Louis Letson. Are you now going to ask why his name is not on the paperwork? The guy that signed it was his assistant, a nurse if you will. Apparently this was quite common. Also Mr. Letson was the ONLY doctor on the base the entire time he was there. And then?

Yeah, that's what I was waiting for. so basically it's his word against everyone else.
I suppose you know what Hibbard had to say: "Hibbard recalls that Kerry had a "minor scratch" on his arm and was holding in his hand what appeared to be a fragment of a U.S. M-79 grenade, the shrapnel that had caused the wound.
So Hibbard and Leston's reports don't match. But both are honest and truthful men whose recollection of events 35 years prior are razor sharp. Which is correct -- or is either?
Oh, and I gotta say that identifying a piece of shrapnel as small as this one is supposed to be as having come from a specific weapon is absurd. It's just another loaded comment intended to make Kerry look bad.
So Kerry left Vietnam having lead two dozen missions, being recognized twice for valor and having two uncontested purple hearts. But the smear-ers are focusing on one purple heart awarded to him -- Kerry didn't award it to himself -- and it makes you wonder if they're trying to shift the focus from Kerry's accomplishments or from GWBs 'war record.' Or both...
