X-ray of Marilyn Monroe's from a side view. Printed on the x-ray is the following information, "Cedars of Lebanon Hospital/Drs. E. Freedman and S. Finck/ Name Di Maggio Marilyn/ No. 50612 Date 11-10-54/ Ref. By Dr. L. Krohn." As a radiology resident at Cedars, a young doctor obtained these x-rays. When he taught at the school himself, he used these x-rays to ensure that students were paying attention. Monroe was said to have known about the x-rays and their use, about which she said "Isn't that sweet." Monroe's hospital visit was said to be for her chronic endometriosis - or as her doctor's described it, "For correction of a female disorder she has suffered for years." 17 by 13 3/4 inches Categories: Marilyn Monroe
