Dear Fred: : :

: I om nd | that you were not able to locate
in a university or college, but I think - f
wise to locate yourself near the University untii you.
can have your book published, |

Regarding the injury that the Mexican boy
suffered, it is a little @ifficult for me to diagnose
& case espec when X do not have an opportunity to
seo it, And further, while you deseribed the conditions
under which the injury took place and the brace that the
chap wore, you did not describe the injury only to say
~~ had a bad injury two weeks age and is not doing
we = * .

You can see the position that I would be in
in endeavoring to try to preseribe any sort of treatment.
I believe the safest way would be to consult the physi-
cian there and follow his advice, as you protect your-
self and the boy as well as the physician under this
situation,

I am sure that you will not think that I am
trying to escape any responsibility. I do not want you -
to think I am not one hundred per cent interested.

If a physician said that a blood clot had -
formed in the leg above the knee he might have phlebitis.
Tf he did the blood clot in the femoral artery might |
mean a situation similar to what Rockne had, As you
know, we lost owe own son from phlebitis, You know,
phlebitis occurs in post-operative cases, in cases of
fever, or from trauma or a blow. If that blood dot gets
near the heart or brain that is the end of it,
