Thanks you for producing these. These are so well written, documented and narrated. Hull Hauser has past away, this is certainly a great replacement, for our generation. Certainly topics that he didn't cover and are educational to today's audiences.
Thanks for this window. In 1997 I found myself working at 1 of the 4 "major missions" on Skid Row, Los Angeles. My most important duty was ensuring all program entries and staff(about 150 total & very fluid) were screened/rescreened for TB in conjunction with LA County Health, an MD & RN, I was the liaison. TB on skid row had just come out of "epidemic" levels the last few years, any program in the area(of which there are many) took TB extremely seriously. In our case, every week M W F or Tu & Thr LA County Health came to screen and/or make appts for CXR for TB and track pts who were on TB meds for compliance, as the most common treatment took a minimum of 6 months to complete at the time. I was unaware of the 100 year history & this has been educational & interesting, thanks again.
I was just about to comment about the sanitarium in Chavez Ravine right when the episode began to speak about it! I love Los Angeles history, it's so rich. Maybe it's because California became established in a time when technology was advancing so rapidly, there was a sense that if things weren't recorded they would be lost forever. There's something precious about the memories people tie to Los Angeles. As a young Angeleno, my parents were always shwoing me episodes of California's Gold with Huell Howser and taking me to all the great museums and cultural centers around LA.
An excellent program. However, it perpetuates the confusion of sanitarium and sanatorium. TB patients were the pariahs among people with infectious diseases. The American and Canadian TB associations coined the word sanatorium to identify TB hospitals as being different from sanitariums that catered to people with other infectious diseases or those that were health spas. Dr. Wilmer wrote Huber the Tuber after his stay at Glen Lake Sanatorium in Minnesota. Glen Lake, like Olive View, had its extensive records and photos rescued by an historical society.
This is interesting to see. In the Imperial Valley there is an old sanitarium about 5 miles or so east of Holtville. It was for TB. I don't know if it's still there, this was 50 years ago, and it was abandoned and dilapitating then. It had warning signs all around it stating what it was and to stay away. Yet numerous times driving by in my work, I would see people, curious I guess, walking through the remains. LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹

My uncle Fernando was stuffed into one of these places as a boy.
He said it was horrific because he had to share quarters with the mentally ill.
of course there are many more important things to say but what also must be said is that those red glasses are a slay
