New Policy of Dealing with Disabled Soldiers 



By Douglas C. McMurtrie, Director Red Cross Institute for Crippled and Disabled Men, 

 23rd Street and Fourth Avenue, New York City 



IN the past, our method of dealing 

 with the men permanently disabled 

 in the course of employment has been 

 to pay the worker a pension in the 

 form of compensation, and forget him 

 and his injury. But the cost of dis- 

 ability to the fruit industry has not 

 been alone in premiums paid for 

 casualty insurance. There has been 

 the cost involved in training experience, 

 and the adaptation of a skilled worker 

 who does not return to his job, and the 

 fitting of a newcomer to take his place. 

 There are three means of reducing 

 and approaching the complete elimina- 

 tion of the cost of disability: first, acci- 



dent prevention; second, thorough med- 

 ical attention to minimize the dis- 

 ability resulting from the injury, and, 

 third, salvage of the remaining abilities 

 of the worker through the rehabilita- 

 tion for self-support. The first of these 

 has already received wide attention 

 from employers and has wisely been 

 encouraged in a financial way by 

 casualty insurance companies and state 

 funds. The values of the two latter 

 have, however, not as yet been appre- 

 ciated. Their energetic application 

 would effect a tremendous saving to 

 industry. 



Many injuries from which men would 



completely recover in a short time 

 under adequale and high-grade medical 

 attention ore treated for an insutficient 

 time, or by incompetent physicians and, 

 instead of a prompt return to work, the 

 case at best drags along over an ex- 

 tended period and at worst becomes 

 chronic or develops into permanent 

 disability. Some states require the in- 

 surance carrier to provide but two 

 weeks of comi)ulsory free medical 

 attention to the injured man. For the 

 insurance company to take advantage 

 of this limitation is the most short- 

 sighted policy possible, because for 

 every dollar saved in physicians' or 

 hospital fees, the insurance carrier pays 

 out later ten dollars in compensation. 

 And what the insurance company pays 

 is actually paid by the insuring em- 

 ployers in their regular premiums. 



Unlimited medical attention of the 

 highest grade should be an axiom of 

 casualty practice. It should be insisted 

 upon by employer and workman alike. 

 The best outcome of any injury is to 

 have the employe return to his job as a 

 well man in the shortest possible time. 

 It is well to develop a science of deal- 

 ing with cripples, but the ideal is to 

 have fewer and fewer cripples with 

 which to deal. 



The third method of attack on the 

 cost of disability is rehabilitation for 

 self-support — the re-education of an in- 

 jured man for an occupation which he 

 can follow, or a process which he can 

 perform, in spite of his handicap. The 

 science of rehabilitation is new, and the 

 experience in it has practically all been 

 gained in the effort to make sound and 

 just provision for the disabled soldier 

 or sailor. Every country among the re- 

 cent belligerents is today operating a 

 comprehensive system of re-education 

 for disabled soldiers, and is placing 

 upon that system more dependence than 

 upon the pension system. 



Paying a man a small monthly or 

 weekly stipend on which he is expected 

 to live in idleness is not a very con- 

 structive method. With the breakdown 

 of confidence in the pension system, it 

 was realized that the only real com- 

 pensation for disablement was restora- 

 tion of capacity for self-support. It 

 was further realized that very few jobs 

 require all the physical faculties and 

 that in the present-day variety of in- 

 dustrial processes, it is possible to find 

 a job in which a man with a given type 

 of disability can function 100 per cent 

 efficient. Some jobs are standing, some 

 seated, others require walking about, 

 some jobs at a bench working on small 

 articles require but little strength, 

 others involve great physical exertion. 

 Still others do not require the sense of 

 hearing, in others the sense of sight is 

 not essential. Finding the future work 

 of the disabled man, therefore, requires 

 expert and painstaking choice, but a 

 successful selection is possible even for 

 the seriously handicapped. The first 

 aim is to place the man back in a differ- 

 ent job in his own trade or in a trade 

 closely related. In such a job his past 

 experience will stand hira in good stead. 

 Failing this, he can be retrained for a 

 different line.
