Dear Mr. Lynch,

Thank you for your letter of January 6, 1992,
informing me that I had been reappointed to the Active Medical Staff.
Unfortunately the approved departmental delineation form which specifies
my subspecialty surgical privileges (photocopy attached)
is illegible, and I am unable to
determine from the face of it whether privileges to perform
orbital surgery, laser surgery (argon),
and laser surgery (yag) all of which I requested,
have been approved or not.
.PP
Pursuant to Article III, Section 5, paragraph c. of
the Medical Staff Bylaws, you would have notified
me promptly by certified mail, return receipt requested,
if the privileges in issue had been denied me,
and since I received no such notification,
I infer that these privileges have indeed been granted.
.PP
Nonetheless I request that you explicitly confirm for me
that
.ul
all
privileges, including
orbit, laser surgery (argon), laser surgery (yag), which I requested
have indeed been approved by the Board of Trustees, in order that,
if my inference were incorrect, I might avail myself in a timely manner
of the appellate review procedures provided by Article VII.
.PP
Thank you for your help.
