Patient records, 1926-1939
Series
Approx. 8.32 m. of textual records and graphic material.
This series consists of patient records started in 1926 and not consulted after 1939. Most of the files contain heart sounds diagrams drawn by Dr. Segall, 6x12'' clinical history forms, sections of electrocardiograms attached to dated cards, as well as 4x6" normal heart sounds record forms completed by Dr. Segall that are often accompanied by sections of electrocardiogram readings. Many files also contain correspondence between Dr. Segall and other doctors, medical institutions, and health insurance companies, and occasionally correspondence between Dr. Segall and the patient and/or the patient's family.
Any files started during the 1926-1939 period that were consulted after 1939 were transferred to Series B by Dr. Segall's office. Box 64 contains summary sheets from Series H in addition to Series A.
Each file was originally stored in a 4x6" envelope. Files have been transferred to letter-sized file folders. The original envelopes have often been retained. Each box of materials in Series A contains 13 cm of textual records and graphic material; measures 27 x 40 x 14 cm
