Medical notes: 'The father of this patient, still living, was reported to be suffering from diabetes and had had more than one paralytic stroke. The patient was formerly healthy and became a nurse at the Norfolk and Norwich hospital. While thus employed she was found to be diabetic about seven months before her death. No cause was made out for the onset of the disease unless it was to be attributed to anxiety about the illness of her father. Six weeks before her death she left the Norwich hospital on account of failing health, and came to London. She had been recently nursing a case of influenza, and on the night of June 9th was taken severely ill with pain on the right side of the chest and dyspnoea'
