Annotated by Banting: 'Elsie Needham. In Oct. 1922 she entered H. S. C. in diabetic coma. She was the first child to recover from coma by the use of insulin.'
Elsie was admitted to the Hospital for Sick Children in a diabetic coma. She was treated with insulin by F.G. Banting and Dr. Gladys Boyd, head of the Hospital's new diabetic clinic. Elsie was revived from her coma, regained her strength, and had recovered sufficiently to be back at school in January.
