I have wondered whether or not our present system of compensation to that type of individual was the best, or whether the system of Canada or England would be better. In other words, they do not put a premium on a man to go to a hospital. If I am correct, a man gets less money when he goes into a hospital than when he is out. It is my meagre opinion that in that type of neurosis, he would tend to fight harder as an individual to put himself back into a financial, gainful pursuit; and with the advantages the Government offers him now, especially through rehabilitation, I feel he could be put on a much better adjustment than he was before. Another point which has recently come to the attention of us locally is the question of guardianship; and I am going to ask Dr. Guthrie if it is a known fact that two men in the same hospital, with the same disease—that one will draw his compensation without a guardian, the other is required to have one. DR. GUTHRIE: It was our understanding that a man who is a psychotic by reason of service should at least have a guardian. If that is not true, I suggest to the Hospital Committee that it is a point for consideration, as it puts the man in the field between the devil and the deep, blue sea. DR. W. A. WHITE: I think the man who has a guardian has one usually because his people have applied for such. I believe the Bureau never relinquishes the right to control of the funds, and is not obliged to pay the funds to the guardian. Legally the patient can be paid if he is competent. DR. CHRONQUEST: In looking over histories of cases that come to West Roxbury and information received, I believe that a point that would be of help to the service as a whole is the getting of accurate histories. We find patients being transferred to N.P. hospitals, who have a diagnosis which is not correct according to the past histories taken, due to the fact that careful search has not been made in gathering the facts of the men’s disabilities. At times it may be the fault of the examining physician. It may be the fault of the social service department. Again, it may be the fault of the individual, or of the family itself in trying to protect the patient in question. I believe that those errors, which are seen every once in a while, should be overcome; and I feel that all of us, whether Neuro-psychiatrists or not, who have anything to do with either neuroses or psychoses, should be extremely careful of the histories and get them complete, detailed and accurate.
