The campaign of propaganda concerning the need of tuberculosis work has aroused the interest of people of all classes. The funds to support the nurse are evidence of this. But the people who pay the bills are not those who can produce the patients. To get in touch with the patients, it is necessary to approach people of another class, those whose work brings them in contact with the very poor. For, as a rule, in beginning tuberculosis work, it is only patients of the poorest class who find their way to the nurse’s visiting list. Later, as the work becomes more firmly established, and better known and understood, her visiting list will include not only the poor, but those in well-to-do and comfortable circumstances. The Board of Managers of the new association may interest themselves in finding the patients, but in the end it is the nurse herself upon whom this responsibility rests. Upon her initiative and ability depends the success of the work. Her first step, therefore, should be to call upon all those who can in any way be of service, and who can direct her to the patients she is anxious to reach. She should call upon the physicians of the community, the dispensaries and hospitals (if there are any), social workers, such as the agents of charitable associations; priests, clergymen, and all those who come into contact with the suffering and the destitute. Her visits should be made in person, since a personal interview makes a stronger appeal to the memory of the busy man than the most convincing letter or the most eloquent report. This involves one great reason why the nurse should be thoroughly equipped in character and training; the colourless, uneducated, unconvincing woman carries with her no conviction, and inspires no confidence either in herself, or in what she proposes to do. A physician may well hesitate about turning over his patients to a woman who is unable to put her case before him. It may be that considerable time will thus have to be spent in calling upon all those likely to know of tuberculous patients, and therefore able to furnish the nurse with the necessary names and addresses. That the response is not great should cause no discouragement. As we have said elsewhere, the tuberculosis death-rate, multiplied by five, will give a conservative estimate of the number of tuberculous individuals in a community. It is the nurse’s duty to unearth them. They exist—she must find them, and the greater the obstacles, the greater the incentive to overcome them. The total result of a two or three weeks’ campaign may be a mere handful of cases reluctantly handed over by a few physicians, and a few undiagnosed suspects, reported by an earnest priest. In this way the visiting list is begun.
