daughter, Mary patricia Downing, executed a new power of
Attorney while her daughter was visiting her in Cumberland
County, pennsylvania.
After executing a new power of

at the special insistence and request of Mary patricia
Downing, went to the Fulton Bank and the Commonwealth Bank
accompanied by her daughter, and removed approximately Eight

11. As a direct result of the severity of the alleged
incapacitated person's mental or physical condition, which
renders her totally incapable of managing her financial
affairs, it is necessary that a temporary guardian or
guardians of her estate be appointed to handle her financial
affairs and to manage her real and personal property located
in Cumberland County, pennsylvania, to insure that her
finances are managed properly for the benefit of the alleged
incapacitated person.
12. The failure to make such an appointment of a
temporary guardian or guardians empowered to handle the
alleged incapacitated person's financial affairs will result
in irreparable harm to the alleged incapacitated person and
her estate.
Petitioner is aware that the alleged
incapacitated person executed a Power of Attorney on or about
March 26, 1996, however, Petitioner believes, and therefore
avers, that the alleged incapacitated person was not competent
to execute a Power of Attorney, and that the Power of Attorney
I
I

was the result of the special insistence, urging, and coercion
of Mary Patricia Downing, the alleged incapacitated person's
daughter.

16. A petition for Adjudication of Incapacity and
Appointment of a Plenary Guardian of the Estate and Person of
the Alleged Incapacitated Person in this matter is currently
pending before this Court, filed on or about April 9, 1996.
17. No other Court has ever assumed jurisdiction in any
proceedings to determine the capacity of the alleged
capacitated person.
lB. No other guardian has been appointed to the estate
of the alleged incapacitated person.
WHEREFORE, petitioner respectfullY requests that this
Honorable Court appoint Thomas Sheaffer as a temporary
guardian of the estate of the alleged incapacitated person,
and specificallY to make provisions for the guaranteed
preservation of the assets of the alleged incapacitated
person's estate so that these assets will not be dissipated by

Q It was an emergency hearing that you testified
to.
A Okay. So we have to do it allover again?
Q Yes, unfortunately. Mr. Shultz and I diligently
tried to avoid having to depose you today. We're at the door
but not through the doorway yet of resolving this matter.
Dr. Sullivan, I'd like to begin by going through
your curriculum vitae, which you submitted to me earlier this
week. Do you have a copy with you?
A Yes.
Q I'm going to be having this marked.
A Can I see what you have so I know we're on the
same track? (Reviewing exhibit.) Okay, same one.
MS. MACDONALD-MATTHES: I'll have that marked as
Petitioner's 1.
(Petitioner's Exhibit NO.1 was marked.)
BY MS. MACDONALD-MATTHES:
Q And Dr. Sullivan, I note here that it says that
you did your undergraduate degree at the University of
Cincinnati; is that correct?
A Correct.
Q And that you did your medical studies at the
University of Cincinnati Medical School as well?
A That's correct,
Q And you did a family practice residency in the
~..;
5
1 Harrisburg Hospital?
2 A Yes.
3 Q And that you were the Chief Resident of the
4 Harrisburg Hospital Department of Family Practice between Jul
5 1977 and July 1978?

Q And can you talk a little bit about your
employment experience since your completion of residency?
A The first year following graduation from residenc
I was in a partnership with a Dr, Cincotta and we were
employed basically -- well, we were on our own. We had
contracts with emergency rooms, with nursing homes while we
were establishing our patient flow, We weren't particularly
employed by anyone other than ourselves, but we -- we had our
own contracts to provide services.
Q And after this partnership did it just naturally
evolve into something else or did you eventually move onto
other
A Well, as time went on, it did evolve. And it
evolved into -- we had some differences of philosophy that
eventually led to me going solo. So I split off from them in
1987 and have been solely here ever since.
Q And the nature of your practice is primarily what
field?
A It's a combination of family practice,
6
1 environmental illnesses, and what would be called some
2 alternative or integrated medicine,
3 Q And are you board certified?
4 A Yes.
5 Q What are you board certified in?
6 A I'm board certified in family practice.
7 Q And family practice encompasses what?
8 A All ages from birth to death.
9 Q And during the course of your practice, have you
10 had the occasion to treat people who are considered to be
11 geriatric patients?
12 A Yes.
13 Q And that would be ages what? What -- at what age
14 does one become qualified as a geriatric patient?
15 A Every -- I .- every year -- I don't know the
16 answer to that. It used to be 65, Now it's -- it's almost
17 70. When I say almost, the label geriatric is -- is a bad
18 label to use in my opinion. And it implies that something's
19 not right with the person, So personally I don't use that
20 label.
21 Q Do you have any other -- I note on your curriculu
22 vitae that you were Chairman of Family practice at the
23 Harrisburg Hospital?
24 A Yes,
25 Q And how long were you the chairman of that
7
1 department?
2 A That was two years, I believe.
3 Q Was that
4 A Maybe - - I'm sorry.
5 Q I'm sorry, Continue.
6 A I think that was a two-year rotation. Yes, that
7 was a two-year thing.
8 Q Now, during the course of your practice, have you
9 had the occasion to meet an individual by the name of patrici
10 Sheaffer?
11 A Yes.
12 Q And how do you know patricia Sheaffer?
13 A She was a patient of mine,
14 Q Do you know when you first saw Patricia Sheaffer?
15 A Um-hum, I first encountered her when I was
16 filling in for Dr, Hobbs. Her first visit to me was in March
17 of 1994.
18 Q And that first visit in March of 1994, did you
19 exclusively see her or was that when you were in practice
20 with I'm sorry, I forgot the name of --
21 A Dr, Hobbs.
22 Q Dr. Hobbs?
23 A I was -- I believe, was just filling in for him.
24 Mrs. Sheaffer had been a patient of -- wait a minute. Let me
25 look and see here. I'm sorry, I need to give you another
8
1 date. I first saw her in late october -- early October 1993,
2 Q And at that time you were in sole practice?
3 A Yes.
4 Q Okay.
5 A Can -- can I tell you something that might help?
6 Dr, Hobbs worked out of this office. He had his own separate
7 practice, I had my own separate practice, We would, however,
8 fill in for each other during vacations.
9 Q Okay,
10 A Okay,
11 Q And when you saw Miss Sheaffer for the first time,
12 what was it that brought her to your office?
13 A She was having back pain,
14 Q And were you able to treat that?
15 A I gave her some medication. And according to
16 Dr, Hobbs's note, the medication did not seem to make a
17 difference so she came back and started to see Dr, Hobbs as a
18 patient as.- as a physician.
19 Q Do you recall when patricia Sheaffer became your
20 patient exclusively?
21 A Yes, That would have been March of 1994.
22 Q And in March of 1994 what brought her back to you
23 practice?
24 A She had been in Minnesota and was apparently
25 hospitalized, found to have a lot of things ~'rong, and she

