The first contract laborers arrived from China in 1852, but little attention was paid to their medical needs. In 1886 a physician from Japan arrived to minister to the health and medical needs of the Japanese immigrants. After 1900 most physicians caring for immigrant plantation workers were Western trained from the Mainland. Many advances in medicine were started on plantations such as the second x-ray machine in Hawaii. The 1950s brought rapid changes in plantation medicine with the closing of plantation facilities on Oahu. The author describes her personal experience as a patient in the plantation medical system.
首批合同劳工于1852年从中国抵达，但他们的医疗需求很少受到关注。1886年，一位来自日本的医生抵达，为日本移民的健康和医疗需求提供服务。1900年以后，大多数照顾移民种植园工人的医生都是从美国本土接受西方培训的。种植园开启了医学领域的许多进步，比如夏威夷的第二台X光机。20世纪50年代，随着瓦胡岛种植园设施的关闭，种植园医学发生了迅速变化。作者描述了她作为种植园医疗系统中一名患者的个人经历。
