I ames n. Drothers, M.D. 128 Brosd Street Newark, N.J. Collins & Corbin. DEFENDANT U. S. Racium Corpération. INJURED Mrs. Hosre. EXAMINATION At your request I examined Mrs. Hoare at the College 01 Phyaicians and Surgeoms, New York City, June 17, 1930, between 10:00 A.l. and 13:50 P.M., the actual examination Laking about one hour. I an not going into the history of the case, as that a ill be forvarded later shen the stenogrspher who was sith me finisheside notes. This womanis pulse was 96 end about every half minute she has en extra cyatole which is evidence of an irritable heart. the is 5¹ 5-1/2" and at this time weighs 101 lbs. in her underclothing. She has no ascondary anemia as far a I can judge by hermucous m embranes, the lawyer who was with her not permitting any blood to be taken, and not permitting any x-raye, urine or stool exemination. Her right em which she complains was found negative byde, notion being normal, no sign from physical exemination of bone, moscle or nerve injury. Both lege which she complains of as being painful from the knees down were found negative for bone, quscle or nerve involvement. Her reflexes are normal, tactile sensetion normal. Her back S hows a scoliosis in the upper dorsal and also a kyphosis in the dorsal region. This, in my opinion, is not due to ay bone involvement, but to the fact that this woman has best in an o ocupation where she bent forward, also to the fact that she is slight In 3 tature.and has been carrying the ehildren that ahe has given birth to. This may also account for the latteral inclination ofthe spinal column. On vaginal examination I find she has a torn porineum and a torn cervix with a great amount of cervie dischargewhichis whitish-gellow in color. The fundus of the uterus is retroverted and partially fixed. This, in my opinion, accounts for thepainshe complains of low down in her back. She has a midline soar in the & bdomen which she claims she was made when her appendix was removed. This is about 5" in length and spread to 1/2". on palpation of the abdomen, I laan feel what is apparently matted up omentum, which is either the result from adhesions or her operation orndrelikely the in- flammation which preceded hor operation or as an outside diagnosis, tubercular involvement of the abdominal cavity and its contents. There was no free fluid in the abdoménathe kidneys, liver and splen were apparently normal, no tender points. She, however, resisted at timea when the examination was mage and r efused have her rectal examination done. Her chest did not present any signad tuberculos her clavicles were not tender. She tends tohold the right shoulder higher than the left. Her right lower jaw now has the latteral incision, socalled stomach tooth and one biouspid. The left lower
