Health Desk

You might not recognize me, I said, but I was the psychiatrist in the ER a few weeks ago. I was the psychiatrist who evaluated her at that time and cleared her for discharge.

It was only then, after a thorough assessment and collaborative treatment planning, that I cleared her for discharge. She said she was no longer feeling suicidal, was engaged in her care, and had a solid follow-up plan.

She told me her preference was to enroll in a detox program she had already signed up for. Her defense argued that the health care system failed her.

The prosecution argued that the murders were premeditated.
