Since then it has became profressively worse and it is now to the point of where the patient is not able to work and if he does he will got in such a situation that his work would ponsibly became very dangerous to him From the standpoint not only of vertigo and dizziness and the possibility of falling and hurting himself but from the standpoint of his ultimate health which will most certainly shorten his life if he continues his present occupation I feel that this is definitely an occupational disease and should be give to his request to establish an industrially accident form with the Department of Labor and Iddustries that as such consideration connected report of This patient was first totally to work on 11/14/66 and worked return to work disabled up until from 11/1/66 through 11/13/66 He tsturned 1/6/67 at which time he was advised not to At the present time I feel that the patient is totally disabled disabled in so far as occupation is present concerned and have advised him not to return to still asbestos worker In addition at least for the present the patient is still his an * January 20 1967 Page Threa Cecil Lockwood experiencing soze dyspnea and light light headedness and I have cautioned him even about driving an automobile or putting himself anyplace where he may jeopardize himself by becoming dizzy and falling At this time we are requesting his hospitalization be allowed by the Department of Labor and Industries Very truly yours LFC Enc 1 eet David W.
