The colonel’s general health continued to be quite good in 1975-76, despite the minor heart ailment, bladder problem and blood abnormality, Neilson continued. Transferred in July, 1976, to the "Office of the Attending Physician" a downtown dispensary in the Capitol Building, the commander kept on treating Holmes as an out-patient, both at the farm and in his office, frequently sending medicine to Flint Hill by Billy Melton, a lab technician the colonel had met, befriended and invited out to hunt.
Called By Krebser
In the spring of 1979, Neilson said, he received a call from Dr. Werner Krebser who had seen Holmes at the Rappahannock clinic after the colonel fell and hurt his leg. According to Neilson, Krebser found nothing significantly wrong with the leg but discovered a mass in the abdomen and suggested an x-ray. After discussion, it was decided to have tests run on Holmes at the hospital, Neilson said.
