044 Beatrice Plair. 100r. 197 days.

Her case is of some interest for its well-documented

cruelties to a frightened patient, and because her family are

active in this cause. And it is interesting to me that with

only 100r, but with concomitant tumor radiation, her blood

scores suffered and took 75 days to recover.

It would, in my view, however, definitely be a problem if

it were contended that Plair died directly of radiation--we do

not have proof of that, it is highly unlikely, and it would

probably be easy for the doctors to refute such a claim. Not

sure Gwendon Plair understands this.

## A note on Donna White Cristy and on David Jungnickel, two of the

three children set to CGH from Children's Hospital.

As the only survivor, the Advisory Committee or others

many wish to speak to Cristy about consent and so on.

But as to both these children, I have the impression that

the treatment of Ewing's Sarcoma patients will be much more

easily defended than the others, and that doctors at

Children's may have had somewhat better grounds for thinking

that whole body radiation might serve a purpose for them.

(Even so, the risk was probably far too severe, and one

wonders if the Children's doctors knew what had been happening

to the other high-dose patients.)

The third Ewing's family got in touch with me this past

spring but asked me not to identify them to anyone; they

aren't ready to be part of the suit or talk to press, they

said since the child's mother is in poor mental health.

##The following additional cases should be certainly be

among those kept in mind for further study:

010 Lula Tarlton. 100r. 49 days.

022 Evelyn Jackson. 150r. 10 days. A tragic case it seems to me.

025 John Henry Wells. 150r. 34 days.
