Abstract
Patients with florid psychosis are not always available to be interviewed for teaching purposes. In
this regard, resources on the web can prove useful. We sought to describe a case of psychosis,
available on the internet, which has potential as a teaching tool. The material identified included
hand written notes and audio recordings by a woman who subsequently murdered her son and
completed suicide. These materials were released by the police.The materials provide evidence of
bizarre delusions, auditory hallucinations and lack of insight. There is also a suggestion of a degree
of healthy functioning, insofar as one recording apologizes to the business where the murdersuicide
was later performed.The internet contains potential valuable patient materials that may be
used for teaching medical students.
