C 'Il, .?IA Q
Any citizen with a diagnosed tubercular condition, mgt, regarl .es of social
origin and status,, have a periodic X-ray at the ' Dispensar-Circa of the city
sub-sector in which he lives. This X-ray is free of charge, even if the pa-
tient is a lreactional, private doctors ==to under lam', report all tuber-
cular cases- to their local Oispeneaar-Circa; failure to report brings heavy
penalties, perhaps arrest. All private doctors, and and Mate doctors acting in
private capacity, >amt?egister the personal data and address of any tuber-
cular patient. Thuso time patient gill eventually be i corned to his local Tip
Dispensal a, whether he s elf has reported the illness or not. i will be
s toed tbrough the norml mile. If he doesn at report when ordered, the
doctor of the Dis e r has the power to have the person picked up at his
hose and brought to the Dispensar under tilitis guard. He must be eiated
and have an X-ray. : file is kept on each tubercular person: personal data
as as well as clinical history. If the tubercular person is a Ftate a sloyee, ,ray
private or State- doctor t report his condition in the saw way,, to the
Dispenser anitar of his enterprise as well as to the Dispenser ;ganitar of the.
sub-sector in which-he lives. In one way or another the local T5 Dispensar
ill be notified-.
O. "A tubercular person within the 0 nt's field of labor will get the same
priorities for medical care as described above C paragraphs 6-17. If is
not within the Cover r ent 4 6 field of labor, or a pensioner or dependent thereof,
but can produce a Certificat de Paupertate from the People gay Board of his
radon, he is entitled to:
(a) FFtru rations of bread and firewood.
(b) Medical examination for all members of his family and tree obligatory
medical visits for any - regardless of social origin affected with .
(ca) A priority place among patients waiting for hospitalization if hos
pita].izaation is recommended Lsee paragraph 2991. fte hospitalization
procedure will involve the usual Foaie de Inter re fora.
(d) He is not entitled to drugs, unless issued in a hospital while he is
hospitalized.
If a tubercular patient is not within the Gover sent "e field of labor and not in
possession of a Certifieat.die Paupertate - and thus not entitled to hospitalization
he t still awe monthly (free) visits to his local 78 Dispenser-Circa. He
receives no extra rations . The doctors simply want to check his status. I do
not know whether such a person is sent to a State hospital if his condition be-
cams severe and a threat, to others
4'l. "? there have been no obligatory medical check-ups of all citizens in Bucharest.
A person not within the Government's field of labor who has a Certificate de
Paupertate can apply for a medical examination at his lo" ,1 nispenser anitar=
Circa. If there are any doubts, the person will be referred to the local TO
Dispenser. The State Doctori Pe Teren who make home visits must also report
all cases they discover. They send a file on the pYrvon to his local 14
Dispenser and request hospitalization, if the patient ha a Certific.at de
Pa+ ete and the case warrants such treatment.
