Guaranteed to make a person be as quick as possible
    No perfume today, just very friendly helpful staff. I was shown the volume of medical notes, with everything ribboned off except the entry I needed. I don't think there was a guillotine waiting for any fingers tempted to untie the ribbons, but you can understand why privacy and confidentiality is paramount in these matters.

    Anyway, mystery solved. It seems the asylum were pretty straightforward in their reporting of the death.
