence on Fall street and found Captain Handicott in great pain, although the bemorage had ceased. Dr Vlsanska stated that be foand with him twt soldiers of the Salvation Army, neither oi whom could give him the attention required and he again urged the patient to consent tc go to the hospital. ' I went to my home," Dr.Visanska said "and I called up Dr. Brewster at the hospita! and told him I bad a case oi curable pulmo nary bemorage I wanted to send him foi treatment. Tnat hemorage was already contrnlloH Thaamhnlaniw rMnnnded DromDtU and the preliminary examination by Dr Holmes began. Tbe doctor percussed and ausculated tbe chest and greatly annoyed tbe patient. His thumping caused Captain Handlcott great pain, and I saw each time tbat tbe patient flinched under tbe tapB on cbest. Dr. Holmes then wanted to tarn tbe patient over on bis back to complete bis ex amlnatlod, but tbls I refused to allow and told blm not to disturb tbe patient any furth er. Tbat If be did not think tbe case one foi tbe hospital to let tbe patient alone. Dr Holmes tben said be tbougbt there was s dullness In tbe cbest due to consumption. J told bim, tben, tbat I was not treating tbe patient lor consumption, but for pulmonary hemorrhage, curable and acute. I asked him to carry tbe patient to the hospital and treal him for tue acute trouble and stated my be lief to be tbat he would recover his stredgtt In tbe course of a few days. This proposition was refused, Dr. HolmeB saying tbat If be did so "tbe boprd would Jump on us." "1 went to my borne and telephoned Dr Brewster at the hospital, as I wanted to tel him of tbe result of tbe examination. I agate asked Dr. Brewster to take Captain Handl * cottand keep bim until be was over his pres ent trouble?tbat the patient needed nursing he could not get at home. "I understood Dr. Brewster at this point t< say: 'Holmes did not exactly understand, and that he would send for tbe patient next morning. I told Dr. Brewster I knew tbi horses bad not been taken out yet and tbat It \ would be best to send for tbe patient at once He refused to do this, however, and agalc stated that he would send for tbe patient ic tbe morning. Dr. Brewster asked me if anj one would take Captain Handlcott back in i few days, in case he did not want to keef him. I answered yes." AMBULANCE DID NOT COME. Yesterday morning, according to the prom ise made by Dr. Brewster, 'Dr. Vlsanska ex ? pected to see bis patient removed from tbi Fair street residence, but be stated the ambu lance did not come. Dr. Vlsan8ka said be was greatly irrltatec at the refusal of Dr. Brewster to send for tb< patient Sunday morning aud could not un derstand wby be had not done so. Yesterday, however, the patient was greatlj improved and Dr. Vlsanska announced thai If the ambulance came at all, he would noi 'give bis permission for Captain Handlcott tc be removed. "I cannot understand such management,' said Dr. Vlsanska. "I have nothing agalnsi any one connected with the hospital, but It ii the rules of the Institution that I do object to In the Charleston hospital, where tbey take tuberculosis cases, the death rate in thewardi to the same number of patients will com pan favorably with that at the Grady hospital." PATIENT TALKS OK HIS CONDITION. Captain Handlcott was seen at blB home or Fair street by a representative of The Constl tutlon yesterday. The patient was found to be a man of splen did proportions, young and muscular, and without the outward signs of consumption He said he was twenty-five years of age Being asked If he had ever been examined bj a physician, be replied: "Yes, eighteen months ago, when 1 wai commissioned 1 was examined and the ex pert at that time told me I was in perfect con dltlon. 1 have been blowing the cornet foi thrpe vpars and never noticed anv troubh with my lungs." Captain Handlcott stated that be bad gain ed weight rather than lost weight In the las six months. He said be was never afflicted with coughing or night sweats, common lr persons having consumption. Captain Handlcott was on the opinion tbal if he had consumption it waa matter of newi to him. HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES TALK. A Constitution reporter called at the Gradj hospital. Superintendent Brewster and Dr Holmes were not In. Dr. Moncrief, however was present and stated that be was familial with the circumstances ot the case. "According to rules of the hospital we can not take cases of tuberculosis," said Dr. Mon fcrief. "We have no provision for such cases?n< Isolated wards, and It would be unfair to tb< patients in tbe hospital to bring in a mac suffering with consumption and place him lc tbe same ward. We can only take acute cur able diseases. "1 am familiar with the case of Dr. Handi cott. Dr. Holmes reported tbe case to m? and I'm satisfied that he waB suflerlng witt tuberculosis." "But Is not an active pulmonary hemor rbatceln Itself, acute or curable?" was asked "Yes," admitted Dr. Moncrief, "but In thh ease me nemorruage was Muperiuuuceu oj pulmoDary trouble and we could not, undei tbe rules, take Captain Handlcot.t." It was suggested that Dr. Visanska bad stated tbat be only wanted the man to remain for a few days and that he had prom lsed to have him removed at the end of thai time. "We've taken cases of that kind, but w? found that In instances they were not taker away when tbe time came and they were lefl on our bands Tor long periods. "Why, if we'd take all the chronic and in curable cases tbat apply for treatment th< hospital would be overrun. "Personally, I think a provision for suet cases would be a good thing?certainly 11 would be a benefit to the young dootors ir the hospital." JDKS. HOLMES AND BREWSTER TALK. Lnter Drs. Brewster and Holmes were com municated with. In ronlv to ft nncotlrtn Tlr Hnl man fit atari "1 made an examination of Captain Hand! cott, and according to my best Judgment b< was suffering from tuberculosis. One of hlf lungs, I tblnk, was affected. Under the clr cumstances I could do notblog but refuse tc take blm to the hospital. We could fill everj ward In the hospital In a few days If we'd k take such cases." Dr. Ilolmes was asked If Ilaudlcott did noi nA appear to be a man in good phy6ical condl- I tlon. 'Ye8,'' admitted he, "he looked In S)retty good condition." y Superintendent Brewster was askecL/eby he f bad not sent the ambulance yesterday morn?? " Wo/? nrnmiKflH "That was before I bad received a report from l"?r. Holmes," Raid he. "As soon as he told the nature of the case it put a different light on the afTair. c "Understand me, it's not because we don't i want to take such cases; it is simply because t we have to abide by the rules of the institu0 Hon." t 0 He was asked if it would not have been possible to have taken Handlcott for a few t e days. t 1 "Well. 1 don't think he was in need of hos~ pital treatment. The hemorrhage had heen a relieved when L)r. Holmes arrived. And, ? then, if he bad had additional hemorrhages e we would have bad him on our hands. s "In any event, a hospital is no place for a consumptive. The air Is not eooa for a man suffering with pulmonary trouble.'' "What are the chances of contagion?" was asked. "Well, it is not best to have such cases in the same ward with other patients." was all that Superintendent Brewster would vouch- 8 safe. t He was informed that Handicott bad recently been examined and that the examlu- j lng physician had stated that he had no lung ( trouble.
