2 Q All right. Well, let's go back to September
3 1981, and I believe two months before he died.
4 Did you review this record with the

6 Am I correct it says abdomen grossly
7 distended? Is that what that says?
8 A This is registered nurse's note on 9-7-81.
9 It says abdomen grossly distended, but does not
10 complain of pain.
11 Q All right. So this note indicates his
12 stomach was large, wasn't it?
13 A That is true.
14 Q That is probably because of the ascites?
15 A Correct.
16 Q Nonetheless, it was not causing him pain at

18 A According to her note.
19 Q Then they drained the fluid afterwards,

21 of fluid; isn't that correct?
