“No, no, and no. They go after the man who leaked the documents,”
Just following ordèrs. No soul, no conscience...perfect.
My wife is a psychiatrist and patients like this are her greatest fear.
She is liable as it is medical malpractice to not commit a person who expresses a desire to harm themselves or others.
I’ve attended legal seminars on this topic put on by the malpractice insurance attorneys. It’s even hard for a Dr. to protect themselves from the family suing them when a patient commits suicide.
Her therapists have big liability exposure.
“But what does the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation do though?”
Mimic the Federal Bureau of Investigation...under democrats. They’ll do whatever they are ordered to do up to and including arresting their mothers.
A psychiatrist can’t even stop seeing a patient for non-payment or they are liable for the patient’s actions. They must make sure that another professional sees the patient before rejecting them.
I know several of the psychiatrists at Vanderbilt. They are really good.
The problem is usually psychologists who cannot practice medicine and often cross the line.
It’s often hard to convince a liberal psychologist that they cannot fix hormone imbalances with “talk therapy.”
on the radar is the phrase I believe.
and what point does it become aiding and abetting?
I have a good friend who is a Clinical Psychologist, he lets his patients know that if they pose a serious threat to themselves and others, he is obligated by the law to let law enforcement know.
They’re always already known to law enforcement, the school, the CIA, etc. Need I go on?
“You can’t take synthetic cross-sex hormones without suffering serious mental issues, and here’s a censored truth: almost all (or all of them entirely, depending on who you’re asking) school shooters are eventually found to have been “hypermedicated,” specifically on SSRIs or barbiturates”
The author conflates cause and effect. People with gender dysphoria (thus tracked into cross-sex hormones, etc.), and psychotics with violent intentions are mentally ill BEFORE they see doctors, etc., or take psychiatric meds. The meds help many but not all, and they do not “cure” the underlying problems, just try to make the patient somewhat functional.
In some cases perhaps the drugs make things worse (especially when taken improperly or inconsistently, as often happens unless a competent, responsible person has strict control over the patients).
Psychiatrists and other therapists can try to help psychotics, but expecting a 100% success rate is itself delusional. For every nut who actually acts on the violent thoughts they have divulged, there are thousands who say similar things but never act on them at all. Our legal system is not geared up to prevent crime, only react to it, and our mental health system is not geared to locking up every potential threat. If we want to change that, it will require hundreds of billions of dollars and massive diminution of civil liberties.
Again, more proof the mental hospitals closed in the 1970s need to be reopened and these crazies locked up. When closed in the 1970s Mass Murders took off like a rocket.
Semi auto rifles have been around since 1903, so how come we rarely had mass killings (except between criminal gangs) before the 1970s.
I can remember THREE with crazies before the 1970s.
Howard Unruh, 1949 with a Luger pistol.
Richard Speck 1966 who murdered 8 student nurses with a knife. No guns involved.
Charles Whitman in 1966 with a bolt action hunting rifle.
