Identifier: CAC_CC_003_2_32_10_0014
In the summer of 1974, Mr. Bruce Lone Wolf's son underwent emergency surgery and was admitted to St. Johns Hospital. The next day, he was advised that Claremore Indian Hospital would not be able to pay for his emergency care. Mr. Lone Wolf then contacted U.S. Senator Dewey Bartlett's office for assistance.
Director of the Oklahoma City Indian Health Service John Davis responded to Senator Bartlett's inquiry, explaining that the hospital had to establish a system of medical care priorities, and that under present conditions, it would not be possible to provide financial assistance to Mr. Lone Wolf's son.
