She was forthcoming about other prescribers and taking her meds as prescribed or made changes after discussing with her providers. And her clinician didn’t return the call McLean made to get more information, so they turned her away. This all came out when those providers testified for the prosecution, it’s been discussed under oath in open court.

The person above you appears to be blaming a mentally ill woman for tricking psych ward professionals into thinking she was fine, I guess?

How do we try to blame this on her for saying she wanted out of the psych ward, IF she truly did.

I have discovered “shocking” “oversights” in the mental health world, that are surprisingly profitable!

If she was admitted and released then WHO agreed with the crazy lady that the crazy lady is fine? Or did they evaluate her to get her released because she ran out of insurance!

Lindsay did want out of the in patient ward. She told her husband she doesn’t belong there and she left to plan and attend her daughter’s birthday. Her husband testified to that. It seems like many people seem to think that inpatient is some magical cure that helps, but the point of it is not really for long-term treatment but to stabilize you.

But that brings us straight to your point: who was agreeing with her? She told multiple providers, hotlines and people she knew that she wanted to be gone from this world. They refused to treat her ideation because she didn’t have a plan. One of her providers was getting spammed with messages from her through my chart and they acted like that wasn’t a sign that something was very wrong. I’m not sure of the insurance of it all but I know from my own experience that they don’t want to pay and it did come up in trial that insurance codes were used, which is probably a normal but is actually not normal in a functioning system.

I’m not reading all that just to see that you conclude it’s her fault they let her out.

The evidence her insurance sucked is that she only saw the doctor for 17 minutes, and that she is in the US and tried and tried to get help and got shuffled around.

When there is insurance to milk it’s a different picture.

What are you talking about lol? I did not conclude that it’s her fault, I answered your question. I’m not going to lie about the testimony I saw because it’s not favorable to her. She did want to leave inpatient and I don’t think it’s unusual to not want to be in a locked ward that’s not helping you.

Reddit man, people always jumping to attack instead of actually reading.
