Scope and Contents

"This woman is a mess. She is nervous and excitable, has a very high blood pressure (235/145) drinks 40 cups of tea a day. Kidneys, heart and ptituitary are wrong. Certainly neurotic to the nth degree. May be the result of a financial shock some years ago. Should be seen by a psychiatrist but won't come to the clinic - too superior. Nurse confirms - non-stop talker about her symptoms. Home very clean and comfortable, she lacks for nothing. Her husband spoils her."
