Former Local Man Gels Medical Assistance
John (Jackie) Harris, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Harris for
merly of Sutton, is the first
Alaskan to receive treatment
from the revolutionary kidney
machine now in use in Seattle
and Spokane. This machine al
lows persons stricken with a
formerly fatal disease to lead
normal lives. The machine that
Jackie has access to is at *he
Sacred Heart Hospital in Spo
kane, Washington.
While thousands of persons
are dying of kidney diseases in
the country, only a few can be
accepted for treatment at the
Seattle and Spokane centers It
has been found necessary to set
up two committees to screen
and choose among the appli
cants for treatment.
One of these is a medical
committee. Because there are

the selection further
The Seattle medical commit
tee includes a bank president, a
labor leader, a minister, two
physicians, a housewife, and a
lawyer. This committee must
choose who is to live and who
is to die.
The treatment devised by
specialists at the University of
Washington School of Medicine
is experimental. It needs im
provements, which are being
developed. At present, too, the
cost is great It has been es
timated that it takes roughly
$10,000 a year to keep one pa
tient on the treatment.
The leading figures in the
research project in Seattle is
Or. Belding H. Scribner, associ
under way the past week, with
especially satisfactory results.
Men of the community who
need work are employed on
this project, which is financed
under the Rural Area Develop
ment program.

: 1 he first four patients in Dr.
I Scribner's program began
j treatment during the winter of
19H0. One died of a heart at
tack a year after the treatment
began, but the other three are
still alive, stili being treated
and leading comfortable lives.
One is working full time.
The first patient, now enter
ing his third year of treatment,
has kidneys so damaged by dis
! ease that they do not function
j at all. His case proves that the
S treatment can substitute totally
for the natural organ and do so
for many months.
The other two patients have
some residual kidney function,
but not enough to keep them
alive without artificial aid.
Credit for being the first to
ouild an artificial kidney ma
chine suitable for treating hu
man patients is given to Dr. W.
J Kolff of The Netherlands. He
built his first device during the
German occupation in World
War Ii.
Dr. Scribner said that one
crucial factor has been the de
velopment of cannulas (small
metal tubing) that can be im
planted permanently in the pa
tient. Through these, the pa
tients are "plugged in” quickly
and efficiently for each of their
twice - weekly sessions. The
tubes arc made of special sili
cone rubber. In Dr. Scribner’s