came back into this area following discharge and needed to
have subsequent care.
Q What type of care did she require at that time
when she came back from Minnesota?
A I don't understand your question.
Q What kind of care? You mentioned that she
needed --
A Basic general medical care, She had been found t
have a thyroid problem. She had a blood pressure and
circulation problem. She had been given several medications,
so her problems needed to be monitored, her medications neede
to be adjusted.
Q At the time that she became your exclusive
patient, that was in March of 1993?
A '94.
Q '94, excuse me. How old was she?
A Oh, my, Let me do a calculation here.
Q Actually, we can -- I think we can figure out how
old she is. Let me move on to other questions for you. In
March of 1994 how would you characterize the mental health of
patricia Sheaffer when she came to see you?
A She showed no evidence of being in any way
compromised. She was living independently. She was cooking
for herself. She was active. And I -- I have no note at all
that raised any question that she was compromised mentally,
10
1 Q Now, how often did you see patricia Sheaffer as a
2 regular patient?
3 A Okay, In March, to get things all under control,
4 I saw her three times, After that - -
5 Q When you say March, March of 1994?
6 A '94.
7 Q Okay,
8 A After that her visits were approximately every tw
9 to three months, depending on what was happening.
10 Q And did she attend her regularly scheduled
11 appointments? Let me rephrase that question.
12 A Yeah,
13 Q She came in to see you every two months?
14 A Approximately,
15 Q Did she bring herself in or was a family member
16 bringing her?
17 A She was accompanied by a family member,
18 Q Do you know who usually brought her in for
19 treatment?
20 A Yes, usually it was Tom, who I believe was the
21 son. And but I also know that there was a daughter. And I
22 don't know how often the daughter came in or not, but I had
23 to -- I had to talk with both of them off and on. But I thin
24 she was usually accompanied by the son.
25 Q And you said that you had to talk with them off
11
-,
, ..
1 and on. What would you have to talk with Mrs. Sheaffer's
2 children about?
3
A
Tom was always curious about what needed to be
4 done so that he could see that it got done. And Linda had
S called on -- on several occasion -- well, at least on one that
6 I have written here, and there may be other times on the call
7 sheets that we keep elsewhere with
8
MR, SHULTZ: Excuse me. Linda being who?
9
THE DEPONENT: There's a Linda Nutter.
10 BY MS. MACDONALD-MATTHES:
11
Q
Linda Nutter is a sister -- is another sibling.
12
A
Who called with questions about medicine her
13 mother was taking on a regular basis, And those issues were
14 all referred back to Tom who was up-to-date on everything.
15 Q During the course of treatment of Patricia
16 Sheaffer did you see a change in her, either for the better 0
17 for the worse?
18 A Yes.
19 Q Yes, there was a change?
20 A Yes, there was a change,
21 Q What type of change did you note?
22 A Over time I noticed that she would be getting more
23 absentminded, She would become slower in her responses and
24 hesitant in a lot of her answers, Those -- those were the
25 kind of changes that I saw.
12
1 Q Now, when you say that she became absentminded,
2 what type of -- of things did she do that led you to this
3 conclusion that she was becoming absentminded?
4 A On one occasion in late 1994, this would be August
5 of '94, she was here as a routine visit and said that she
6 really didn't know why she was here at all. And yet when I
7 spoke to the son about what was happening, which is -- was a
B usual course of events, he implied that she was having a lot
9 more difficulty with her -- let's see -- I think medications
10 had been not taken according to schedule, he was having
11 trouble keeping track of her in terms of her hygiene, But she
12 had no idea why she was here at that point in time, even
13 though it was a regular visit for her.
14 Q Did you note a marked change in her hygiene when
15 she was here in your office?
16 A No, I did not note -- have that as a note, That's
17 hearsay.
1B Q Did you ever discuss with her events that were
19 changing in her life, her -- her home life? Did you ever ask
20 her if she was taking her medicines?
21 A I usually do, I -- and it's so routine that I
22 usually don't write anything down about it unless it flags an
23 abnormal.
24 Q At any time during your discussions with her did
25 you have occasion to note any abnormality in response or have
13
1 a concern as to her responses?
2 A Yes. In -- in March -- I'm sorry. April of '95
3 is when I made the first positive comment that she seems
4 rather confused about those question -. that line of
5 questioning.
6 Q What line of questioning are you -- about what was
7 going on in her life?
8 A Right.
9 Q Okay.
10 A Right.
11 Q At that point in time was there any physical
12 change, dramatic physical change that you noticed about her
13 person?
14 A She .- at that point in time she had demonstrated
15 a weight loss. She was now a hundred and ten pounds, had
16 started off at a hundred fifteen. So there had been a weight
17 loss since August of '94. That would be the most significant
18 physical change.
19 Q Any other physical changes?
20 A The reason for the visit in April was because of a
21 skin rash, which was an acute rash, So it was -- that was
22 also a change, but that's something that she was there for,
23 brought in by the son. And again, she really wasn't sure why
24 she was there that day. And when I quizzed her about the
25 rash, she wasn't sure when it started,
.,,/
. ,./
14
Q Did you ask her if she was eating? Did she know
whether she had eaten or not?
A No, I -- I don't know if I had asked her about
that or not.
Q Now, did you ever have occasion to notice any
distinct changes in her speech pattern?
A Oh, my. I can't say that I have anything in that

