Health Care

The Marshall Clinic has been open since the early 1960's. The aides work from 9-4 every day. They do not work on holidays. They get $12.62 per hour or more depending on their level of training. They get paid only by the hour.

When a sick person comes to the clinic, the aides first check if he has a fever. Then they check his mouth for any white things on the tonsil or the back of the mouth. Then they take down the history of the illness. Then they send it to Bethel. The person has to wait for the test results to come back from Bethel. If they are positive the aide will give the patient a shot or medicine for the disease. Hopefully the person will get well with the medicine.

They take care of an emergency in the same way that they take care of a sick person. But they go through everything quicker. They make sure the patient can breathe or that they are not bleeding to death. The rest gets taken care of at Bethel.

The number of people the clinic has per day depends on the season. During the Flu season they get 20-30 per day. On the slow days they get about 4-10 per day.

The kind of shots they give people are: L.A., BICILLIN, PROCAINE, PENICILLIN, EPINEPHRINE, TURBUTALINE, TETANUS, AND FLU SHOTS. They get their medicine from the pharmacy at Bethel. When asked about their relationship to Bethel, they said, We are the eyes and ears of the doctors. We do the exams and report them in. We have to have a close relationship with the hospital there."

Doctors, nurses and dentists come to Marshall from Bethel on an irregular schedule. Doctors come 3 times a year; nurses, about every 3 months; and dentists come once a year.

The money to pay for the people's medical care comes from the U.S. and State Governments.
