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.

A case of a psychiatrist projecting onto the patient?  I've known at least a few
that had horns and a pitchfork.
