In Painting

of giving mass inoculations.
Even when the substance in
jected had no general physical
effect (such as in Schick test
ing for susceptibility to diph-
theria). the growth Of the
psyche with increased age is
admirably demonstrated. In
infants there may be a short
cry of pain at the moment of
injection. BY the first school
years, a child in line may
start to cry. By 5th-grade
level one or two children in
each hundred injected will
faint or become faint or nau-
seated after going back to the
school room.
Scared Seniors
And when high-school or col
lege age groups are involved
the physician is interrupted
from time to time by a thud,
as someone waiting in line
slumps to the floor in antici-
patton, without having been
injected at an!
II is true that occasionally a
victim of fainting viii not re-
cover consciousness prompt
ly. He should be kept lying
down. and a physician should
be summoned at once. An
internal hemorrhage Casually
in the bowel trac0 may be
responsible, or he may have
had a heart attack or a stroke.
Skip StirSuIants
These are not simple faint
ing attacks, and such patients
need the care of a physician.
Gases like these make it IN.
wise to administer stimulants
to all who faint. If hemorr-
hage has occurred, fainting
may protect the patient from
further bleeding, by lowering
the blood pressure. Stimu-
lants may merely cause more
bleeding by raising the pres
sure.
What the average person
who faints needs most IS a
little rest and a lot of reassur-
ance. If he tends to faint
repeatedly he should seek the
advice Of his doctor, but gen.
orally. remember:
Give him air!
Loosen his collar!
Let him lie and raise his
feet!
Ifin doubt, cali a physician!
