On March 31 I was preparing to make vegetable soup when five men in blue uniforms, police and 3 EMT's came into my apartment and informed me they were taking me to the hospital against my will.
The doctor responsible for destroying my health had masterminded a plot so reprehensible it defies my ability to describe.
I was being forcefully removed from the safety of my home be committed to a psychiatric unit based on email I did NOT write, which described a bizarre plan to commit "public suicide" for the sole purpose of "destroying" this doctor.
I was subjected to what was, for me, an unspeakable trauma, forced to leave my elderly cocker spaniel alone, and only given a chance to dress by one of the kind EMT's whose compassion overruled the less than sensitive policeman who apparently was incapable of imagining his wife, sister or daughter being victimized in a similar manner. I rarely leave home, and then only for absolute necessities. Those who have followed my plight for years know of my increasing physical disability, as do people in my community who have witnessed the deterioration of my health since my surgery in Indianapolis eight years ago.
Based on an email I did NOT send, which was apparently fabricated for the specific purpose of having me locked up in a psych unit, I was detained for over 24 hours in a hospital ER, observed, then finally interviewed by a social worker for the Mass. Dept. of Mental Health who found I was NOT suicidal, in spite of the bogus email, whereupon he recommended to the psychiatrist who authorizes involuntary commitment, that I should allowed to go home. The MD, however, did not follow the advice of the social worker who actually talked with me. Instead, this MD, who pushes a pen for the State and probably never actually sees or evaluates patients in person, decided I was to be involuntarily committed.. all based on a LIE.. a phony email used by the very doctor whose surgery left me suffering from the moment I woke from anesthesia.
I was to wait in the ER until an available bed could be found, which would have been somewhere off Cape Cod. Meanwhile, my lawyer worked non stop and finally, an MD at the hospital interviewed me for over an hour and concluded that I was NOT suicidal. She overruled the decision of the doctor from Mass. DPH and I was finally allowed to return home. I was discharged without any "treatment plan" or recommendations because I am NOT suicidal, nor do I suffer from any "mental illness" as is alleged in the lawsuit. After reading these documents, you can decide for yourself just how far from reality this doctor and his lawyer are willing to go to silence the truth.
This plastic surgeon is intent on silencing me forever and preventing me from sharing my personal experience in a public venue. There are many more ugly details to this story, but the bottom line is this: I must find an attorney in Indiana to represent me before April 7.. only a few days away. This lawsuit is filled with the most heinous outright lies.. I do not have any money for an attorney and my voice will be silenced forever if I cannot get legal representation immediately.
