@grmpyprogrammer in 1937-1938 he was given 6 weeks of benefits, by “stamp” (timbre) rather than by price list (lista de plata), i guess that would be reimbursal of market payments?

@grmpyprogrammer 25-May-1938 DIAGNOSIS (disease of which the insured suffers) fracture of the left calf, both bones (“ambele oase”). Then handwritten notations track progress until August 14, but beyond the dates I can’t make sense of them. The next page 12 is the same table extended horizontally, we can see matching the 25-May diagnosis under “TREATMENT PRESCRIBED and number of the medical order” it says “at the hospital” (la spital), then the week May 24-31.

@grmpyprogrammer Basically, our gentle barrelmaker broke his calf May 25, 1938 and was accorded health benefits by Romania’s prewar welfare state, including a week of hospital care and 6 weeks off of work. His condition continued to be monitored through August. He came from and lived until this his 18th year in very lovely places, worked, was injured, was helped. I wonder what the next years, which were less lovely and less civilized I’m afraid, brought our young gentleman.
