Death Report
First Notice of
Diphtheria Case
"Mudcnt Who Attended Victim
Absolved of BUme by
Dean of Medical
College.
Phyllis Preston, daughter of Oscar
Preiton, 847 South Twenty-first
otrect, died yesterday of diphtheria,
at her home.
She had been under the care of
G. B. Stryker, senior at the Univer
sity of Nebraska medical college.
Health Comminioner A. S. Pinto de
clared yesterday afternoon the fate
had not been previously reported ai
diphtheria. H telephoned Ur, Irving
S. Cutter, dean of the medical col
leg', for the facta in the cae.
Dr. Cutter absolved Stryker from
all blame.
"The Preston case was one of
the out calls of the college free dis
pensary to which Stryker wis
signed," said Dr. Cutter. "He has
been' doing thia work for several
months, v4 has acquitted himself
satisfactorily in every way..
Culture Found Negative.
"He was called Saturday night to
the Preston Lome and found the girl
had been sick since Wednesday, lie
examined her throat, and found she
had what appeared to be a case of
tonsillitis, but to make sure, he took
a culture which he left at Dugan's
drug store, Seventeenth and Doug
las streets. Sunday ' morning the I
health department reported the cul
ture negative. On receiving this re
port, Stryker did not see the case
until Monday morning.
"The girl did not appear to be
improving, and he railed a hospital
staff physician. The child died
shortly after the staff physician ar
rived. Order Disregarded. '
"In addition, Stryker gave orders
that the child was to remain in bed.
While he was in the house Monday
morning, the girl came into the
kitchen and asked for something to
eat This, in itself, might have been
sufficient to cause death in a diph
theria patient.
"There is a very definite epidemic
of diphtheria in Omaha, and while
we all are in sympathy with the ef
forts of the health department to
bring it under control, it is a shame
it has not been corralled fore th"
It is also true that although the
health department was notifies of the
girl's death at 2 p. m. Monday, no
one from ,the health department vis
ited the house until 9 a. m. the fol
lowing ("ay.
' "Mr. Stryker it absolutely blame
less in every way for the girl's
death."
There is absolutely no one to
blame in this matter," Mr. Preston
tola Mr. Stryker last night. " I know
you did your best."
