I don't know if there is an attorney, but I know this: State boards of Medicine are usually obliged by statute to investigate all complaints.

In order to be sued for malpractice, a lawyer has to be able to visualize some monetary gain. No (chance of a ) gain, no case.

State boards are different. If you write a letter to my board complaining that I am projecting thoughts into your head, they will, at a minimum, demand an explanation from me. (In such a frivolous example, I'm sure a single page letter from me would suffice).

But this is no frivolous matter. Proceeding a dangerousness evaluation, there must be a tentative diagnosis.Diagnosis follows from history, exam, and testing. No exceptions. Diagnosis without its predicates is at the diagnostician's risk, and the consequences of failure can be quite severe.

This perseveration by Dr. Lee is, at a minimum, prima facie unprofessional conduct, and it may be more than that.

According to the Connecticut State Department of Public Health license verification website, there is no "Bandy Lee" licensed as a physician in Connecticut. "Bandy X. Lee" is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine. She is listed as "voluntary faculty", which means she is not an employee and contributes time for no compensation. I don't know the Yale system, but in general this time could be one lecture a year or it could be two clinics a week. The link to her name says she practices in New Haven and is accepting new patients.

However, the Yale website also says she has a Master of Divinity degree and studied anthropology at NIMH, and that her appointment is in the "Law and Psychiatry Division", so it is possible that she is not practicing medicine and therefore would not need a license.

In any event, this behavior (she has a book coming out called "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump") crosses all sorts of lines familiar to any third-year medical student, and if it has not already been brought to the attention of the Connecticut Medical Examining Board, it should be.

Connecticut Department of Public Health
Practitioner Investigations Unit
410 Capitol Ave., MS# 12HSR
Hartford, CT 06134-0308

If you chose to inquire about this, please do not harass the Board with political opinions. This is a simple, factual matter of whether or not Dr. Lee has performed the necessary evaluation to allow her to express certain MEDICAL opinions. Of course, her POLITICAL opinions are her own business and as such are not likely to have any interest to the Board.
