I rarely pass by a patient without asking him how he re- ceived his injury. In nearly every instence the answer is, "I don't exactly know, it all happened so fast." Our Board processes 800 accident reports per. day, and consequently we are fully aware of the suffering and cost of industrial acci- dents, We see plenty of evidence of accidents which could have been avoided, It is impre- ssive to talk with a workman learning how to hobble about on an artificial leg; or stu- dying a new skill, having now to wear an ar- tificial arm; or to feel his way around in the early stages of becoming accustomed to. total blindness, /ny activity that may re- duce the number of industrial injuries has our complete support, In spite of the exeellence of cur som- pensation legislation, I know that the best surgical skill, the best hospital attention, the best artificial appliance, and the best wage compensation, cannot even begin to re- place the loss of an eye, the loss of » hand, or the distortion of a backbone, E, &..
