  DESCRIPTION  This series is comprised of patient appointment 
               books, blood and bone marrow data,  iron studies 
               data, and miscellaneous clinical information 
               pertaining to platelets,  hematocrits, 
               electrophoresis, and osmotic fragility. The 
               majority of the information in this  series is 
               kept in small, bound logs or notebooks. 
               Appointment books contain patient  name, 
               procedures, and physician name. Blood counts and 
               bone marrow data include  patient name, date of 
               count, raw data, and occasional notes. Iron 
               studies include patient  name, weight, date, 
               diagnosis and radioactivity injected, plus graphs 
               and data relating  to iron--59 injections. Several 
               binders labeled "Blood Volumes" contain sheets 
               listing  patient name, weight, height, references 
               to iodine-131 and date, time, and volume of  
               injection. There are 13 sheets here that include 
               the notation "San Quentin" after the  patient 
               name. These "San Quentin" sheets date from 
               February and March of 1950.  Miscellaneous 
               clinical entries include patient name, date, and 
               raw data.
