In Mason, the taxpayer suffered a severe attack of paralytic poliomyelitis. The cost of installation of a specially designed swimming pool, installed on the advice of a physician to provide hydrotherapeutic treatment for the taxpayer was found by jury to constitute a deductible medical expense and not a nondeductible capital expenditure. The swimming pool in Mason covered an area of thirty by fifteen feet, had a depth of four to six feet, and included a ramp designed to facilitate entry by wheel chair.

Snellings, (DC VA, 1956), 56-2 USTC ¶10,048, 149 FSupp 825, A taxpayer’s wife was suffering from osteo-arthritis disease. He installed an invalid elevator when it was impossible for his wife to transverse the stairway in the home. The doctor didn’t advise him to acquire an elevator but described the taxpayer’s difficulties of traversing the stairs which would bring about incidents of pain. It was causing her to become incapacitated for several days. The U.S. District Court allowed the deduction of the invalid elevator under Section 213. The court compared the case with Hayne’s case and Hollander’s case. As per court, the elevator’s primary function was for the prevention or mitigation of the osteo-arthritis disease instead of solving transportation problem such as Hayne’s case. It is not necessary to have a medical advice for the proper medical deduction. It clearly states the fact that if an elevator is not benefiting or improving the condition of the taxpayer then cost of an elevator is not a medical

Thus, a capital expenditure which is related only to the sick person and is not related to permanent improvement or betterment of property, if it otherwise qualifies as an expenditure for medical care, shall be deductible; for example, an expenditure for eye glasses, a seeing eye dog, artificial teeth and limbs, a wheel chair, crutches, an inclinator or an air conditioner which is detachable from the property and purchased only for the use of a sick person, etc. Moreover, a capital expenditure for permanent improvement of property may qualify as a medical expense to the extent that the expenditure exceeds the increase in the value of the related property, if the particular expenditure is related directly to medical care. Such a situation could arise, for example, where a taxpayer is advised by a physician to install an elevator in his residence so that the taxpayer's wife who is afflicted with heart disease will not be required to climb stairs. If the cost of installing the elevator is $1,000 and the increase in the value of the residence is determined to be only $700, the difference of $300, which is the amount in excess of the value enhancement, is deductible as a medical expense. If, however, by reason of this expenditure, it is determined that the value of the residence has

displayed signs of a suspected left hip fracture. Clinical indications would most likely show that the leg is held in external rotation and abduction, and appeared shortened when the patient lay in the supine position (LeBlanc et al., 2014).

There was something strange that strongly stood out when Jeannie Peeper was born in 1958: her big toes were short and crooked. Two months after her birth, a round swelling surfaced on the back of the her head. Her parents didn’t know the cause of it, and after a few days, it disappeared. Then, the Peeper’s mother noticed that she couldn’t open her mouth as wide as her siblings. After taking her to many different doctors, Mayo Clinic discovered that she had a rare disorder. This diagnosis meant that over her lifetime, she would develop a second skeleton, and she would begin to grow new bones that would stretch across her body and some that would fuse to her original skeleton, causing her locked into immobility, within a few years. The Mayo doctors told Peeper’s parents that she would not live long. As she grew older, she realized that she could no longer fit her left hand through her sleeve, because it was locked in a backwards position due to a new bone that generated on her arm. Peeper was taken to the doctors to take a muscle biopsy from her left forearm and had to wear a cast for 6 weeks. Except, it made it worse, because the biopsy and the cast caused her elbow to grow a new bone that frozen the joint, making her unable to move it. Over the decade, as she grew more bones that stretched across her back, locked her right elbow, and froze her left hip, she became accustomed to the pain. Fortunately, she is still alive today with the disorder.
