WEST PERTH
11th July 1961
Dr. J. McNulty, Mines Medical Officer, District Hospital, KALGOORLIE. W.A.
Dear Dr. McNulty,
Thank you for the loan of your films of Mr.
and for your letter of 26th June. I myself was perfectly happy with my
clinical findings in Mr. -
about a stone of superfluous weight and a
B.F. of 160/l00 vere the only physical abnormalities I could detect.
Clinically the lungs appeared to me perfectly normal and the chest movements
fully up to normal standards, Arthur Merritt of the Perth Radiological Clinic
took a fresh series of films at varying exposures to make them comparable vith
your films, and he vas of opinion that a diagnosis of asbestosis could not be
established upon the films alone.
I would much appreciate the opportunity of a chat with you
regarding Mr.
- - case and asbestosis in general when next you are in Perth.
Perhaps you could spare a moment to let me know when your next visit is likely
to be. If fairly soon.perhaps I could hold the films until then; if however
you won't be in Perth in the .immediate future I shall return the films to
Kalgoorlie with the hope that you.will- bring' them down again when you are next
passing this way'. Please let me know also whether you would like to see Dr.
Merritt's films and his report.
With kindest regards,
I am, Yours very sincerely,
