-13SUMMARY OF MEDICAL SURVEY
From a medical standpoint, the January-February survey was a very
productive one.
We saw a total of 500 patients.
From this group we
identified eleven new patients with thyroid nodules.
Most of these
patients will be scheduled to return to the United States for evaluation
and probable surgery.
In addition, we found a significant number of
ancillary primary care problems that were treated to the best of our
ability, and those cases that needed further treatment were referred
to the TT health care delivery system.
I want to express my sincere
thanks to the members of the party for their services under some very
trying conditions.
I would particularly like to thank Mr. William
Stanley for his attempts to mediate in the severe logistic problems
that we encountered in dealing with U.S. Oceanography.
