“....Fenton is the director of student mental health services at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, and an assistant professor, according to a resume posted on the school’s website.
As director, a position she’s held since 2009, Fenton sees between 15 and 20 graduate students per week for medication and psychotherapy, coordinates a team of four mental health clinicians, supervises some residents who treat students, and lectures. She also serves as a psychiatrist for between five and 10 patients, the resume states.
University spokeswoman Jacque Montgomery said Friday the school had no immediate comment.
Fenton has held many jobs over the years. She worked as a physician in private practice in Denver from 1994 to 2005, and was chief of physical medicine with the U.S. Air Force in San Antonio, Texas, in the early 1990s, according to the resume. Since 2008, she’s won various grants and contracts to study schizophrenia.”....
Sounds like she's overworked. Has too much on her plate thus is negligent. 20 graduate students plus 10 patients that's 30 hours. 10 hours left over for lectures supervising and coffee breaks. Then there's overtime work.
Her patients and students should be reevaluated by someone else just to make sure they are not becoming batty and over medicated.

CW: Do you get the feeling that her efforts may have been spread out? Are those the same 15-20 students, or are there eighty or so on a monthly rotation? There are lots of numbers here, which may lead to a lack of focus; maybe not.
And that is one reason I cited John Nash who though brilliant suffered from an onset of schizophrenia that destroyed his ability to do mathematics. I believe you and I are really on the same page. IF Holmes was being treated for a psychiatric disorder (and certainly schizophrenia is that) he was most likely on heavy duty psych tropic drugs....none of which are compatible with the ingestion of any amount of alcohol
