-Since AUgU3t of 1934.
From wha t medical school did you graduate,sir?
University of Pennsylvania.
And with w;lat hospital are you :lOwassociated?
Monongahe_a Memorial,Monongahela,Pa.
Are you pr-jsently engaged in tho;practice of mecl:il.dne?
Right.
t • ,rtll
Where is your office located,D)ctor?
Finleyville,Pa.
And how long have you.practiced in 'F~nleyville?
34 years.1 beg your~pardon;36 years.-.
Now~do you know the alleged incompetent,Agnes Caldwell Ostrand ?
I do.
Has she been a patient C?f:fyours in the past?
Yes,for a ':lumber of years.
Did you have'occasion to examir:.e Agnes Caldwell Ostrander in
December of 1970·?
I did.
And will yOT]tecH the Court the circumstances surrounding your
seeing Mrs.Ostrander?
Yes.I saw her first on December 22,in the Emergency Room at
Monongaleha Hospital where she was brought by members of her
family.-At that time she was confused,showed.weakness in her
.extremities,particularly the right upper pllnd lower extremities,end
had difficulty in speaking.
What caused this weakness in her extremities and in speech?
In my opinion it was caused by/cerebral vascular accident.
Can you explain in layman's terns exactly what this is?Is thi.s
'a stroke of sorts?
It would be considered a stroke or a clotting of blood in one of the
brain vessEls.
WOuld you deem this to be,in gh".s-case to be of a serious nature
4
<f '-
to Mrs:'Ostrander ?
It was very critical...
•,f'
Will you de3cribe to the Cou'rt the effect of such'---you call it a
C.V.A.}3.S trdke in this cas e ?
In thisPFJatient,forAnstance,'it ,caused a paraly~is of the upper ~nd,
-lower extremities on the right side of th~body and she had an
inability to speak,which is <?i2l&~llEd a motor aphasia,that varied
'.
from time.toti~1.e.S~e wou,ld,h"a m~nn,er of spe,aking,igive off.....,....:'''''~
j :to •
a.few monosyllables ana then'other'times she was not able to
articulate at all.
-,
But generally she was not able to communicate i.n an intelligent
manner?
That's correct.
How long was Mrs.Ostrander under your care because of this
occurrence?
A She was in the MOtiOfigahela Memorial Hospita~from December 22
5
until Jam.;ary 13,1971.
Q .Doctor,in your opinion,would Agnes Ostrander,in the condition
which you last saw her,be able to manage her property or care
for business matters?
A It is my opinion that she would not be.able to.
Q Why is this,Doctor?
A Her inability to communicate and to be certain that she wou U
,",.
understand totally the things that would be required for her to
;'......,'*•
understand.
Q'By the way,'Doctor.do you knc'A;~how old Mrs.Ostrander is or
do you know?.
~7 ••
A She was 7?the firs't day of May.this y.ear.
Q W~hen was the last time you had oc'casion to see the alleged hcompE tent?
A ,The date of transfer from Moncngahela Memorial Hospital to Fortes
~,jo..'~
':pavillion in Pittsbu:rgh,that was January 13.
Q
A
What was the reason-for the transfer?.r.,...._
Ther'e was no longer .evidence hat any progre~s would be possible
in a general care hosp,ital..It was felt,t,hat she would be in ar.
•~1o •
extended care facility where ph:1S iotherapy could be institute:!and
helped that way.
Q In other words,there was actuc::lly nothing more that could b=done
at Monongahela Hospital?
A That was our opinion.
Was M rs.Ostrander's conditi'on the type that would improv =..'
6
after she left the hospttal or wO:.lld it remain static or what?
A That would be aa:\difficult questbn to gi.ve a firm answer to.For
the most pert,because of her history of having hyper.tension and
having had treatment over a nunber of years,it is my opinion that
she would not show very much i:nprovement.However,there is an
outside possibility that such could take place.
To put it aEother way,did she s·uffer any permanent type damage
that poss ib:"y could ~ot.change,:::ould not improve?Was there
evidence of that?
I
Well,there was no improv'emect from the date of her admissio~tol,.'
the hospita~until sh~was transferred.In fact,there was a deteriol-oation
of her condition.
Could it be ·inferred from that fact that there possibly was permane ht
damage dOLe?
I-
. I think it would be .fair to assume that.
·.And b~ing iri such a condition,she would be unable to manage her
property.Is'that true?
Correct...,.
Your Honor,I have no further questions of Dr.Stevenson.
EEiAMINATION BY THE COURT:
Q Dr.Ste~enson,do you state tha.=her condition is due to arteriosclE :,osis?
A Correct.
Q And the pr,?gnosis would be poo~?
A Exactly.
Q Is she in such condition that shE-might be improperly influened by
others if she were permitted to handle her own business affairs?
