Text: The evidence with respect to the Crosby matter consisted of the testimony of Morris S. Berman and a series of papers from his office file, introduced as Commission Exhibit 6A through 6G. Crosby did not appear as a witness. Exhibit 6A is a Negligence Information Form filled out by someone other than Respondent at the time Crosby was first interviewed on November 19, 1973, stating the date of accident to be November 17, 1973. Exhibit 6G is the office carbon copy of a form letter dated November 19, 1973, to Dr. Leonard Gilmor referring Crosby to him for treatment. This letter has the typed name of the Respondent as the sender. Exhibit 6B is a carbon copy of the completed form of which Exhibit 6G is the office copy, showing a written signature of the Respondent per VF. On this letter is written, `Never came in.' A date stamp on Exhibit 6B shows that it was received in the Berman office on December 12, 1973. Exhibit 6C is a carbon copy of a note dated December 17, 1973, in the handwriting of the Respondent addressed to Crosby in which the Respondent states, `Dr. Gilmor advises that you have not yet seen him. Please arrange to see him immediately ...' Exhibit 6D is a report of Dr. Gilmor dated April 26, 1974, stating that Crosby was examined by the doctor on November 19, 1973. Attached is Dr. Gilmor's bill dated July 18, 1974, charging for seven physical therapy treatments rendered on dates in November and December, 1973, before December 17, 1973, the date of Respondent's note  Exhibit 6C. Exhibit 6D was forwarded by Berman to an adjuster for the insurer as proof of damages in support of Crosby's claim. Respondent did not testify specifically concerning the Crosby matter.
