Medical Arrangements

A side note from Frank's journal.

Medical Arrangements (Frank took this from Part I Order No 21 dated 30 September 1939)

Despite the warning of the Medical Officer several men have already developed VD. This is looked upon as a serious offense, and quite apart from the fact, it is an incurable disease. The Medical Officers Room (136) will be kept open at all times until further notice, and any man who is foolhardy as to expose himself to the possibility of contacting this disease should report as soon as possible after exposure and he will receive treatment, which will to some extent be kept strictly confidential- no report made and no record kept-and the men are urged in their own interests to avail themselves of this prophylactic service. The supplying of this service should in no way be looked upon as countenancing immorality.
