iL 1&.
0 Q And where do you have your office's?
A Fayette City, Pa.
Q Are you duly licensed to practice medicine in the State
of Pennsylvania?
A Yes.

Q How long have you been/practicing physician?
A Since 1937,
9
Q Dr. Dent, in your duties as a physician, are you an
attending physician of Maude E. Klein?
A Yes, sir.
Q Do you have your offices with an associate, Dr. Connelly~
A Yes.
Q Have both of you treated Mrs. Klein?
c A We have. z ~ Q Dr. Dent, could you tell us what the condition of Mrs.
~ z ~ Klein is? Now on that, if you··would tell me how long you
II.
~ N
have been treating her ana how her condition has worsene~,
ifi it has.
We have known Mrs. Klein for a period probably of 12 to
15 years. And my most recent experience with her was in
February of this year, at .whiich time they brought her
to the Che.::rle.r04.:"Mone ssen Hospital with an apparent
convulsion which she had had at home at that time. Mrs.
ui a: ~ Klein had been suffering for many years from cerebral a: 0 II. ~· ~rte:rlosclerosis and symptom-wise it presented a loss
~ 5 of memory and was unaware at times of her surroundings. u
But she was able to be attended at home up until the last
attack, which was characterized by the convulsion. So
we had her infue hospital for a period of two or three
weeks in February. But her conditimhad gradually
deteriorated mentally and her son wasn't able to cope
with her at home, so she was transferred to a nursing
home where she is at the present time.
10
Q Doctor, in your opinion as a physician, is it your opinjon
L
11
that Mrs. Klein is incom~tent because of the mental
infirmities of old age and is unable to manage her prope ty
or liable to dissipate it or become the .victim of design ng
persons?
A Yes, that is my opinion that she is incompetent.
Q And do you feel then a guardian should be appointed if t1e
~ Court so agrees for Mrs. Klein?
~ g A Yes, sir, I do.
~ ~ Q If the Court pl~ase, I don't have any more questions
i ~ of Dr. Dent.

Dr. Dent, what is the ·approximate age of Maude E. Klein?
72, I believe. I have some notes here. Yes, 72 •
And had she been confined to a hospital before she was 0
sent to the nursing home?
Yes, she was in the Charleroi Monessen Hospital from
February 7, 1971 to February 23, 1971
~ Q And then after February 23 was wheh she went to the
II. 0 nursing horrie?
A That's correct.
Q And she is still at the nursing home?
A To the best of my knowledge, yes.
Q There's no congenital condition that would have caused
this disturbance, is there?
A No.
Q
A
-----------------------------------------------.~----.
Arteriosclerosis is attendant generally with old age.
Yes, that 1 s true. Although this is a little premature,
but on several previous occasions she had what we felt
then were mild strokes probably.
12
You are satisfied now, doctor, that·she is not in condit on
to look after her business affairs and if she were permi 1uted
to do so she mght become the victim of designing individ~als?
Yes, sir, I do. .
Dr. D.ent1 is there another :Soctor Dent with your group
there?
No. Dr. Connelly is with me. He 1 s associated with me.
(At the direction of the Court, off-the-record discussio~
was not recorded by the stenographer).
Dr. Dent, you practice in Fayette City, which is in
Fayette County?
Yes.
And this person, ·Maude E •. Klein, was living in Allenport
Borough?
Yes.
But she came over there?
It 1 s just across the river.
Now in a situation such as we have here with her, Dr.
Dent, what would be the prognosis?
A Well, as far as her ever regaining, .say, her normal
thinking, I feel that would be very slight. This is
usually a progressive downfuill course as it has been wit~
her in the past two or three years. She never seemed to
•
quite come back to the place she was when she would have
these attacks. But this I would say is the most severe
that she's had.
Q So that you would class this as a permanent thing with
her now at her age?
A I would say yes.
~ Q So that there would be very little likelihood of a real
z ~ ~ recovery? > Ol z ~A That's right.
II.

You're excused, doctor. Thank you.
