January 28th,1929.
Dr. Joseph Steiner,
c/o Roosevelt Hospital,
9th Ave. & 59th St.,
N.Y.C.
Dear Dr. Steiners
1 an glad to advise that Dr. Humphrays of the
Orange, Orthopedic Hospital, Lineoln Ave., Orange, will be glad to
have you and Dr. Luboden arrange to look at the X-ray plates of certain
girls supposed to be suffering from "radius poisoning", at your conven-
ience. Dr. Humphreys suggests that you call his at Orange 4032, 8
day or two in advance of when you expect to & to Orange, end he will
arrenge to be there to show you the plates.
The immediate case in question is that of Mrs. lise
Cubberley Canfield. There are two other esses, lire. Nota and Mrs.
Tuck, which se would like to have year opinion regarding in case
Dr. Humphreys has their X-ray plates.
I presure that Dr. Humphreys will be very glad to
discuss his findings in this field with you quite freely, and you
should gain considerable information sa to exectly what forms the basis
of his diagnosis. Be are very saxious to have your and Dr. Imboden's
opinions relative to this work at the earliest possible date.
As discussed with you last week Dr. Husphreys unde
certain statements in his tectimony, which tie are unable to corroborate
with the facts from & scientific standpoint. In order that you any
know exactly Dr. Sumphreys position relative to this point I as taking
the liberty of quoting herewith a small part of Dr. Bunphreys testisony
taken last April:
°Q. I an trying to ask you to tell us what - to describe in plain
language to us what this shadow that you can see shows. A. The
x-ray shows a degeneration of the joint.
Q. That is the bone. A. Yes, sirs degeneration of the joint.
Q. That is necrosis. A. That is necrosis.
Q. In other words, that is rotting of the bone. A. Retting of the bone.
Q. What else does it show? A. This white shadow.
Q. Is that the white shadow? A. No.; that is a different thing.
Q. Then the white shadow is not the necrosis. 4. I would like to show
it to you.
THE COURT: I think it is clear to no.
I don't know whether it is to you.
MR. MARKLEX: I think I understand the doctor.
+
Q. In other words, you say the white shadow is the radio-activity
that you see, is it. A. Yes, sir.
Q. What is it that indicates the necrosis?
A. The degeneration of the bone.
Q. How does that demonstrate itself in the picture to your sight?
What do you see that shows it?
A. Wall, usually dark shadows.
Q. In other words, black shadows show necrosis and a white shadow
shove the radioactivity, is that it?
A. That is it.
Q. Foreign substance that you see in this picture when you see this
white shadow?
A. Well, it is my opinion it is the reflection of the redium on the
plate; it is the effect of the x-ray on that radium, on the plate,
that causes that shadow."
Our attorneys are particularly interested in your opinion of
Dr. Humphreys statement in the last sentence of the above.
I shall Leave the net/ter of arrenging & antisfactory date
with Dro. Inboden and Sunphreys with you.
I an sending Dr. Imboden a copy of this letter.
Sincerely yours,
Vice President.
