PROBLEMS, ETC.
THE SGT WITH THE UNUSUAL [UNK] VEIN THROMBOSIS OF THE ARM DISCUSSED
LAST WEEK HAS RECOVERED WITHOUT SEQUELAE AND AWAITS DISCHARGE FROM
THE HOSPITAL PENDING RETURN OF A SATISFACTORY PROTHROMBIN TIME ON
CUMADIN. THERE HAS BEEN NO PARTICULAR CAUSE FOR THIS OCCURRENCE
DISCOVERED AND I SUSPECT HIS STRENUOUS WEIGHT TRAINING INVOLVING
REPETITIVE CURLS MAY HAVE PRECIPITATED THIS EVENT AS IT PRECEDED THE
ONSET OF SYMPTOMS BY JUST A FEW DAYS.
WE HAD 3 DNIF'S THIS WEEK, ONE INVOLVING A NAVIGATOR WHO HAD TO
EXCUSE HIMSELF FROM A MISSION DUE TO SEVERE DIARRHEA, THE FIRST CASE
AMONG OUR CREWS IN 6 WEEK. THE OTHERS DUE TO URI'S. ONE PILOT
DEVELOPED A BAROTITIS MEDIA ON DESCENT WHILE FLYING WITH A COLD. HIS
PERSISTENT EAR BLOCK IS UNDER TREATMENT WITH ANTIBIOTICS AND A
DECONGESTANT. THE EAR PAIN IS GONE BUT HE NOW HAS SOME TINNITUS
BILATERALLY WHICH I EXPECT TO RESOLVE OVER THE REMAINING 5 DAYS OF
HIS DNIF PERIOD.
THERE WERE NO NEW ADMISSIONS AND THE HEALTH AND MORALE OF OUR AIRCREW AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL REMAIN HIGH.
