Mr. Ely. I would like at this point to refer you to pages 152 through 156 of this exhibit.
I shall let you proceed to explain what these mean without questioning.
Captain Donabedian. On 9-10-58, slight burning on urination. "Has urethral discharge."
Mr. Ely. Well, if you cannot read it, there is no point——
Captain Donabedian. Then they took a smear.
Mr. Ely. What is the purpose of a smear?
Captain Donabedian. A smear is to diagnose the cause of the infection, the cause of the discharge, to see what type of bacteria was present.
And on 9-23-58, report of a urethral discharge sensitivity test. A culture was taken and reported staphylococcal hemolytic. And the sensitivity test to determine what drug we have that will affect that particular bacteria that is causing this. And erythromycin was the drug of choice.
On page 154, on 16 September 58 he evidently went to one of the outlying dispensaries, and they said "Send to the mainside for smear," which means he was sent to the mainside dispensary to get the smear taken.
September 1958, the complaint was urethral discharge. They sent him to the lab for a smear.
