Uh...I'm not sure you should link the two situations just yet. What you suggest may well indeed be true, but have all of the facts regarding the hospital come out yet? For example, from reading the trial notes this morning, I found this item. It's from Yates' psychiatrist: "A medical chart note on Aug. 18, 1999, the day Starbranch (Yate's psychiatrist) gave the advice, reads: 'Apparently patient and husband plan to have as many babies as nature will allow!' the psychiatrist wrote. ' ''This will surely guarantee future psychotic depression.' '' However, I couldn't find anywhere in the notes verification that Starbranch was employed with the hospital. If so, at least one mental health professional there had a clue. > It's > also interesting that beliefs about the devil are prominent in > both cases. A case of a psychiatrist projecting onto the patient? I've known at least a few that had horns and a pitchfork.