Q Refreshing your recollection back to your
testimony at the emergency hearing, you indicated that in you
notes for October '95 .-
A Okay, Okay, In her -- in her pattern -- yes, in
October of '95 she was brought in and she was in a state of
significant confusion. She was rambling from one sentence to
another and had no pattern at all.
Q And what was your impression as to what was
causing this rambling speech pattern? Was she on any
different kind of medication that would have caused that?
A No, she was -. she had no medical reason, no side
effects that could have caused that. My impression was it was
probably a progression of the senility which we had been
seeing, I had a long talk with the family about placement
for __ in the near future because I thought she was headed
I __ she __ actually, I thought she was beyond the need for it
at that point. I thought she needed it.
15
r---)
Q When did you have this discussion with her family
about the need for long-term care?
A 10/12/95.
1
2
3
4 Q And you I believe you stated that she was well
S beyond the need for it?
6 A I think -' I think that this is not the first time
7 that I spoke to them about it, but it's the first time that I
8 wrote it down as such.
9 Q And what led you to that conclusion that that's
10 what she needed?
11 A Because she had a history of falling and injuring
12 herself and would, therefore, be a risk to hurting herself
13 even more in __ in an environment where she lived by herself.
14 Q Were you also concerned that she wasn't eating
15 properly and that was the cause of the weight loss, living by
16 herself?
17 A That's all part of my concerns, yes. It's not
18 stated as such, but there's that; there's the risk of causing
19 a fire in an attempt to cook or forgetting to turn the stove
20 off if you are cooking; so just general considerations of all
21 kinds,
22 Q Did you run any type of tests to confirm your
23 suspicion that there was -- and I don't mean to put words in
24 your mouth __ but would you qualify her condition as
25 age-related dementia or what?

A We did not do any tests to confirm that. There is
really very few that you can choose from, There is one test,
a brain scan, which at that point may have been helpful, but
the overall statistics on the return from doing a brain scan
is so low that you rarely find what you're not looking for.
Q You rarely find what you're not looking for?
A Right.
Q Is there any
A If you -- if you order a brain scan you can make a
list of the different possible things that might show up,
okay, You can see you can see age-related changes, you
could possibly see a brain tumor, you could possibly see a
bruise of the brain that's called a subdural hematoma. All of
these things are very possible, But all of these things
usually have other signs associated with them, other clues,
So if you order a brain scan you have an idea in the back of
your mind what it's going to show.
Q Are there other evaluations that can be done in
order to confirm that someone is having psychological
difficulties or dementia or experiencing dementia?
A If you use the word could, I'm sure that there
are.
Q Did you do any type of evaluation on patricia
Sheaffer?
A On 10/12 .- that's '95, We were at 10/12/95.
17
1 Yes, I did blood testing to check her overall health and her
2 medicine. And the overall pattern was acceptable for her age,
3 and her medication was adjusted properly,
4 Q Refreshing your recollection back to the hearing
5 in May of '95, did you do any kind of evaluation?
6 A Okay. May of '95, In May of '95 she was here
7 because of a bruise that was found around her eye with a
8 scab. She did not remember how it got there, Her son felt
9 that it was a fall that had occurred Monday evening. He even
10 dated it to about 7:15 in the evening because of the timing
11 that he had checked on her. He thought she was out getting
12 her newspaper. We did not do any testing other than the
13 physical exam and a a memory test at that point.
14 Q How did she perform on the memory test?
15 A My note here says that her memory is poor.
16 Q Do you remember what type of things you asked her?
17 A I don't know the specifics.
18 Q At this
19 A No,
20 Q What do you normally ask a patient when you're --
21 A Normally I would ask things like do you know what
22 city this is; do you know who's the president; do you know
23 what year it is; do you know why you're here, questions like
24 that. Do you know who this is (indicating), if they're
25 accompanied by anyone. That's'- that's the kind of memory
1B
1 test that I would do.
2 Q And your notes indicate that she did not perform
3 well
4 A That's correct.
5 Q -- in this? Did you do any other type of
6 evaluation on her at that point?
7 A Define evaluation,
8 Q Any further neurological evaluation?
9 A We did a vision test to see that the nerves of he
10 eyes or that her eyes themselves had suffered, And her visio
11 was okay. Let's see. That's all that I have written down.
12 My overall impression is that it was not a major
13 injury and that it would be just as well to let it heal by
14 itself.
15 Q So the confusion that she was experiencing was not
16 as a result a temporary result of the fall, but -- is that
17 what you're saying?
18 A That .- I think we have -- we have evidence of
19 confusion that predate the fall,
20 Q Okay.
21 A We I have a note in April of '95 that says that
22 we need to pay attention to her state of confusion at this
23 point, which may jeopardize her ability to stay at home
24 alone. That was in April of '95.
25 Q Do you have any other notations in your notes as
-~
19
1 to other dates that she appeared confused while here at your
2 office?
3 A In August of '94 I make a note that she was havin
4 weight loss and increasing difficulty to take care of her.
5 This was according to her son. I did document the weight
6 loss, I could not document the increasing difficulty.
7 Q Did you speak with her? Do you have any
8 indication that you spoke with her about her ability to take
9 care of herself?
10 A I don't think I did. All of that was relayed
11 through the son.
12 Q Based on your evaluation of her or your
13 examination of her, would you perceive her to have difficulty
14 in taking care of herself?
1S A This was -- this would be totally my recollection
16 of the case, Yes, I would see her as having difficulty takin
17 care of herself,
18 Q And why would you state that?
19 A Because I would watch them come from the exam --
20 from the waiting room back to the exam room, I could see her
21 getting more feeble with time. My recollection of the case
22 was indeed that she was showing signs of increasing
23 forgetfulness and hesitation, inability to make decisions.
24 Simple questions would give her a hard time. She'd have a
25 difficult time coming up with simple questions. So my overall
20
1 evaluation would say yes, I saw her deteriorating.
2 Q What was the last time that you saw Miss Sheaffer?
3 A Her last visit was January '96.
4 Q And was there anything remarkable or noted about
5 her or her condition during that visit?

