Q.
Would it have made a difference?,
A.
Well, if I had known that it was something - -
she felt like something was “off” with it -- or Patrick, I
think, also made a similar statement - - we could have done
something with it.
But, like, in interviewing, even, the --
interviewing Rita afterwards the last couple days, Rita
thought she was actually improving, until the last
twenty-four hours.
 
Q.
Mm-hmm.
And you also made a statement earlier that the
reason for your reports - - basically, your reason for
these interviews was to protect the people you were
interviewing from or
-- the people you were interviewing
or the people that were with Lisa, from whatever disease
it was that Lisa had, right? Is that what you
--
 
A.
It wasn’t to protect them. If they had -- if
she had spinal meningitis, the thought behind it was that
they needed to be isolated, one, so if they have it,
they’re not walking around the base, because we have
fifteen hundred other people there, and it’s a contagious
disease.
 
Q.
So basically, that was the sole reason for your
report?
 
A.
Right.
