WW1 medical document - totally unreadable!

['Trish']

I dont know if you can help, I have a copy of my grandfather's WW1 medical record & cannot work out what is written. I know you normally would deal with more antiquated documents. Regards Trish

Could you scan the document for us to have a look at?

Hi, I have attached the scanned document, you know what they say about doctors handwriting! regards Trish

This is what I can read from the rest of the document.
Healed scar on BS? front of L. thigh through which L.femoral aneurism was ? revised or excised - oedema L.calf.
8.11.18  ? aneurism ? and wound sutured.
20.2.17 FB ( foreign body ) removed from R.leg and ? sequest.... done
17.9.17 Second op. inscision for drainage ? GSW R. leg ? ant..... of tibia.
Part......

I hope that helps a little bit and someone can fill in the gaps.I will leave this even though Danuslave and I agree on most things!!

I was working on this while danuslave and nainmaddie were posting and have come to a very similar transcription.

I think it's excised rather than revised in both cases and the word after tibia is 'fractured' or something similar.

Poor chap, that all sounds really painful.

I'll go with excised   

Didn't think of Foreign Body

Nice to know we're all more or less agreed