22
23
24
25
A Okay. She was here with a vague symptom of
abdominal pain for the last several days. The only other
source of information came from the grandson who accompanied
her, She was apparently still living alone. He did not
really know any more details about the nature of her pain.
And I have a note that she is extremely confused today.
The examination was focused on the complaint of
the abdominal pain, The abdominal pain, the examination
failed to reveal a specific cause, so I had asked for an
increase in bulk in her diet and then call if problems,
Q Okay.
A At that time her weight was down to a hundred and
four pounds,
Q The loss in the weight, is that attributable to
her not eating well or is that attributable to any kind of
medication that she was on?
A Well, it ._ I would not account for it being due
to the medication because the last time we checked the
medication, which was just three months before that, the dose
was proper. So I don't think that the dose would have gone

out of line that much. Therefore, that would not be in the
list of possible explanations.
Q Okay.
A There are other things in the list, but not the
medication. Yes, poor eating habits would be in there. Coul
she be developing other medical problems at the same time?
Yes, she could be developing other medical problems,
Q Do you think that she was at risk continuing to
live by herself?
10 A Yes,
11 Q A substantial harm?
12 A Define substantial.
13 Q Do you think that her physical condition was at
14 jeopardy by continuing to live by herself?
15
16
17
18
A Yes.
Q Based on your observations of her mental
condition, do you think that she was at risk of potential ha
from others around her because of her confusion?
A She could have been taken advantage of, If
somebody would have said sign here, she would have signed.
She -- she offered no evidence that she was competent to make
decisions.
Q During the course of your practice have you had
the opportunity to observe others similarly situated, other
other individuals with the same type of symptoms which would

Q As a family practitioner, you treat the entire
body?
A Right,
Q As well as the mind?
A Yes.
Q And in your experience is that a common afflictio
of people of Mrs. Sheaffer's age to have the confusion, or
does it depend on a case-by-case analysis?
A It's a case-by-case analysis.
Q Okay,
A The adjectives common and whatnot are .- I can't
answer with those kind of adjectives. It's a case-by-case
issue.
Q And in this particular case, this was, in your
opinion, a dementia of some form?
A Yes, a dementia of some form.
Q Which led you to the conclusion, I believe you
said, that she's not competent?
A Yes.
Q Now, did you provide my office with a letter
setting forth your opinion as to Mrs, Sheaffer's condition?
A I believe that I did. I know I sent someone a

Q

Petitioner's 2?
A Yes,
(Petitioner's Exhibit No.2 was marked.)
BY MS. MACDONALD-MATTHES:
Q Can you identify this for the record, please?
A This is a letter that I sent on April lOth
regarding Pat Sheaffer.
Q And does this set forth your opinion as to her
competency?
A Yes, it does.
Q And is it your opinion that she can no longer
handle routine activities of daily living?
A Yes,
Q And that she would have difficulty in being
responsible for financial transactions?
A Yes, it is.
Q And these opinions were based on your evaluation
of her and examination of her during a course of time from
March of '93 until January of '96?
A Yes.
Q Has there been any other incident which would have
changed your opinion from the opinion which is set forth i:l
your April 10th, 1996 correspondence?
A The only thing -- the only other thing that has
"

happened is that she apparently had an appointment for April
the 11th and failed to show up for the appointment. One can
make an argument as to why, Is that something else that she
forgot?
Q She's in Minnesota, but that's okay.
A Well, I don't know.
Q But no one called -- she didn't call your office
to cancel?

Q No, for her own appointments?
A Tom was usually accompanying her. It would have
to be done through Tom. This last time she was accompanied b
the grandson. I would assume that it was given to the
grandson.
Q But she -- was she scheduling her own
appointments?
A No, no.

We were introduced earlier. I am the attorney who represents
the alleged incapacitated person, We prefer incapacitated, as
does the State of pennsylvania.
A Okay,
Q Simply for the connotation that incompetent
denotes. However'-
A I am well aware that terminology gets very mucky.
And, you know, the use of adjectives and whatnot, qualifiers,
I don't like them. So I know how sticky things can be over
one word,
Q Yes, In fact, you had said that you don't even
use the word geriatric in your practice?
A Right.
Q We had gone over your curriculum vitae and it
appears to me to be suitably impressive. What, if I may ask,
is the University of Hawaii certificate that's on your wall?
A That's for a course in allergy that I took.
Q And you are certified with the Board of Allergies
or have you more boards? I have you have American Academy of
Allergies -- I can't even pronounce that.
A Of Otolaryngic Allergy. I -- I am right now boar
eligible for the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy.
for this group here, the American Academy of Environmental
Medicine, AAEM, I will sit for their boards. I will sit for
the board of AAOA, hopefully, in the fall of this year, at
i-"'
'.

which time I then will be boarded in family practice and
AAOA. And eventually I will be boarded in AAEM,
Q The environmental part of your practice that you
referred to
A Urn-hum.
Q -- and you just now were talking about, what
percent of your practice would you guess that that
encompasses?
A Right now, if I had to guess, it would be 25
percent.
11 Q And the allergy part, is that part of the
12 integrated?
13
A
No. Allergy -- allergy actually is more part of
14 the environmental,
15 Q What is involved with the integrated medicine?
16 You touched on it briefly.
17 A Okay. Again, integrated is the term -- and I
18 don't want to get hung up in terms -- but historically there
19 have been several schools of philosophy that developed over
20 the years. One school of philosophy is homeopathic medicine,
21 Another school of philosophy is naturopathic medicine.
22 Another school of philosophy is allopathic medicine,
23 Another well, those are the main schools of -- of medicine
24 right now.
25 Allopathic medicine seems to control all the
27
1 buttons and chains of insurance companies and policy makers.
2 Until now if you were an allopath you -- you did not use any
3 of the other philosophical techniques. You did not use
4 chiropractics, you did not use osteopaths, you did not use
5 homeopaths. And likewise, if you were a homeopath you did not
6 use any of the allopathic techniques. You did not write
7 prescriptions, you did not write drugs, and you excluded all
8 else from -- from that area,
9 The concept of integrated medicine is that we
10 actually take the best of all the worlds. We use
11 prescriptions when necessary. We use vitamins and herbs when
12 helpful. We use diet whenever possible. I do not do
13 homeopathy, but the term integrated means we are taking the
14 best of all the worlds and combining them.
1S Q Would it be safe to say that in that -- with all
16 that that discipline encompasses and I have no idea what
17 you were saying in terms of some that not being -- basically
18 essentially being a layman -- would it be safe to say that yo
19 look at environment, in terms of well-being of patients, is
20 environment a factor in their well-being as is diet and
21 medication, et cetera?
22 A Yes. Now, environment means not only their livin
23 capacity or their living space, So environment also means the
24 quality of the air that they breathe, the quality of the food
25 that they eat, water that they drink, and other parameters as

