1930
April 16 : no change since admission
April 23 : does a little raffia work otherwise the same
April 30 : much the same, always complaining about her head put on a bromide valium mixture which she says did her good (something)
May 30 : not quite (something) depressed but still looks pretty (?) (something) and complains of her head
June 15 : (something) depressed complains of much pain in her legs and difficulty in walking. Probably rheumatic. Transferred to bed in Inf (infirmary?)
June 18 : was in a drowsy asthemic condition for last 2 days and last night at 9.45pm had cerebral attack with hemiparesis of left side (reported by nurse). This morning she was semi concious with exaggerations of right knee jerk but with normal plantar reflexes. Catheter (something) of urine (something). T (temperature) 102 (something) with rapid breathing
June 19 : very ill T(temperature) 101.2 am. Tubular breathing and crepitations at right base. Sank rapidly and died at 4.20pm

agreed on the specimen (just looks like it has a T on the end of it), and the taken
the missing word on that like just after T 102 looks like it ends in "ght".... just worked it out...does it stay "T 102 tonight"?

and what about ...
April 30. .......... says did her good before
?
-
yep well done ;D
its "before"
-
any thoughts on the word directly underneath May 30? Can't even work out what it could be
-
My first thought was "miserable" and now I'm stuck with my first thought!
-
I think i'd go with miserable. it certainly begins with an "m" and ends in "able" and there is a dot for an "i" and it would fit with talk of her being depressed
have we got everything now?

Thanks very much for the decryptions, excellent work.
I have no idea how you people do this sort of thing.
I think The PM report stated cause of death as i) Chronic Nephritis and ii) Pneumonia - 2 days

June 18th Catheter specimen of urine sent.
This is n't bad to read if your used to medical notes!!! I've seen much worse.

I don't know about Ruth, but I used to be a secretary so am used to reading all sorts of handwriting - and my own shorthand.
One of the signatures on the death certificate, the one called Taylor, looks like the one who was making and initialing the medical notes too.

medical negligence lawyer.....quite used to the deciphering modern records so it helps on all these older ones...doctors writing hasn't changed in decades - still awful ;)
signatures on the main first post look like they are signed off by an "AST" so yes, same doctor on progress report and the death certificate

Thanks again for your excellent work and collabration
