I had an aunty admitted in the 1960s- they misdiagnosed her. She was placed in an asylum for a short period of time.. I don't know the actual name of the hospital but was told it was in Parkville. Have you tried the State Library of Victoria - "Ask the Librarian" - they may be able to help. cheers Maria Melbourne On Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 6:53 PM, J & S Duggan <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Ray, > > Many thanks.
