Case Study #2: Vinyl Chloride

Letter from Vinyl Chloride manufacturer asking doctor to cover up mysterious hand disease in its employees.

“We have recently
observed several cases
of hand disabilities...”

"We have recently observed several cases of hand disabilities in one of our plants, the cause of which is as yet unknown. We would like to determine as quietly as possible whether similar disabilities might exist in the Avon Lake Plant, and for this reason I would like to have you casually examine our employees' hands as part of any other medical service you provide to them. We do not wish to have this discussed at all, and I request that you maintain this information in confidence."
