Lieutenant Commander Sue Dauser
Superintendent Navy Nurse/Corps
Surgeon General of the Navy
Washington, D. C.
Dear Miss Dauser:
I am enclosing herewith the 761 cards for Miss Audrey
Marie Tate, Those mother has called this office indicating that
Misa Tate is very anxious to be grented the privilege of submitting
to a physical examination to determine her physical qualifications
for service with the Navy Nurse Corps.
Miss Tate was previously disqualified for service with
the Army because an X-ray showed a pre-spondylolisthesis, with ab-
sence of bony fusion of pedicle of 5th lumbar vertebra. She VES
subsequently re-checked by other physicians at the Walter Reed General
Hospital who could find nothing wrong.. Apparently the Medical
Board did not wish to review her case in the light of the findings
of these other officers at Walter Reed.
As the young woman is extremely anxious to get into ser-
vice and as you have indicated that it was possible to arrange for
a physical examination for any nurse who desired service, we have
consented to refer her cards to you for your consideration. We had
previously transferred her to the Second Reserve because it seemed
that, in all probability, she would not qualify for service with the
Navy if not found accepible to the Army. We are leaving her in
this classification, therefore, until we hear definitely from you
in regard to her acceptance or rejection.
Sincerely yours,
GSB:mab
