Letters, diaries and photographs from World War II

Wednesday 4th July 1945

I went to see the Medical Officer who suspects Fibrosis and refers me to a specialist. He considers Infra Red treatment and massage may help.

This entry refers to the injury John sustained in India when he fell from the roof of a building.

Fibrosis is the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ or tissue in a reparative or reactive process. In response to injury, this is called scarring, and if fibrosis arises from a single cell line, this is called a fibroma.
