Patient records, 1969-1973
Series
Approx. 9.84 m of textual records and graphic material.
This series consists of patient records started and/or consulted between 1969 and 1973, but not consulted after 1973. Most of the files contain heart sounds diagrams drawn by Dr. Segall, 6x12" clinical history forms, sections of electrocardiograms attached to dated cards, as well as 4x6" normal heart sounds record forms completed by Dr. Segall, which are often accompanied by sections of electrocardiogram readings. Many files also contain correspondence between Dr. Segall and other doctors, medical institutions, and health insurance companies, and occasionally correspondence between Dr. Segall and the patient and/or the patient's family.
Any files started or consulted during the 1969-1979 period, which were also consulted after 1973, were transferred to Series D by Dr. Segall's office. The remaining files are stored in thirty 12x15.5x10" archival storage boxes. The physical extent of those containing 4x6" files has been measured to reflect the actual extent of the files stored in each box, where each archival box contains four rows of files. Each row of files was originally stored separately (as is the case with Series F), and thus, their physical extent has been measured to reflect that original arrangement.
Approximately a quarter of the files have been transferred into 8x10" file folders. The rest of the files are stored in 4x6" envelopes. Each box in Series C contains 17 cm of textual records and graphic material and measures 26 x 41 x 17 cm.
