Rock Springs. Wyoming, in service 1 year. was examined at my office November 11, 1931. He gave me the following history: He had an operation for appendicitis two years ago in Italy. His present complaint is continuous pain in back except when quiet. He alleges tha-t this pain is due to an accident . that he received on May 4 9 1931, while working as timberman in Rock Springs Coal Mine Noo8o He was struck ·on the shoulder by a rock from the roof. He was taken to The Wyoming General Hospital where he was treated by Dr. Arbograst for one month. Examination of chest and spine by x-ray showed the following: "Chest: Some enlargement of peri bronchial glands~ Some infiltration toward the bases more marked right side with some extending toward the apices. Apices clear. No. T.B. "Entire Spine: Cervical spinG negative. Dorsal spine lies diagonally from above downward to the left with slight curvature ·to , the right in the upper dorsal, and to the left in the middle dorsal and to the right again in the lower dorsal. Lumbar spine shows a marked curvature to the left with deformity of all the bodies. No x-ray evidence of tuberculous destruction of the vertebral bodies. Slight lipping of the lower dorsal and all the lumbar vertebra." His urinalysis was as follows: "Clear, amber, Sp. Gv. 1·) 19, aoid, no albumen, no sugar. Microscopical negative." , Examination of his blood was as follows: - ___ _, --.....;._ �"Reds 4,560 00() Whites 6,90() Hemoglobin 90% Polymorphonuclear neutrophilic 62% " eosinophilic 1% " basophilic 0% Mononuclears Large 4% Lymphocytes 33% 9 Conclusions: Mr. Angelo Grelli is suffering from a Rotatory Lateral Curvature of the spine together with an Arthritis of the Lower Dorsal and all the Lumbar Vertebraeo There was no evidence of Tuberculosis of lungs or spine. In my opinion, it is possible that an injury to his back has probably aggravated an old arthritis of his spine which predated his injury. ~JohnR.
