Apparently this man has lived alone in a one-roomed apartment in Vinita, Ok lahoma, became inebriated and walked into a switch engine and received the above mentioned co ntusions and abrasions and was brought here by ambulance from Vinita hospital. His EKG showe d wave changes compatible with pulmonary emphysema. X - ray of his chest showed the presenc e of calcific plaque in the aortic knob; lung fields were clear. X - ray of his right should er, skull and facial bones revealed on evidence of fracture. No showed some secondary anemi a in his hemogram, which revealed 3.9 RBC with 35% hematocrit a 11.5 grams hemoglobin. He ha d a BUN of 15 and his urinalysis could be considered negative. His chief medication while he re consisted of Tetracycline, 250 mg. Four times daily; Cortisporin Ointment to the scalp tw ice daily after shampoo with Phisohex twice weekly. At present time, the patient seems ver y cooperative. He still is totally deaf.

Department of Public Welfare, State of Oklahoma, P.O. Box 267, Vinita, Oklahoma, January 17 , 1967. Mrs. Helen Lee Foster, Social Services, Veterans Hospital, Muskogee, Oklahoma, Re: Ma rtin, Carl E., Age, 78 years. Dear. Mrs. Foster: This is a follow-up of our telephone convers ation of today regarding Mr. Carl E. Martin. The limited information was obtained throug h a telephone conversation with Mrs. L.J. Roberts, landlord of your patient. Mr. Martin ha s been renting a furnished apartment from Mrs. Roberts for the past seven years. Until thre e or four years ago he was a desirable occupant, but since this time he has become a wino an d will drink one to two fifths of wine a day; consequently he is filthy, spits tobacco, nois y and disturbs the other renters until none can sleep. She has found as many as fifteen win e bottles at one time in his room. Although his clothing and personal possessions remain the re she would not like for him to return, but she was interested in his progress. She believe s he needs to be in a Veterans Home for there are no living relatives. She said that his for mer landlady had told her that fifteen of twenty years ago he had a brother, but did not kno w if he was living. She believes that the report of a nephew in Arkansas is in error. Mr. M artin told her he did not receive his veterans or social security check for this month. Sh e said his social security check had been $55.00 before the last raise, but she did not kno w the amount of the veterans payment. He is in debt all over town and owes Mrs. Roberts $11. 00 rent. On January 1, 967, Mr. Roberts [Martin] walked into a swith engine. Luckily the en gine merely glanced him and he fell in the opposite direction, and according to Dr. O.W. Deha rt was not seriously injured. On Jan. 3, 1967 he was sent from Craig Genearal Hospital to yo ur Hospital.

Social Data Dictated: 2-7-67. On 2-3-67 the social worker saw Mrs. Grandstaff, R.W., Waldor f Senior Citizens Home, Muskogee. Mrs. Grandstaff reported the veteran to be getting along a ll right. He had received his clothing from a Mra. Alpha Rogers, Vinita, Oklahoma. He woul d not accept the blackboard and slate for communications, but he enjoyed erasing what someon e else has written on the blackboard. He will stop and let them write notes and is quite a c heerful person, seeming to enjoy kidding a great deal. She reported his disabilities were n ot hindering him from making friends in the nursing home. The social worker later talked wit h Mrs. Tressel about another situation and during this time this veteran came up and playfull y took one of Mrs. Tressel's lighted cigarettes from the ash tray. According to Mrs. Tresse l he has no living relatives. Mrs. Alpha Rogers, 619 N. 2nd Street, Vinita, Oklahoma, whos e deceased husband was a close friend of the veteran's had written, sending the veteran's soc ial security check to the nursing home. In a letter she mentioned the veteran had no livin g relatives and the tone of her letter was warm and considerate of the veteran with the expla nation she could not care for him because of her own infirmities. The matter of how to depos it his social security check to his account at VAH, Muskogee was cleared and Mrs. Tressel wil l get the check and have it endorsed by the veteran and get it to the Registrar's office at t he hospital for deposit. The social worker plans to see the veteran from time to time in th e future. Annie S. Meigs Social Worker. ASN:mt 2-8-67 MARTIN, Carl E. C 291 79 23 VA OPC Mus kogee, Oklahoma.
