Entry 193
I have heard that student doctors used to roam the streets of our cities and would kidnap people that were found out late and unprotected, and especially so, if the person had any abnormality in which the student doctor was interested. I have also heard that there was a lady, who said that she was out late one night, and a student doctor stole her and carried her into the hospital and put her upon the table and cut her heel string. She Was slowly bleeding to death when her husband and other relatives came into the hospital with a policeman; they tracked them there and arrested the doctor and freed the woman. And after while because of medical treatment she be- came well again.
Entry 194
Years ago when I was a girl there used to be student doctors. They were allowed so many bodies a year, if they got them. After ten o'clock [at night] the girls couldn't go out or remain out, afraid the student doctors would catch them. All this I am talking about, now is called foggery [fogeyism].
