Scope and content
Display at the 38th annual convention of the Washington State Medical Association, held August 29-31, 1927, extolling x-rays as a means of determining fractures. Signs on the wall proclaim the necessity of x-rays and the proper way to set a fracture. A woman is shown in traction in the hospital bed surrounded by a nurse and (presumably) doctors. What appears to be a portable x-ray machine lies to the right of the photograph. Over 300 physicians from across the state attended the convention. Included in the activities were exhibits of curative machinery, electrical and mechanical, presented by manufacturers and demonstrations of new equipment at local hospitals.
