want a “psychiatrist or psychologist” talking to Lisa. At that point, I assured them and Dr. Lovett assured them that I was not a psychologist or a psychiatrist
that I was a registered nurse and I just wanted to talk to Lisa.
|
Det. Sudler:
|
Okay. And how was Lisa’s feelings toward that at that
|
point? Was she privileged to this conversation too?
|
Price:
|
I don’t believe that she heard that conversation.
|
|
Det. Sudler:
|
Okay. That was done with them separate from Lisa?
|
|
Det. Sudler:
|
Okay. When you talked to Lisa, how did you introduce
|
yourself to her?
|
Price:
|
I always introduce myself to patients as “Hello, my
|
name is Joe Price..
.
I’m a registered nurse in
psychiatry”. And that’s.. .that’s how I present myself. Det. Sudler: Was she receptive to that?
|
Price:
|
She was kinda passive. Umm.
.
.again I.. .she’s laying
|
in the bed..
.
I come over to her righthand side and stand next to her looking down on her.
. .
looking in her face trying to get some eye contact.
|
Det. Sudler:
|
Okay. But by the mere mention of the word “psychiatry”,
|
she didn’t.. .you know.. .balk at your.
.
.you know... assessment of her or didn’t give you any.
.
.you know.. belief that she didn’t want you to do an assessment of her?
|
Det. Sudler:
|
Okay. At anytime did anybody try to.
.
.you know...
|
intercede on her behalf during your evaluation?
|
Price:
|
They did not answer questions for her while I was
|
|
talking to her. I remember the young lady who
|
introduced herself as a member of the church and
|
she was just dressed in regular street clothes.
|
But I remember she introduced herself as a member.
