Mr. Ely. And what was the overall diagnosis?
Captain Donabedian. Hemorrhoids was the diagnosis.
Mr. Ely. And what did you say the treatment was?
Captain Donabedian. The treatment was mineral oil, rectal suppository.
Mr. Ely. All right. I would like to show you now an entry which is on page 40, but which is chronologically later than the one to which we just referred, and that is the entry dated——
Captain Donabedian. 10-6-57. "Urethritis acute. Nonvenereal."
Mr. Ely. Before we get into that, could we discuss the entry of 10-10-58?
Captain Donabedian. "Sigmoidoscopy." I don't know what this number is, unless the number of the procedure. They discharged this man on 10-13-58.
Mr. Ely. Do you believe that relates to the hemorrhoids?
Captain Donabedian. He may have had some trouble with the lower bowel, or possibly some more bleeding, and they looked inside the rectum and the sigmoid to determine if there was any cause of the bleeding.
