RE: Reassessment of Appointment 1PM 5/13/97: Medical Record Number: 328587

Dear Dr. Harris:

I can't thank you enough for your work and consultation on 5/8/97 to:

1. Biopsy place on my neck to see if it is "Melanomia" and needs surgical removal or simply mole to be ignored. The Silver Nitrate Dr. Harris placed in biopsy hole got infected and it has almost cleared up.

2. Testing for possible Viral Hepatitis C to see if I can clear a blood test and if so get the public health clearance completed so I can work as dishwasher in kitchen.

3. Recommendation Defer Surgery:

Dr. Jenelli at Roseburg, OR and Dr. Vivian at Tucson had failed surgical attempts to lance spilt vein in groin and you seem to concur with Surgeon at San Marcos, TX (10-1995):

(a). Vein is in bad location, will be hard to heal, and

very prone to infection.

(b). Surgery will leave large hole and might keep me off

my feet for quite a while.

I can't raise the money to get past registration for our appointment on 5/13/97 and am not real sure if you operate on this late if I can get housing for another 7 days. I have a nearby city where I can go and if you recommend surgery should be able to stay long enough to healup and avoid infection. On arriving in this city I will contact a Dr. and ask him to call you to get your final recommendations and lab findings and the resources to make any actions workable. Thanks again for your prompt and expert assistance. I hope to arrive at the nearby city and have someone contact your office to follow up on your findings and recommendations.

With Best Wishes

Chris Walters
