Racine Journal Times Sunday Bulletin (Newspaper) - August 01, 1971, Racine, Wisconsin Sunday August i 1971 Kacin sunday bulletin is &4 my v a amp � i i life up Only cold More common than venereal disease a journal time photo or Char b a Stone editor to note this is the first of a four part series on venereal disease in Racine. The series will describe Racine to two cd clinics a at St. Luke to and St. Mary to hospitals a and the cause contagious Ness and cure of cd. The series grew out of an interview with or. Gabriel Ferrazzano City health officer. By Jeanne Chalekian journal times staff venereal disease is the most prevalent communicable illness in the nation. Only the common cold is More prevalent said or. Gabriel Ferrazzano City health officer of Racine. During the past five years the National cd estimate has doubled and it has become the most acute Public health problem. It May afflict perhaps one american in every too. A sexual Freedom is part of the new attitude that everybody can do As he pleases. With these new freedoms the psychological and social changes toward More Liberal relationships cause a breakdown in the Walls and standards that Cross All past barriers a explained Ferrazzano. Responding to Racine to needs for treatment of venereal diseases syphilis and gonorrhoea a Ferrazzano worked with St. Luke to and St. Mary to hospitals the Racine county medical society and the Wisconsin department of health to organize cd clinics at each Hospital to treat persons who suspect that they have cd. The clinic is now six months . Analysing its effect Ferrazzano said the Racine set up is unique because the clinic is established in private hospitals and because confidential treatment is offered to All persons. Compared to other cities Ferrazzano said Racine gets More partners or couples to come for treatment than most clinics. More patients cooperate in tracing partners because their confidences Are Well protected he explained. A Othis has aided the clinic to growth and ?� also Racine to clinics Are in hospitals a instead of in the regular health department Public clinics which have a certain stigma. Usually if you tre going to the health department on certain Days others know you tre going to the cd clinic. But people Are always going to the hospitals at All times for various reasons a he said. A othe clinic started slowly at first but we now see an average of 20 persons a week to at each Hospital. Not All Are positive cd cases a he emphasized a and nobody is turned ?� he said there Are a lot of whimsical ideas about cd. People having vague symptoms come to the clinic for examinations. Teenagers especially Are uninformed and think they have cd he said when All they have May be acne or a rash on their backs. Many have not had sexual relations with another person yet they think with these vague symptoms they have cd. A othe clinic also is serving them by putting their minds at ease a he added. A othere is a lot of talk about the subject but there is a need for More education a he stressed. More information is needed to describe the cause of the disease How it is spread and its cure. The Ages of Racine clinic patients has ranged from an 11-year- girl getting treatment for gonorrhoea to a 73-year- woman who thought she had syphilis. A owe examined the woman and assured her that she was All right a he said. A othe majority of positive cd cases Are 19-to 24-year- men. Girls we treat tend to be younger. And we see More men because they Are in immediate pain and need ?� persons under 21 Are considered minors. At the Racine clinic minors May be treated without parental consent by getting a court order from the juvenile court. Yet they May never see a judge. A youth asking for treatment signs a form which is then signed by Ferrazzano at the clinic and also signed by judge John Ahlgrimm of juvenile court. A othe court orders me in the Best interest of the minor to treat minors in any Hospital in the county of Racine. The court order also clears the Hospital a he explained. Ferrazzano was careful not to measure any increases in the rate of cd in the City. He said there was no Way of documenting figures. A oin the past Only i of 20 cases were reported. On the average eight cases of gonorrhoea were reported per month in Racine but two a Day was More like ?� he explained that for Many years a single Racine physician treated about 50 per cent of the cd cases Here. After he stopped practising these persons were a Oon the local Market going to other doctors Many of whom did not want to treat them according to Ferrazzano. A othe medical society came to me and we decided we to have to do something. The City did no to have the Money to expand its health programs. Then i contacted the state division of health to find out what they could do. They did no to have any funds for staffing but they would provide penicillin. A Othen we went to Karl York and sister Lillian St. Luke to and St. Mary to administrators because we needed space equipment some nursing assistance and Laboratory work. They agreed to take this on As a Community project a Ferrazzano said. A oat that time we said those who were Able to pay would be charged and those unable to pay would be treated free. At the same time we realized we could not do this accounting through the regular channels of bookkeeping because we would then lose the confidentiality of the patient. We decided then that we would charge a Flat $15, which would be collected on the spot. A othe question of treating minors came up. I consulted judge Ahlgrimm and presented him the problem. The judge saw the problem and was ready to help us Deal with ?� Ferrazzano averages a total of about 44 to 5 hours a week at the two Hospital clinics which begins at to am.
