Abstract
In my fourth year on the faculty at the University of California, Los Angeles–Harbor General Hospital and my first year as Chief, a young Latin-American man, a Jehovah's Witness, was admitted on December 20, 1967, with painless rectal bleeding of 1 day's duration. Our studies were nondiagnostic (fiberoptic endoscopy and selective angiography were not available then); rectal bleeding persisted. His hematocrit was 31% on admission and, after administration of dextran and electrolyte solution, fell to 22%.
