Correspondence

Referred to in Dr. Segall's "The evolution of the record system" as "Correspondence 1932-", the series contains papers relating to groups and societies in addition to personal correspondence.

Case histories of Trans Canada Airlines and Ferry Command pilots

Series contains case histories of Trans Canada Airlines and Ferry Command pilots. As Dr. Segall explains in "The evolution of the record system" (Box 308), the TCA and ferry command patient records were segregated in order to provide a collection of normal patterns of heart sounds from which he could develop a model pattern for heart sounds. This normal model pattern was then used as the standard against which he could compare the heart sounds of other patients.

Symptoms and conditions files

This Series consists of ten drawers of a Kardex index, each of which is approximately 52 cm long. The top five drawers consist of indexed conditions, each of which is identified by a two or three character alphanumeric code (either A1 to A45, B1 to B99, or C1 to C70). Attached to each condition in the index is a list of the electrocardiogram numbers of particular patients. Dr. Segall seems to have determined that the listed electrocardiograms represent manifestations of their corresponding Kardex index condition. The individual electrocardiograms are located in Series G and are marked with their electrocardiogram numbers, the date on which they were created, as well as the names of the patients from which they were taken.

Drawers 6 through 10 of the Kardex index (Series M) contain indexed sections for 80 different cardiac symptoms. Each of the 80 symptoms are further divided into 10 (numbered 0 to 9) different sub-sections (possibly for different variations of each symptom), each of which contains a list of the electrocardiogram numbers, often, but not always, including the numbers for electrocardiograms of the patients whose files bear that particular two to three digit numerical code. The listed electrocardiograms seem to have been determined by Dr. Segall to represent manifestations of the corresponding Kardex index symptom.

Administrative files

Identified as "Office Files" in the series descriptions found in Box 308, this series consists of chequing records, cheque stubs, federal and provincial taxation records, daily record books (professional charges), donation records, bank deposit records, and account statements of Dr. Segall's practice. Box 469 also contains personal tax records circa 1982.

Medical apparatuses

This series consists primarily of various medical apparatuses, 3 voice recording machines, 4 electrocardiogram recording machines, magnetic recordings, audiograph recordings, and glass slides.

History of medicine research

This series consists of notes and collected documents related to Dr. Segall's History of medicine research. This material includes records related to his various history research projects including his N.S. Korotkov book (1980), "Pioneers of Cardiology," material concerning the Osler Library of the History of Medicine, and correspondence with other medical historians.

Personal and family records

This series contains personal and family records of various kinds. Examples include correspondence, school and university study notes, official and unofficial documents, financial records, and photographs.

Medical research records

This series consists of Dr. Segall's medical research records, lecture notes, presentations, publications, and related material. While wide-ranging, the subject matter of these various kinds of materials often intersects. For example, his research records often influenced his publications and were reflected through his lectures. This interconnectivity may explain why such different forms of records were stored together. However, there are also many examples of files and boxes within the series where there are no obvious interconnections between different records.

Office files

This series consists of alphabetically ordered office files, mostly from the 1980s. The files contain material concerning various medical and history of medicine associations. There are also a small number of files on various colleagues and patients. These files do not include patient files with case histories.

Miscellaneous patient records

This series consists of patient records which are not arranged as part of a larger set of patient files. The reason(s) why these records were separated from the patient records in series A through F, H, or L is/are not known.
