Description
"Notes on Being a Patient at Talihina" written by Dorothy Macomb Fowler in April 2010. Dorothy and her sister, Helen, were 6 and 10 years old, respectively, when they were institutionalized at the Eastern Oklahoma Tuberculosis Sanatorium in September 1939.
Her recollections of sanatorium life are extraordinary given her age at the time, as well as poignant given her family history of tuberculosis and isolation from home and family.
Transcribed notes of Dorothy's recollections and her handwritten recollections are .pdf documents.
