/HE NATIONAL JEWISH POST

37

Chaplain Tells About Paraplegics (Continued from preceding page) extraordinarily different from the others. I do not know much about his life before he came to the hospital. He seems to be rather uncommunicative in this respect and he very seldom attends a religious service. Although he constantly promises that he will attend the services, he has for over a year now avoided them as much as possible. He did offer to come to the Seder which I arranged at the hospital. But although he was at the door of the mess hall where we were to conduct the Seder, he had himself wheeled away because he felt he was not properly dressed. I am told by a few friends who know him rather well that he is courting a non-Jewish girl and they feel that is possibly one reason why he avoids attending services. Since I am not supposed to know this fact it is difficult for me to touch upon this subject. But I have been gradually preparing the groundwork by discussing his future, the possibility of his marriage in some time to come, and especially his building of a home for himself. He is not as alert, mentally, as the other paraplegics I know. He seeks for his companions Christian boys rather than Jewish associates. I do not know whether this represents a flight from Judaism as well as a flight from the reality of his 4 physical condition. In my contacts with him I have found that he has built a wall behind which he wants to hide himself or a vital phase of his life. The sum and substance pf the whole matter is that I find the paraplegics are in many respects like other patients at the hospital, "only more so.” But whereas the ordinary patient at the V.A. hospital feels that a cure may be found for him, the paraplegic, in most cases, is crippled and handicapped for life. The use of a leg or an arm or the nervous system cannot be restored, though they can be considerably rehabilitated. Thus, there is a greater need for giving these men more comfort and more understanding.
