Johnson\nSubject Elsie Jessup\n3/822\nMiss Elsie Jessup returned April 3 on the\n\"Panonia\", in care of Dr. Flood, who had been also in\nRed Cross vverseas.service. Miss Jessup had been ill\nbefore starting, but arrived in very good condition\non\nthis side. She was planning to be operated on\nfor stones in the kidney, which was the diagnosis given\nby the doctors before she sailed.\nAs Miss Jessup is a graduate of the New York\nHospital, she decided to have her observations and\ntreatments there. She went to Dr. Poole, who sent her\nto the hospital for X-Rays and cystoscopic examinations.\nAfter several days of observations they decided that\nfor the present no operation was necessary, as the\ntrouble was not calculi in the kidney, but ptosis of\nthe stomach and intestines. A surgical belt from\nPomeroy's has been ordered and Miss Jessup left the\nhospital to follow directions regarding rest, exercise,\nand diet given by Dr. Poole, in conference with several\nother physicians. As she was a graduate of the New York\nHospital, her care cost her nothing.\nMiss Jessup's case was referred to the\ninsurance office as soon as she returned, and her\ninsurance has already begun to be paid. Her salary\nwas paid up to April 1, when it was stopped as her\ninsurance began then and Miss Jessup felt herself\nthat she would not be entitled to both.\nShe had been sent home on sick leave, to be\nreturned as speedily as possible. I think since her\narrival she is quite willing to accept our decision\nin the matter, only hoping very much she will be\nallowed to go back as she feels she has been so long\nin the country and is so well acquainted with its\nlanguage and habits that she could do the work better\npossibly than some one who has not seen as much service.\nw\n9\nN\n2"
