This black and white photograph depicts a medical consultation taking place in what appears to be an examination room or trailer. A nurse, dressed in professional attire with a dark dress adorned by a flower on the lapel, is examining a young child seated beside an adult male who holds another child's hand gently, possibly providing support during this interaction.
The focus of attention seems centered around the well-being and health evaluation of the small boy wearing a sleeveless top. The nurse, kneeling for closer inspection or comfort to the child, has her hands placed on his leg while she attentively looks down at him.
In the background, another adult is partially visible behind a chair with papers pinned up against it and what seems like medical equipment such as an examination lamp attached above. This setting suggests that this scene might be part of a mobile health clinic designed to provide essential services in remote or temporary living situations, which aligns with the description provided.
The image captures a moment reflecting compassion, care, and possibly hardship faced by migrant families during their stay at Merrill FSA camp located in Klamath County, Oregon. The context hints that this was part of an ongoing effort to document rural life through photography under programs like those managed by the Farm Security Administration (FSA).
