Once at Ellis Island, medical examinations were the first step in the acceptance process. Physicians would examine the eyes of the immigrants to check for cataracts, trachoma or conjunctivitis. These vision disorders would result in dismissal back to one’s country. Other physicians would look for mental handicaps, insanity, physical deformities, and other medical conditions. An immigrant faced detention for further examination if the initial check indicated a possible mental or physical condition. (“Ellis”).

Doctors made decisions about individuals within two or three minutes. If a doctor suspected a possible condition, the doctor would mark the immigrant’s shoulder with a chalk letter. 2% of immigrants were rejected and sent back to their native country (“Ellis”). People bearing the chalk marks had to wait further examination. “Entire families were held up for hours, sometimes days, when one member underwent this additional scrutiny, causing tremendous anguish and frustration” (Benton 97).