well.
Q Quality of the social interaction?
A That would not necessarily fall into the
environmental issue, but it would certainly fall into the --
Q Integrated?
A __ psychological issue, which is the family
practice,
Q Now, you had stated that you first saw Miss
Sheaffer in early October of 1993?
A Yes.
Q You had never met her before then?
A That's right,
Q And you began to see her on a regular basis in
March 1994?
A That's correct.
Q Why did she come to you? Do you know?
A At that point because Dr. Hobbs retired and left
office.
Q And how long had she been a patient of -- of
20 Dr. Hobbs?
21 A I do not have that information.
22 Q Do you have the records from when she was a
23 patient of Dr, Hobbs?
24 A Wait a second. I could give you a rough idea
) 25 here. There are notes from '91 to ' 93, If if her -- I

29
have reason to believe that she became a patient of Dr. Hobbs
in 1991,
Q And you're basing that on what?
A On office notes, old records from Dr. Hobbs.
Q All right. The notes from Dr. Hobbs, have you
reviewed those recently?
A No,
Q When did you last review them?
A Probably on her first visit,
Q Okay.
A First visit to me.
Q So that the record is clear, could you please just
list the dates of every time that you saw her and see that you
have the dates?
A That I saw her?
Q Yes.
A I saw her on 10/8/93 and 10/11/93. At that time
she was still a patient of Dr. Hobbs. I then started to see
her on 3/2/94, 3/9/94, 3/23/94, 6/8/94, 8/16/94, 10/11/94,
4/7/95, 5/10/95, 10/12/95, 1/29/96.
Q Now, do you know whether those were regularly
scheduled? In other words, do you regularly schedule patients
so that when, for example, when she left from one .- from one
appointment would she have scheduled another one at that time?
A It would have -- yes.
30
~,.-
1 Q All right. So they were regularly scheduled?
2 A They were regularly scheduled.
3 Q And did not have anything really to do with any
4 problem in particular, other than if it was a nonregularly
5 scheduled appointment?
6 A That's right, Those were routine maintenance
7 checks.
S Q When you saw her on those occasions, what would
9 have been the length of the visits?
10 A I don't wear a watch. I use what time I need. I
11 do not have a time schedule, although patients are booked
12 every 15 minutes. There are times when I run behind. There
l3 are times when I run ahead. But the patient gets what time
14 they need.
15 Q So you're not in a position to say what length of
16 time she was with you on any of those particular visits?
17 A That's right, I am not in a position to do that.
lS Q Were any of those visits specifically set up or
19 scheduled by anyone, Mrs. Sheaffer or her sons or daughter,
20 for these express purposes of determining whether she had
21 sufficient capacity to continue alone?
22 A No.
23 Q Now, you had stated that over time you noticed she
24 was more absentminded, and I think in April of 1995 you made
25 the notation that she seems rather confused, but you had not
31
1
2
3
4
5
other than that made any notations about being absentminded.
So my question would be were there any other times that you
made those observations and noted them?
A No, If -- if that's the only time that it's
written down, that's the only time that I noted them.
6 Q Okay.
7 A I - - again, what's your definition of noted?
S Q Written in your notes.
9 A Written in my notes, yes, those are the only
10 times.

Q All right. And you had also said at one point, I
believe, that if you had noticed something abnormal you would
have noted it in your notes?
A For the most part, yes.
Q Okay,
A It is possible that in the course of discussion
with Tom that the topic came up, maybe as a potential or a
risk factor, and it was not indicated on the paper.
Q It's possible but you don't know?
A It's possible but I don't know.
Q All right. I believe that you had indicated that
between April of 1995 and October of 1995 she had an office
visit, and I think you said it was in 6/95, so June; is that
correct?

MS. MACDONALD-MATTHES: It was May '95.
BY MR, SHULTZ;,
Q I'm sorry, it was May '95?
A Yes.
Q Was there a visit between April 1995 and October
1995?
A Yes, there was May '95,
Q What was that visit for? Was that a routine visit
9 also?
10 A No, it was not. It was ahead of her schedule. It
11 was because of a bruise that had appeared to the right side of
12 her head.
13 Q All right. That was not the bruise that Tom had
14 attributed to her falling getting her paper; is that correct?
15 Is that the paper?
16 A Yes, that is the same one.
l7 Q All right. In the visit from August of 1994 you
lS had stated that she did not know why she was there. Your
19 answer also was that Tom implied she was having trouble?
20
21
22
23
24
25
A Yes.
Q Could you tell me what you mean when you use the
word implied there?
A He said he was having more and more difficulty
keeping track of her and her medicines.
Q Did he state why he was having that trouble?

A No, he did not; or if he did I didn't write it
down.
Q You said that at that time you had no notice that
she had any kind of hygiene problems?
A Right,
Q But he had said that she did?
A
That's correct.
Q And she said that she didn't know why she was
here?
A That's correct,
Q Was it possible there really wasn't a reason for
her to be here?
A On which visit are you talking about?
Q On August 1994,
A That would have been her routine check.
Q
So it was possible that she was simply there
17 well, for the -- it was routine check?
lS A That's correct, That's right.
19 Q So that's why she was there?
20 A That was a maintenance check,
21 Q But she had nothing that was wrong with her other
22 than routine things that you could see at that time? You
23 didn't make any notations?
24 A Well, her weight was still falling. This is
25 August.
34
1 Q Right, right. August '94?
2 A You're in August of ' 94 .
3 Q Okay.
4 A Her weight was still falling.
S Q What was the recommended course of treatment afte
6 that visit or as a result of that visit?
7 A We drew her blood to check on her medications. We
8 were not going to change anything and we were going to check
9 her again in two months' time,
10 Q As far as the weight loss, is that, I know you ha
11 said that every case is unique and there's no common thread
12 between cases, but do you notice weight loss in older people
13 commonly?
14
A
Do I notice weight loss in older people commonly?
15 No.
16 Q All right. So it's not -- weight loss you never
17 attribute to the fact that people are getting older?
lS A That's correct. Can I qualify that?
19 Q Sure.
20 A If I see weight loss in a person who is elderly,
21 whatever elderly means, there is always an explanation for
22 it. There are -- there are several things on the list that
23 of explanations, which could include improper medication, new
24 medical problems developing, tumors which are not seen or that
25 are getting started, poor eating habits, or the inability to
35
r'
)
'-'
provide for oneself,
Q In Miss Sheaffer's case what did you ever
determine was the cause of the weight loss?
A I was able to determine that it was not her
medication and that it was not a list of certain medical
problems that were popping up,
Q All right, So you ruled out certain things?
A I ruled out certain things.
Q And leaves any reason .- number of reasons for it?
A Yeah, there still could have been several other
reasons for it.
Q And there was never a definite determination?
A That's correct.
Q In october of 1995 you say you had a long talk
with the family about placement in some type of institutional
care; is that right?
A Yes.
Q Do your notes indicate or do you remember who was
present at that meeting?
A I do not, I do not know specifically,

