Description
Supplemental material reads: "From News Bureau. Pan American World Airways. Caption. An 11 year-old Chinese boy, Lye Boon Leong, is greeted by Doctor Dewane Bruseke upon arriving 2/27 at International Airport from Singapore via Pan American Clipper for treatment at White Memorial Hospital of his congenital heart ailment. Looking on is stewardess Marge Martin. -30-".; Additional supplementary material reads: "From News Bureau. Pan American World Airways. An 11 year-old Chinese boy, whose life expectancy has been shortened due to his heart ailment, tonight (2/27) arrived at Los Angeles International Airport from Singapore via Pan American Airways Clipper for treatment and possible correctional operation of his congenital heart defect at White Memorial Hospital. The youngster, Lye Boone Leong, one of 10 in the family of Lye Chee Leong, a poor peddler in Goergetown on Penang Island, at present has to take extreme precaution against over exertion since he suffers from lack of blood circulation into his lungs, and if the operation is performed it is expected he will be under hospital care for approximately one year before completely recovering. Boon Leong, who was carried into a waiting wheelchair at the airport, was in good spirits after making his first flight unaccompanied and greeted a doctor-friend in typical American fashion, 'Hi, docta, I had fine trip'. The doctor is Dewane Bruseke, a Seventh Day Adventist physician now working at Loma Linda Hospital who is greatly responsible for Boon Leong's arrival here. Doctor Bruseeke, for four and a half years until last May, was a missionary working at the Seventh Day Advenstist Hospital in Penang and the boy was brought to his attention. Between arrangements made by the doctor and some $2,000 raised by the 'Peddler's Association" in Singapore, the boy was able to come here for further treatment which only modern facilities of White Memorial can administer. -30-".
