Have you anything you can offer me that will help me convince my doctors 1i that they should help me rather than keep treating me at one time for grippe now bad fibrosed lungs and a bad heart?
Does lead affect the, muscle's to the extent one becomes fatigued rapidly and
cannot use his hands and body,this is my case. My wrists are very weak
and this after seven years after exposure,
)
I was exposed to these fumes in confined areas aboard Navy ships which are
far different from the type of merchant ship built during the war. Here
on war ships are many decks closed off from atmosphere and the fumes collect
more rapidly and hang dead due to lack of air f l o w . ^
_
Any information you may have will help me in my research .Another thing I finds is a startling lack of physicians schooled in industrial medicine. I find many in the art of industrial prevention but to damned few in the cure after the prevention failed. Do you teach Industrial medicine as a full course , in your college?
Sincerely,
Charles W. ancock
