...farther away from pioneer conditions, Dr. Reeves has lent the hospital an electrocardiograph. Last week the partners installed a $5,000, hospital-sized X-ray machine to replace a portable model they had been using. Come spring, they will start building an office of their own to replace their present rented quarters (which replaced a wooden shack where Dr. Reeves had to practice at first). It will be big enough to serve as an outpatient clinic. In it will be still more modern equipment, notably diathermy and basal metabolism machines. ("With those," says Dr. Reeves, "we'll have...
...Next month a new 59-bed, $500,000 hospital at Pacific Home will be dedicated by Governor Earl Warren and U.C.L.A.'s Provost Clarence Dykstra. Built by the contributions of the wealthy residents of Pacific Home and Claremont Manor, Pacific Home Memorial Hospital will be complete with laboratory, X-ray machines and the latest in surgical gadgets...
...suspected, Herald-American Photographer Joe Migon had pulled back the lining of his shoe, chiseled a hole in the heel big enough to hold a tiny (3 by 1 by ¾ in.) Minox camera, then concealed it with the lining. Migon had thus carried the camera undetected past the X-ray eyes of the Cook County jail "inspecto-scope," which had looked no farther down than his ankles. Once seated at the execution, Cameraman Migon slipped off his shoe, fished out the camera and made his shot while the eyes of other witnesses were fixed on the dreadful scene...
None of the witnesses, said he, could have taken a picture. They had been gone over by the jail's $7,000 "inspectoscope," and with its X-ray beam it would have either detected the hidden camera or, at least, fogged its film. (City Room gossip was that Photographer Joe Migon had sneaked a tiny camera in his shoe past the machine.) Fordney charged that the man had been painted in the chair and pointed out "discrepancies" between the actual execution and the picture. Where there had been a dark electrode on Morelli's right leg, the heavily...
...injury is to the growth of the feet, warns Dr. Louis H. Hempelmann in a companion article. A growing section of bone (the epiphysis) is much more easily damaged by X rays than adult bone. X rays are deliberately used to stunt the growth of one leg in a child whose other leg has been shortened by disease. Hempelmann suspects that such stunting might result from the use of X-ray shoe fitters, and go undetected for years...
