"Admitted to CRI. Died. This emaciated old woman was first seen lying on her back on a stretcher in the ambulance. She appeared to be in the terminal stages of illness. She cried out in pain at the slight movement caused by the M.O [medical officer], taking her pulse, although the arm was moved gently and only slightly. She could not give her name but nodded in agreement when M.O. gave it. She could give no account of herself. In the circumstances she was given morphia on admission and no further mental examination made. For three weeks before her admission she was confined to bed but occasionally able to get up. Was able to get up forvtoilet purposes etc. Was mentally clear, memory good, could read, appetite good. She fell on Friday night while using the commode and fractured her femur. Has been on sedatives since and has had very little to eat or drink. Stone deaf too."
