Tender Hands Minister to
Young Physician With
Broken Neck
DR.. FAULKNER SENT
HOME FROM HOSPITAL
PROSTATE on Stretcher, He is
Accompanied by Fiancee
Who Would Nurse Him
Back to Health

Dr. Thomas Graham Faulkner. who
accidentally broke his neck several
months ago while bathing in a stream
at Dover. N. c.. where he was resi-
dent physician for the Goldsboro
Lumber Company. left Virginia hos
pital Tuesday afternoon for his home
In kinston. N. c., feeling in fine
spirits. though still paralyzed from
the shoulders to the tip Of his toes.
He was carried from the hospital on
a stretcher. accompanied by DR.. 7.
n. Faulkner. OF Kinston, his father,
Mr.. j. b. Faulkner Of 21I3 Floyd
avenue, his uncle. and by Miss Eta
mae Newton. OF Wallace, Va, q pretty
trained nurse. who has been a con-
slant attendant at the bedside Of the
young physician ever since he was
brought to Virginia hospital.
DR.. Faulkner was first taken to ST.
Luke's hospital for treatment. There
the surgeons performed an opera
ton on the fracture vertebrate which
was declared to be highly success
full. A few days later, he asked to
be removed to Virginia hospital be-
cause ne had been an inferno there
for some time after graduation from
last year. This request is said to
have been also promptd by the fact
that Miss Newton, an undergraduate
nurse. was a member of the training
school Of Virginia hospital and while
not permitted to nurse cases outside
that institution until after graduation
could minister to him there.
NuFsed by Tender Hands.
So the young physicion was re-
moved to Virginia hospital. as he re-
Quested. and Miss Newton. his fiancee,
according to member OK the fam
lily. did all that tender hands and
loving heart could do to nurse him
back to health and strength.
1t is xaid that she will remain with
her patient at his home In North
Carolina and will continue in her
efforts to make him sound and well
once more.
The doctors. however. hold out
practically no hope for him. though
they say he may linger for several
months and perhaps a year.
DR.. Faulkner Continues in full pos
session OF his senses and has the use
of his arms. Below the shoulders
d,eer IL no feeling or sensation. This
state Of his body and legs makes lifs
more bearnble an he lies on his cot
throughout the long days and nights.
in practically the same position on
his back
Similar to Runyon Case.
The young physicians case Is some
what similar to that of Eley Black
burn Runyon. youthful son Of DR..
Emily Runyon, OF Richmond, who
broke his neck last summer as a re-
suit OF diving in a pond near Anna
polls. Md. Young Runyon died sew
eral weeks ago after lingering for
nearly a year. He was also treated
a, St. Lukes hospital and was later
removed to the home OF his mother.
AZ in the case OF DR.. Faulkner the
surgeons never held out any hope.
though they undoubtedly prolonged
his life by skilful use of the knife.
DIR. Faulkner il said to have been
one OF the most popular internes who
ever saw service at Virginia hos
pital and his sad plight Is source
Of much grief TO his friends. at that
institution.
