Two unidentified nurses adjust the x-ray equipment at Tacoma General Hospital in April of 1939 as a patient waits lying on a table, covered chin down with a white sheet. Although by 1939 it was well known that lead was effective for protecting against x-ray exposure, neither the patient in this photo or the nurses appear to be wearing any protective lead or lead-equivalency shielding. Established in 1882 as the Fannie C. Paddock Hospital, the facility became the Tacoma General Hospital in 1912. Ordered by Clarence J. Cummings, Superintendent. See also A8155 image 3