Q Um-hum, but --

A That would imply that the son was the one that I
was talking to,
Q All right, So when you're saying family, you're
simply saying Tom or -- I'm sorry --
5 A Yes.
6 Q - - the son. Now, which son was it? Do you?
7 A I don't know that.
S Q All right. All right.
9 A I just say son. If she has more than one son it
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
could have been anybody,
Q All right, So as far as you know it was only one
son?
A Yes, as far as I know it was only one son,
Q The result of that, as we now know, was that she
was not institutionalized at that time?
A That's correct.
17 Q But you don't know whether whoever you talked wit
lS took it up with the rest of the family?
19 A That -- I do not know that.
20 Q Did you advocate that position fairly strongly to
21 that person?
22 A Yes.
23 Q Now, you -- you at no time did any test to confi
24 an age-related dementia, I think you had said that?

Q Did you make a diagnosis at any time of dementia
of any type?
A She has a diagnosis of confusion written on her
problem list. It is -- it is there, It is not termed
dementia.
Q Right.
A We -- we're going to get stuck in terms. But
there is a term listed on her problem list.
Q There was an observation of confusion?
A Yes.
Q Was there any determination made as to what was
causing that dementia?
A In terms of brain scans or .-
Q I'm sorry. Causing the confusion, in terms of
anything that would have been used to determine an illness or
any type of underlying physiological problem causing the
confusion?
1B A Okay. The most likely possibilities were tested
19 through the blood
20 Q All right.
21 A - - and were ruled out.
22 Q And those would have been what?
23 A Sugar problems, metabolic problems that would
24 throw the blood count off, or medication imbalances,

Q
Okay.

2 Q
3 A
4 Q

38
The lesser likely causes were not tested,
And those would have been?
Brain tumor, strokes, things like that.
Physiological type problems?
Yes.
Okay.
Physiolog -- I don't know what you mean by that
9 Q I'm using it in a laymen's context. If you'll
10 educate me I'd appreciate it.
11 A Those are less .- those are significantly less
12 common statistically and so they were not tested for because
13 there were no other evidence making them a suspicion.
14 Q Are there different -- does the medical professio
15 identify different types of dementia?
16 A Does the medical profession define different types
17 of dementia? Yes.
18 Q What is the variation in those types? What -- wh
19 are there different types?
20 A You're asking me to speak for the medical
21 profession or are you asking
22 Q As you understand it.
23 A Are you asking me to --
24 Q As you understand it.
25 A speak for myself?
,
w
-'.-- ..
39
1 Q As you understand it.
2 A The more I learn there are many, many types.
3 There is probably you have -- there's a dementia of multiple
4 infarcts, multiple stroke dementia, There is this thing
5 called Alzheimers disease which is bandied about incorrectly
6 by most physicians. There is toxic dementia; people are sick
7 from something, it may be medication or it may be other
S things. I have seen dementia caused by food allergy, so it
9 could be a food allergy dementia, I have -- I have not found
10 one yet, but I know that there is dementia caused by
11 deficiency of nutrients.
12 Now, the general medical population would not
13 particularly pay attention to those kinds of dementi as , They
14 would just as soon label it as senile dementia and forget the
15 rest because then their hands have been washed of obligation.
16 It's one of my pet peeves with the medical so --
17 system. But I do have to admit that going through all those
lS steps to properly diagnose you're still left with the very
19 limited scope of what you can do about it. So you may have
20 gone through a lot of steps, time, effort, and expense to come
21 to the same end point.
22 Q So because of the fact that you can't really do
23 much about most of these types of dementias you were talking
24 about, you don't necessarily pursue a vigorous diagnosis of
25 the same?
40
1
A
That is true. And it is true the older an
2 individual gets.
3 Q Is it possible that dementias are reversible?
4 A I think that some of them can be, especially if
5 they are related to toxic reactions, But if it's a
6 nutritional deficiency or heavy metal -- for example,
7 Alzheimers is thought to be related to aluminum -- or if it's
S a dementia caused by multiple tiny mini strokes that add up
9 over time, there's nothing that can be done for those things.
10 Q But with Mrs. Sheaffer's -. and you never made --
11 I'll clarify this, You never made a diagnosis of dementia,
12 you simply called it confusion?
13 A That's right. It was called confusion. I did not
14 use the term dementia.
15 Q Without knowing really what caused that confusion,
16 are you not in a position at this point to say that it was
17 temporary, it was reversible, it was maybe not a dementia as
lS recognized in the Physicians' Desk Reference or whatever othe
19 manuals that are available?
20 A Would you rephrase that?
21 Q Because you really are not in a position to say
22 what was causing the confusion, you're also not in a position
23 to say that it was permanent, that it was irreversible, that
24 it was anything more than temporary in terms of her confusion?
25 A That's right,

