"Vets are not medicated by the docs in PTSD programs. They are only prescribed meds by docs in the hospitals. So, how good are the hospitals? This happened at a home for vets, not a medical center, not a hospital."

Psychologists evaluate and talk or listen to patients. Psychiatrists are doctors who prescribe drugs based on information from psychologists. Many psychiatrists prescribe drugs from small clinics or any place where psychologists work.

Those of us who are prior service should be running records checks on all individuals who are publicized in controversial stories, claim to be veterans and also say that they have "PTSD." It's obvious to some of us, that there are discrepancies in some of the related stories from news companies.

Just a possibility but, maybe staff kicked him out for faking. I don't think the VA or private shrinks have access to service records to debunk fake claims. If he was betting on a 100% VA disability rating for life at a payout over $3k a month and lost out because they kicked him out, that could trigger a revenge action. Maybe their clinical notes will pinpoint the reason, but revenge is one possibility.
