J . Reading Date 2 /29/72 roentgenogram of chest The bilateral thickened pleura, large heart and small irregular densities that obscure the vascular markings are again noted. These findings suggest the presence of a pneumoconiosis. More medical data is required in order to establish the meaning of these shadows. GEORGS W. WRIGHT, M. D.

J Reading Date 11t 23-70 Comparison of the current to that of 1968 and earlier shows further evidence of thickening of the pleura on both sides plus intrapulmonary fibrosis, on the left especially. The heart has not increased further in size. The appearance of the film series would be consistent with asbestosis. G EO RG E W. WRIGHT, M. D.

Reading Date 1 0 / 2 1 / 6 8 roentgenogram of chest / v X Direct comparison of this film to previous ones shows that the haziness at the left base extending out from the cardiac shadow is larger and more prominent. At the extreme right base is a similar shadow. The heart shadow, which in previous films is abnormaly large, is still larger now as compared to the last film in 1966. It is most likely that he has some sort of intrinsic heart disease and the lung shadows may be secondary to this. Nevertheless, the lung shadows may be caused by disease of the pleura and related to his occupation. A complete occupational history and medical information regarding his cardiac status are needed for adequate evalu ation of these films. G EORGS W. WRIGHT, M. D.

Tolin Personnel & Safety Supervisor National Gypsum Company Millington, N. J. 07946 Re: ' Film No. 27530 Taken on: 10/4/68 Dear Mr. Tolin: I am sorry to be late in answering your letter but I have been out of the country and am only now getting around to my correspondence. From the information that you have supplied to me I strongly suspect that has *mitral Stenosis and this accounts for the abnormal contour of his heart shadow. The fact that his heart shadow was getting larger is difficult to evaluate other than by a direct history and physical and knowledge of his past in greater detail than you can ob tain. This, of course, can only be done by his personal Physician or a Consultant chosen by his personal Physician. I suspect that has more of a problem with his heart than he either knows about or is willing to talk about. In all probability the abnormalities in the basal portions of his lung are related to the heart disease but the possibility that he may have inflammation and changes in the pleura of the lung which might be related to asbestos exposure should be kept in mind. I don't believe that at this point it should be pointed out to him. It is my impression that you have done as much as management needs to do since you have called to his attention the fact that he has an ab normal film. From my own past experiences I would not advise making a stronger approach to either or his Physician. With best wishes, Sincerely yours, ^ --- '' v / - ' ~ \ George W. Wright,.