Q In talking about the brain scan, you had made a
statement which I'm still not quite sure of. You said you
rarely find what you're not looking for. The converse of that
would be you usually find what you are looking for?
A Yes.
Q If you had done a brain scan would you not have
known what you were looking for in her case?
A If I would have done a brain scan I would have
expected to hear the report of dilated ventricles and perhaps
several small infarcts, mini strokes, and overall diminished
white matter in the brain consistent with aging.
Q So that's something that commonly occurs with
aging?
A Yes.
Q
A
I knew there was something common about that,
Yes, that
Q I seem to have some of that myself,
A Yes.
Q Would you refer, please, to your notes of May
1995? And you said she was here because of a bruise. You sa
you thought that happened on Monday evening. What day was she
in?
A Well, I don't know the date, It was the lOth of
May, '95, Let me see if I have a calendar, I don't. I don't

if she was in on -- I really shouldn't answer that.
Q Well, okay. Let me just answer that. What day
was that in May of '95, the day that she was in?
A On this calendar?
Q No. On your notes?
A On my note was 5/10/95,
Q And I assume then --
MS. MACDONALD-MATTHES: Off the record.
(A discussion was held off the record.)
BY MR. SHULTZ;.
Q I would assume that the Monday evening then would
have been the eighth. Would that be a correct assumption?
A Sounds right to me.
Q All right, And she appeared with her son. Does
your notes indicate that?
A Yes.
Q Was he the one who found the bruise? Do you have
any indication of that?
A I do not know when he noticed it. I don't know
that.
21 Q And your notes for that meeting say that her
22 memory was poor, but you don't know the specific questions
23 that you asked her or her answers?
24 A That is correct.
25 Q When Attorney MacDonald asked you whether you
43
1 noticed over the course of your treatment from April of 1994
2 until October -- or I'm sorry -- January of 1995, whether you
3 noticed a decrease in her capacity for reasoning, and you had
4 indicated yes --
5 A Until January of '96.
6 Q I'm sorry, January of '96?
7 A Yes, I do -- in recalling the case, I do see a
S progressive deterioration of mental function,
9 Q But, in fact, that did not occur through the
10 entire course of your treatment; in fact, it only began in, I
11 think, May of 1995 is when you had stated that
12 MS. MACDONALD-MATTHES: Objection. I believe it's
13 been asked and answered, but go ahead and answer.
14 THE DEPONENT: My recollection is that that's the
15 first time that it was noted, not necessarily first time it's
16 been observed.
17 BY MR. SHULTZ:
lS Q That's sufficient then. Do you believe on the
19 basis of your observations that Ms. Sheaffer would be
20 incapable of voicing preferences, for example, as to where she
21 might want to go on any given day, whether she'd want to go t
22 the store, what she might want to have for breakfast?
23 A I -- I don't have enough evidence to answer that.
24 Q Fair enough. Miss Sheaffer's currently living
25 with her daughter in Minnesota?
~.~
44
1
A
Urn-hum.
2 Q The setting for her residence at this point is
3 obviously in a home with various family members --
4 A Urn-hum.
5 Q -- living, being there. Given that type of
6 environment, would it be possible that her condition may
7 improve from a setting where there were no family members,
S simply visitors?
9 A I can't argue the question. Yes, it is
10 conceivably possible.
11 Q All right. You are -- are you familiar with the
12 living conditions that she had here in Pennsylvania?
13 A Only that she lived alone.
14 Q So that you are stating then that going from
15 living alone to a situation where there are people around for
16 the most part who she would know and would love would -- coul
17 generate an improvement in her confusion condition?
lS MS. MACDONALD-MATTHES: Can we qualify the
19 question? Is it would or -- I don't believe he said would. I
20 don't want there to be could we clarify the question? Are
21 you asking could it change or would it change?
22 MR. SHULTZ: Could, could.
23 MS. MACDONALD-MATTHES: And could it change what?
24 Can we be a little bit more -- her physical condition? Mental
2S condition? What are we referring to?
45
~
1 MR. SHULTZ: We're referring to the confusion. I
2 don't think we ever really did put a finger on that. but let's
3 refer to the confusion,
4 THE DEPONENT: If you are limiting your criterion
5 of improvement to her confusional state, again, I would have
6 to ask -- answer the question that conceivably possibly yes,
7 it could, Is it likely? No, But that would also impart that
S whoever is living with her was doing all the grocery shopping
9 and that she was getting top notch nutrition,
10 BY MR. SHULTZ:
11 Q Okay,
12 A But we're still looking at the statistical
13 probability.
14 Q But then you have no knowledge of what her diet 0
15 nutrition was previously? You simply said she was living
16 alone?
17 A That's right, She was living by herself and her
lS meals were her own responsibility.
19 Q I assume, Dr. Sullivan, that you've been involved
20 with other adjudications of this type. Could you tell us
21 briefly just how many?
22 A Actually this is the first time I've ever been
23 caught up in such a dispute over this kind of an issue to the
24 point where I have been deposed.
25 Q So you've never testified on behalf -- or on
46
~
1 behalf of any parties in an incapacity hearing?
2 A Not to this extent. I've given -- I've written
3 letters which were then used in the decision-making process.
4 Q All right, So you've never actually testified?
5 A I've never been deposed like this, no,
6 MR. SHULTZ: I have nothing further,

S REDIRECT EXAMINATION
9
10 BY MS, MACDONALD-MATTHES:
11 Q Just a few quick questions. I know you're busy,
12 There was some questions during cross examination as to your
13 notes, Is it your habit to write everything down that you
14 observe about a patient or do you sometimes just make your
15 observations and treat the patient?
16 A It is my habit to write down that which I think is
17 of major significance. There are many times that things are
lS observed and reacted to which are not written down.
19 Q The fact that they're not written down does not
20 negate the attention that you pay to it at the time?
21 A That's correct,
22 Q So perhaps if you noted that someone was confused,
23 although it wasn't of a severe nature, you would still
24 nonetheless observe that they were confused, is that what
25 you're saying?

A Yes, yes. I could -- theoretically I could make
an observation, react to it, and not write it down in the
notes.
Q Would you say that happens frequently, that things
do not get written down in the notes?
A Oh, yes, That's a time issue,
Q And your concern is treating the patient?
A That's right.
Q Not necessarily quality of the notes?
A I'm here for the patient. I'm not here for the
notes. I'm here for the patient.
Q Now, the question was asked of you concerning
whether or not her confusion was temporary or permanent?
A That's correct.
Q And you were asked whether or not you -- I think
it was put to you that you were not able to make that
determination because you had not performed certain
evaluations?
A That's right,
Q Your opinion, though, that you have rendered in
this case to date
A Yes.
Q __ __ is based on what? Is it based on your
evaluation of Patricia Sheaffer as well as your experience in
the field of family practice and treating?

