Observe Diubefes
Control Week

Nov. IA to 81 is being observed
as Diabetes week with the Flat
head County Medical society par
ticipating.
DR.. M. E. K. johnson, Kalispell
is heading the local project.
1t is suggested that persons visit
their own physicians to find out if
they have diabetes. Objective is to
find the unknown diabetes.
There are an estimated 100000
persons with diabetes in the Unit
ed States. In addition another es-
timated 100000 have diabetes,
but do not know it.
Symptoms are described as: in
crease in thirst, constant hunger,
frequent urination, loss of weight,
itching, easy firing, changes in Wis
ion, slow healing of cuts and
scratches.
The situation finds the pancreas
not secreting enough insulin to
turn foods such as sugars and
starches into energy or to store
them for future use. These foods
not stored increase the blood sugar
until sugar passes through the kid
neys into the urine. Too much sug-
ar in the blood and urine becomes
a sign of diabetes.
Other information from the Am
erican Diabetes Association is that
most likely targets for the afflic-
ton are persons overweight, over
40, related to known diabetes, and
a woman over 40 has third more
chance of becoming diabetic than
a man.
Diabetes can be controlled by
diet and by insulin.

doctors are helping-and learn
ing about-the mentally Ill pa
tient. This once was the hospi-
tails sorest point.
The current problem is to
keep these men at District Gen.
eral. Any one could leave and
double. maybe triple. his salary
in private practice. And if they
leave, if there is no replacement,
the service" they have built up
crumbles. The patient suffers
because of it.
Why They Stay.
Some will stay purely for the
research opportunities, the teach
ing atmosphere of District Gen
eral.
DR.. Solomon Albert. the new
chief Of unsatisfactory, likes the
change in atmosphere from that
of private practice. II like to
work with my boys CHS stu
dents)." he says
DR.. Sol Katz, chief of the pull
monary division of the hospital,
a leading authority on tubercu-
losis, feels he might be q little
crazy for staying. But he stays
for the research.
DR.. Joseph Fazekas, chief of
staff of the hospital, says he
would go "stale" in private prac-
tice without his research.
Others stay at D. C. General
for additional training, but plan
to leave sometime. In these de-
partments the hospital hangs
by a thread.
At present the only service
lacking is some type Of cancer
program. But how can at
tract a top cancer specialist,
says DR.. Joseph Fazekas, with
a salary around $4,000"
1t has been said that District
General is better known outside
of the District than within. If
true. one reason could be found
in the medical literature which
floats over medicine carrying the
names of Katz, Albert, Fazekas
and others at the hospital. The
fraternity of medicine, at least,
realizes a great amount Of val
liable research is being conduct
ed at D. c. General. And this
is important when evaluating
hospital: Is there any research
going on?
Patient Often Benefits.
One remarkable offshoot of
this research is that the INDECENT
patient often benefits from ex-
perimental drugs which don't

with hopes of returning them to
useful lives.
Obviously, this is medicine on
a massive, difficult scale.
Four Maternity Deaths.
What is often overlooked, in
judging D. c. General, is the
type of patient 1t deals with. AS
an example, on the obstetrical
ward a fine record was set in
fiscal "a when only four ma
ternity deaths occurred. Yet 20
to rs per cent Of expectant
mothers who entered D. c. Cen
eral had never received any
prenatal care.
In other words, the hospital
has a tougher job than most
hospitals. 1t is a rarity for a
patient to walk in carrying his
medical history" Doctors have
to work from the ground up.
The men or women who can't
pay their hospital bills usually
stumble into D. G. General in
q serious condition. They have
gone until they just couldn't stay
up any longer. Sometimes their
families dump them at the hos
pital and get rid of the respon-
sibility. Their diseases are in
the terminal" stage. They're
not there to have moles removed
from fingers, or to "have some
surgery done, ',or for a nice, quiet
rest.
Last week, a middle-aged

people, their legs gone. their

fed with the treatment they get.

District General today is ap-
parently rising out of the muck
of its checkered past.
1t is being pulled up by a thin
string which can break at any
time unless strengthened.
But, nevertheless. it seems to
be practicing good medicine
despite all its troubles-and the
reputation which can't be
changed like a name.

reach the public until later. Pa
tients there received penicillin
long before others outside Of
D. C. General. One remarkable
thing is that drug companies
not the District Government
supply these drugs, Last year
DR.. Katz received roughly $40.-
900 in drugs free Of charge for
use in his studies on tuberculosis
at the hospital. The same is
true of other departments en-
gagged in research. Drug COM
panies depend greatly on the
men at District General for an
evaluation Of drugs-the same
men who supervise the treat
ment of the local INDECENT pa
tient.

And there are riffs within the
