Abstract
The case of Harvey Cushing's historical patient, Minnie G, is now closed. Recent investigation has succeeded in identifying her, locating her death certificate, and finding her family. Information learned about the patient's personality is consistent with Cushing's assertion that her syndrome, although ameliorated, was persistent. The cause of her Cushing's syndrome remains unknown.
