Description: Segment 1 This film has no formal titles or credits but appears to show 'modern' treatments available in the hospital. Intertitles explain the treatments along with footage. Firstly radiography is explained. A child (a boy of around 9 years old) has his shoulder x-rayed. Then a group of doctors and nurses put plaster on a patient's leg prior to x-raying it. Next a woman is given a barium meal and then x-rayed. The resultant x-ray is shown. Silica dust is shown in the lung of another patient together with an x-ray. A male patient is shown and the intertitles outline that cancer and lupus can be diagnosed via x-ray. The eye department is seen. A male patient who has a splinter of steel in his eye is treated with a giant powerful magnet - the patient then has his eye and head bandaged. A portable x-ray machine is shown transported to a ward. The Casualty Ward is one of the busiest a patient is shown arriving via an ambulance and then stretchered out. Other patients are treated. A doctor is shown collecting a sample of air from a patient's lung. The air is chemically analysed and this is illustrated by showing a spirograph in operation. Finally a very primitive electrocardiographic apparatus is shown in action (although it does more resemble a torture chair!). Time start: 00:00:00:00 Time end:00:11:50:00 Length: 00:11:50:00
