Saturday, March 8, 1941 ^Belief In Voodoo ?fmpedes TB Work Continued from last week Today John Doe is no longer tu berculous; in fact he is a graduate of a certain small Negto churchsupported college in the CentrriT West. He is also married and the breadwinner for a family of four, and Aunt Bessie has learned her lesson about pseudo-doctors, thanks to the local?physician and a scientific, yet economical, method of combating the dreaded tuberculo ==_Th? social customs and belief^ which complicate the control* <$f "tuberculosis' among Negroes are numerous and varied. Ignorance and superstition have ever been the off spring of poverty, and the Negro. as America's tenth man, is publicly ceded to lt>e a UNJUl liuullli incnftBfl i? LI- ototlia Ofccacse Ol IU? ?wiiviii*vc?? o w a "tnt'l" KnrrirAHpa any race or nation from the fuller things of life. The conversation which took place years ago between Aunt Celia and me happened in. a_ small town with a population of 5,000, the ma jnrity nf whnm wer9 Herman immi ' grants. The town is situated near the Gulf of Mexico~in a state thai .. possesses-"! wealth of natural resources^ ~ 7 ~~ Yet, the public schools of this particular tgwn are inadequate for the needs of the cafcynunity. The per capita wealth is low, the Vate of illiteracy rs high because the majority- of the town's leaders discourage and type of education that ^^-extends beyOnd the high school level.. Their chief concern for the community was to produce farmers, factory workers for the sea^ sonal trade and truck drivers. And, of course, there were the inevitable hncohnll nlnuar onrl voryoKnn/1 "Conjur" and "Spells'* ? - v , The Negro did well to complete his high school education, which." by the way, ended in the . tenth ? grade! Many of thp persons in this community believed that tuberculosis is -inherited^ If?your mother. died of tuberculosis, you, too, were ? a victim of the germ. Others, like Aunt Celia, placed their implicit faith in medicine as the best cure ? for all ills, Som? of them believed that God, in his anger, metes out tubercu losis upon people as a punishment for their sons, ^atid should be bornf in a Bfllf.rpaicn'pd manner that depicts atonement and humility tc God. Still others are convinced.that "of dusr;in the lungs. tuberculosUlComes from an exces In the lower brackets of the-comrank supreme. That people "con jur" you or place "spells" upon you \tfhich result in contracted t'? berculosis is their devout boli' They spend fortunes ""with quacks in the attempt to remedy- theircohcfitions. Althoqgh I do not have the tuberculosis mortality figures for,_?he state or the county in which the town is located, the testimony of both the state and medical supervisor and the rural health nurse is that the rate in both instances is high. ' i There are no adequate faciliticefor the hospitalization of?Negro tuberclosis patients in the county. Patients unable to pay for private medical attention are sent, more or less, by divine providence to the state sanat^riuiij for treatment. ^ , Thus, besides the competition of W .inadequate count v facilities, the treatment of tuberculosis is fuiv ther~complrcated, and tess-ecmtroHed among Negroes, because of many 'paeudo-lteachings or their social customs ana "oeiieis wrtfr regard to the disease. The true story of the social work er and "Mother Taylor" happens in various sections of our beloved America day in and day out. throughout the years. The social worker might have forgotten hei fright long enough to have aided the other innocent victims of "Mother Taylor's" quackery, 'by ^ subtly and inoffensively informing only result?ilL disaster to their pocketbooks and to their well being Even this educated social worker appears superstitious Enough to believe that "Mother^Taylor", might have "hurt" hei* if she had not heartily agreed and recognized hei mystic powers.- ?? Terrific Death- Rate The case of John Doe is remark able in that eventually he received the correct treatment for his "pecullar illness"?at -the place w+rere hrs aunt least expected. Had John ml.n nwrl V>a txt/miI/1 ^ have put aside the green freshman P' air-and either visited the city clinic or some private physician. In either case he would have proved to Aunt Bessie that quacks could not win his confidence. The unnecessary expense and worry would never have taken place. The case was merely prolonged through the beliefs of an aunt who wanted to help but whose suspicion of physicians and nurses had exceeded her rational concept?, "" People can be highly educated and )yet fail to utilze common ^ sense in combating tuberculosa, P because they permit social Customs and beliefs to dominate their . clearer thinking. Sentimentality and traditional beliefs should never disease. In 1933 the city wher I temporarily resided had an estimated popuation of 296,710. The tuberculosis mortality rate for thie city according to its Bureau of Statia tlrtT wgg 40.0 per 100,000 for whites ahcTEIS.4 for Negroes. This means that out of total loss of 302 Uvea ^?r M were white against 211 for Negroes thereby causing the total death rate as ? result of tuberculosis to be 109.0! These statistics prowe that the Negro must take ,very precaution possible to reduce this terrific and fatal death rate. What the Negro Knows Through personal interviews with volunteer doctors and nurses in The tuberculosis clinic of our city, I discovered the following facts: a?The majority of Negroes know ljttle or nothing about the city tuberculosis clinic, or its purpose. V?Positive diagnosis cases frequently are. prolonged or neglected completely because the patient does not cooperate with the instructions of either the doctors or the nurses, c?The patient's financial status frequently handicaps his cure, d? Some persons consume valuable time IB tnn WtntC by Insisting1 upon treatment for negative . e?Frequent- m o b i 1 i ty offtimc? makes the clinical treatment difficult. f?Arrested "cases frequently fail to-report for rechecks. ??The clinic .closes cases only be cause of death, apparent cure. case by rrtobility^ patient hi sanatorium, patient in care^oT another clinic or patient in th? care of a private physician. Frequently the Jotcors and tii'sps are forced to removp plugTed dimes, copper wi-res and bandages filled with garlic, blue stone nlnhur and heaven only knows vhat else from the^patient's body in order to thoroughly examine hem and have them X-rpygd. t Th?sp poo?* -peonle believe that "charms" -will help their conlitions, and oftimes they reject -any type of medical treatment rf he. doctors- and nurses attempt o remove their honeless "charms.'* ^requentlv the patient confided ir a nurse or a doctor bv saying that he or sha wag "hurt" bv taking a drink of whiskey or by walkine -wer?cnmethinp- that somebody olaced under then- doorsteps. Again "ertain "Root Doctors" have "gotten lizards nut of people" or "put spells" on others. Takes -Too T<on*r .' They believe that these charlaans can see a person only once 'hd diagnose ..ibe case then and there without seeing the victim opnin, This mean* {hqt thev of imes criticize the volunteer service workers for taking "so long" Tq diagfTOSe their casesr-The volun 'eer.-help has stataQbat in Tftost instances certain cases become '(iHliullabh? when tbey-ara_ahln_tc. remove all superstition from their" patient's mind.