A Yes, that's what I'm basing my .- my opinions on,
Q And you did perform, for lack of a better word,
would you say a field examination?
A Yes.
Q And based on your continual treatment and this
field evaluation that you did perform on Patricia Sheaffer,
this is what you've based your opinion on that she is
incapacitated?
A Yes,
Q And during the course of time that you have
occasion have had occasion to treat her -- I just wanted t
clarify -- did you know her ability to make decisions? Did
she __ was she having difficulty making decisions at any time?
A The specific tests for making decisions I don't
think was done. The overall global assessment was poor, whic
would -- which would, if you did then have a poor global
assessment and then went to do the specific decision-making
testing, you would -- with a poor -- with a poor global
assessment, you would find poor decision making.
Q And did patricia Sheaffer have a poor global
assessment?
A Yes, she had a poor global assessment.
Q And in light of that poor global assessment, a
mere change in environment, that being her living arrangement,
would not correct that ability to make decision?

MR, SHULTZ: I believe he said it was possible but
not --
THE DEPONENT: It is possible.
MR, SHULTZ: -- likely,
THE DEPONENT: If her nutrition is cared for and
other things into that factor, it is conceivable.
BY MS. MACDONALD-MATTHES:
Q But how likely?
A Poor.
Q And it is your opinion that she needs someone to
care for her person?
A Yes.
Q As well as for her financial situation?
A Yes.
MS. MACDONALD-MATTHES: I have nothing further.
RECROSS EXAMINATION
BY MR. SHULTZ;.
Q Just one question relating to what counsel asked
you. She said, I believe, it's possible that you could make
an observation, react to it in treating the patient, and not
make a notation in your notes?
A That's correct.
Q Your answer was yes, that's possible. Can you sa
so
1 with any degree of certainty that you did that in this case?
2
A
Oh, I knew Pat very well, And yes, I can say wit
3 certainty that I did that in this case.
4
Q
So you saw indications of confusion and didn't
5 necessarily note it?
6
A
That's correct.
7
Q
But you couldn't specify when you saw those?
B
A
That is correct,
9
MR. SHULTZ: All right. Nothing further.
10
(A discussion was held off the record.)
11
THE DEPONENT: The only other thing that I can
12 offer you in helping you to put this together is that when she
13 came with her records from the hospitalization in Minnesota,
14 they were a fair -- they were fairly complete set of notes.
15 And it ._ in those notes, which I believe dated January '93,
16 there is a note that she had reduced recent memory. Now
17 that's all I have. So even at that time in Minnesota she was
lS having memory problems.
19 BY MR. SHULTZ:
20
Q
Would you provide us with copies of those?
21
A
Sure.
22
MR. SHULTZ: Thanks,
23
MS, MACDONALD-MATTHES: Do you want those attache
24 as exhibit or just copies?
25
MR, SHULTZ: Just copies.

any other members of peti tioner' s or the alleged
incapacitated person's family prior to her actions or
about March 26 or March 27, 1996. In addition, over
the past two (2) years, Mary Patricia Downing has
taken large sums of cash from her mother, the alleged
incapacitated person, for her own personal use and
has never repaid her mother for the same.

who resides at 106 Locust Way, Carlisle, Cumberland
County, pennsylvania.
13. The proposed guardian of the person is forty
two (42) years of age.
14. The proposed guardian of the estate of the

or David Jon McKim Sheaffer.
11

attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "A".
17. No other Court has ever assumed jurisdiction
in any proceedings to determine the capacity of the
alleged incapacitated person.
18. No other guardian has been appointed for the
estate of the alleged incapacitated person.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that
this Honorable Court award a Citation directed to
patricia Smith Sheaffer, the alleged incapacitated
12
person, and to such other person's as this Court may
direct to show cause why Patricia Smith Sheaffer
should not be adjudged a fully incapacitated person
and David Jon McKim Sheaffer be appointed guardian of
her person and Thomas Scott Sheaffer and/or David Jon

Re: Estate of Patricia Smith Sheaffer
No. 21-96-298
Dear Judge Hess:
As per your request, I am enclosing herewith a copy of our
proposed Order in regard to the above referenced incapacity
proceeding. I have corresponded with Thomas Shultz, Esquire,
counsel for Patricia Sheaffer, and provided him with a copy of my
proposed Order. Mr. Shultz has indicated to me the changes that he
wished to see incorporated and with the exception of one, I have
duly incorporated Mr. Shultz's changes in this proposed Order.
The area that Mr. Shultz and I disagree on is with regard to
the appointment of a guardian for the person of Patricia Smith
Sheaffer which is set forth in Paragraph 2 of the proposed Order.
As I indicated during the course of the hearing, it is our position
that Mrs. Sheaffer is in fact in need of a guardian of the person.
I believe that the Court itself noted Mrs. Sheaffer's need for a
guardian of her person at the conclusion of the hearing. In order
to avoid having the parties have to appear before this Court at a
later point in time to have a specific person named as the guardian
of the person, it is our position that John McKim Sheaffer,
Patricia Sheaffer's youngest son, should be appointed as her
guardian. Mr. Sheaffer submitted his Consent along with the
Petition which we filed ill this matter and which has been made part
of the record in this case.
It is my understanding that Mr. Shultz will be corresponding
with you independently to let you know of his opposition to the
appointment of a guardian of Mrs. Sheaffer's person at this time.
As stated earlier herein, it is our position that in the best
interest of Mrs. Sheaffer, as well as in the interest of jUdicial
economy, a guardian of her person should be named at this time.

RE: Patricia Sheaffer
To Whom It May Concern:
Patricia Sheaffer is a patient of mine who has consistently
appeared in my office in a very confused state for the past two
years.
In my opinion, as her physician, she is no longer able to handle
routine activities of daily living independently, nor be
responsible for financial transactions. In addition. I feel she
may be at risk in both the areas of personal health and in
jeopardy of being taken advantage of financially.
