Very truly yours, 0016592 C0pY Janary 1,195 b Dr.H.H.Dorr, Chief Medical Examiner, industrial Commission oi Ohio, Coiumous ,Ohxo. Dear Dr.Dorr; Dr.Haynurst suggested that Dr.Kehoe of the Koettenng Laboratory be given an opportunity to study the above mentioned case. On account of the fact that this case has been very slow in recovery , ana on account of the fact that there have been some, unexpiamaoie clinical findings present in this case, at the suggestion of Dr.Kehoe.this patient 'has been sent to tne Good Samaritan Hospital for further study. Vhetner or not this step requires authorization from the industrial Commission,! am not certain. However,if authorisation is required ior hospitalization and further study,I hereby make application. In view of the time,effort and coopera tion of the personnel of the Koettenng Laboratory, I suggest some form of remuhera.tion from: the Indus trial Commission,for their. Services. However.Dr.Kehoe, director of tne Koettenng Lacoratory,toid rae that he was particularly interested in this case from the research standpoint and that if a fee were to be offered for any part of his services,it. would be turned over to the general fund of the Koettenng Laboratory.- is suffering from an encephaiopatnyanc^Tn^cnxei question is to determine wnetner tnere is some other factor for all or part of his condition. I wisn to call to your attention,the fact tnat this man has hot received any compensation. Having been away from work since October 21,1935>it is evident tnat he, is in need of compensation. Dr.Hayhurst has accepted tnis case as an Industrial Disease witn tne diagnosis of Lead Poisoning. Very truly yours, Urn.C.Compton,M.D. 0016503 N19377.01 THOS. M. GREGORY CHAIRMAN I. W. BEALL W. M.

ROSE ASST. SUPT. Dr. 7,riri. C. Compton, Jmerican. Bldg,, Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Dr. Compton.; Dais is to acknowledge receipt of your letter of Janu ary 7 regarding this claim, lie wish to thank you for the informa tion. given and to advise that the claim has not as pet been ac cepted as compensable by the Commission. '.Ve are always glad to have Dr. Kehoe's opinion regard ing our cases of lead poisoning and suggest that you have him write us, giving his opinion of this case. The amount of expo sure and the circumstances under which this claimant contracted lead poisoning make it rather unusual. In regard to the payment of charges for hospital care and a fee for 'Or. Kehoe, it is probable that if the claim is ac cepted by the Commission the hospital bill will be paid in accord ance rath our usual rates and Dr. Kehoe will be entitled to a con sultation. fee. The sooner we receive a report from Dr. Kehoe showing whether or not this is an industrial lead poisoning, the earlier the claim will be presented to the Commission for consider ation. Very truly yours. RE 0016594 N19377.02
