Rule Prevents Admission of Woman to Tuberculosis Hospital
A Tuberculosis Case in Atlanta reveals a rule barring nonresidents of two years from hospital admission. An ill woman at 104 Powers Street cannot be admitted despite attempts by Associated Charities and local ladies. Her husband Giovanni Scardina and brother-in-law Bo pino Castagna are said to earn about $25 weekly and will care for the six children at home, while the Home for the Friendless takes custody of the kids. Doctors argue admitting her would flood the hospital with nonresidents seeking care, potentially overcrowding beds and denying those entitled to admission. The case remains unresolved as officials weigh the rules against compassionate exceptions.
