Dear Dr. Kehoe; 1 am enclosing a lexter I received from tne Commission,togetner wixn a copy of tne l e t t e ^ ^ r o t e to them enclosed letxe^P^HP^Hfl^ixplanatory. Very truly yours, WCC kp HE 0016592 C0 P Y Jauary 7,1955 D r .H.H.Dorr, Chief Medical Examiner, industrial Commission of Ohio, Coiumous ,Ohio. Dear Dr.Dorr; - Dr.Haynurst suggested that Dr.Kehoe of the K o e t t e r m g 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, unexplainable 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. . fhetner or not this step requires autnorization from the industrial Commission,! am not certain. However,if authorisation is required ior hospitalisation and further study,! hereby make application. . In view of the time,effort and coopera tion of the personnel of the K o e t t e r m g Laboratory, ' I suggest some form of remuneration from;: the Indus trial Commission,for their, services. However.Dr.Kehoe, director of the K o e t t e r m g Laboratory,told, me 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 K o e t t e r m g Laboratory.- v J H i l H H I H v is suffering from an encephalopatnyanaiThecnier 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 that this man has hot received any compensation. Having been away from work since October 21,1 9 ^ , it is evident tnat h e fis in need of compensation. Dr.Hayhurst has accepted this case as an Industrial Disease witn tne diagnosis of Lead Poisoning. Very truly yours, 'm..C .Compto n ,m .D . HE 0016503 . : :T ; , jf \ { i ' TH OS. M.

KEARN S SUPERINTENDENT A. L. ROSE ASST. SUPT. Dr. '[eu C. Compton, ..'imeri can Bldg., Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Dr, Compton: Dais is to acknowledge receipt of your letter of Janu ary 7 regarding this claim. he wish to ~hanK you for the informa tion given and to advise that the claim has not as yet been ac cepted as compensable by the Commission. l.'e are always glad to have Dr. liehoe*s opinion regard ing our cases of lead poisoning and suggest that you have him -;;rite us, giving his opinion of this case. The amount of expo sure and the circumstances under which this claimant contracted lead poisoning make i t .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 with 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, '.KD :Jp KE 0016594
