SUPPLEMENT/CONTINUATION

Ms. Brennan: Okay. Uh, when the patient was brought to me, urn, she was placed into a bed and she was asked several questions. Urn, I’d like to mention that uh, this patient kept her eyes closed. Her language was very monotone. She would open her eyes on command. She knew where she was at. She

just wanted people to think that she was crazy, that’s why she had

walked naked. Urn, she was just looking for attention and she did not want to be arrested. Urn, at that time I completed a triage form which is a standard form that we fill out for anybody that walks into our emergency department either by EMS or by a walk-in. An, just asked her some basic questions about her mental status, previous medical history,

all which she claimed had been negative. Urn, she was naked so she was draped in a, in one of our gowns from EMS - they had given her a gown. Uh, like I stated, she kept her eyes closed, but she would open them on command when I had asked her to. She talked like this and she was very, very short with her answers and did not give any information unless I asked her a question. Urn, at that time Dr. Lovett, our emergency physician who was on that night, he came over to the bedside and we had talked about what had happened with her. Urn, he went

ahead and spoke with her. I stood with him. He did a physical exam on the patient. Urn, I couldn’t give you the time frame but Dr. Lovett had suggested we have a psychiatric evaluation on her, since her behavior was inappropriate. At that time, there was one person at her bedside that came, I’d say about ten minutes after EMS brought her. Frequently

with a Scientologist, they normally come in with a liaison. At that time one member of Scientology, the church of Scientology, was there. She had stated to me that this was against her religion, that psychiatric consult and evaluation. Dr. Lovett was made aware at that time. He. went ahead and spoke with this woman and still felt that her actions were inappropriate and she does need to be evaluated for her mental

status.

believe in it.
