DOCTOR'S OPINIONS ON INHERITED INSANITY
This Morning's Testimony In
The
Quie Case
....
"The fact that a patient may have an insane parent means that that patient would have a greater liability to develop mental illness but you certainly cannot under any circumstances whatsoever diagnose insanity because one or the other parent had it."
This statement was made by Dr Ellis Stungo, Harley Street physician and psychiatrist when he continued his testimony in the action for damages against three Government doctors before the Acting Chief Justice, Mr Justice T. J. Gould, and a Jury in the Supreme Court this morning.
Dr Stungo further answered in the negative when asked by leading Coun- sel for the plaintiff: "Are all people insane if their parents have been found insane?"
