Mr. Ely. Would it be fair to say, Doctor, summarizing your testimony as to these few pages, that this looks, as far as we can tell, like a typical case of gonorrhea?


Captain Donabedian. Yes; it does.

Mr. Ely. Nothing extraordinary about it? But it certainly does seem that he did have gonorrhea at this point?

Captain Donabedian. Right.

Mr. Ely. These medical records also contain entries relating to the gunshot wound received by Oswald in connection with the .22-caliber pistol he had stored in his footlocker. I believe those entries are self-explanatory. Also, in filling out his own forms on physicals, Oswald made reference to a mastoid operation which he had had when he was a child. This, also, I think, is something we don't have to go into at this point.

Doctor, I will ask you, in conclusion, if you, in looking through his medical records, have noticed anything which we have not mentioned which seems to you extraordinary—anything over and above the normal marine's complaints.

Captain Donabedian. No; not offhand. He had a sore throat, which many boys have in the service. He had a cold. And he had one other infection, otitis media, in 1957.

Mr. Ely. That reference appears at page 150.

Captain Donabedian. And they give him penicillin, 600,000 units, 5 days.
