Hi, it isn't really a question of genealogy, but I'm trying to help an elderly neighbour - he is puzzled by very hazy memories of quite extensive medical treatment that he had when he was very young, and would like to know what was wrong with him, if that makes sense.
He's tried to access his own medical records and his school records for clues, but as he, his parents and siblings left the country for several years, these early records seem to have been destroyed. Unfortunately he was so young that he can't really remember what forms the treatment he had took, so we can't deduce anything from that, and he has no living relatives still around from those days that he could ask.
The only thing he is positive about is that he was hospitalised in Glasgow, he thinks probably GRI, and he puts the date of hospitalisation at around the late 20s/very early 30s. Does anyone know if patient admissions or other details from this era are available, and if so, can they be accessed by post or consulted in person? Many thanks for reading this, and for any suggestions or confirmation that the records have perished.
