Recommended: Drugs for antidepression

SUBJECTIVE Mrs. Baker seen in MCCRC on 03/02/2018. She is eating her lunch and doing quite well. She has become much less of a nuisance to other residents, is not at all loud. Does not want into rooms nearly as frequently, it maybe because the ones that are most sensitive to this intrusion have left. She has been on Risperdal 0.25 in the morning, 2:00 p.m. and twice that dose at bedtime as well as a small dose of Depakote as a mood stabilizer. She is on ranitidine for GERD that had been problematic. She is not on an antidepressant that would account for better appetite. She has gained 2 pounds. On the negative side, her hemoglobin remains at 9.9 with an MCV of 104. Her TSH again was 0.05 and a free T4 was 1.6 with her upper limits

Goudge (2008) claimed that Smith, other medical experts and prosecutors operated with a “think dirty” mindset, which presumes guilt first, rather than the ‘innocent until proven guilty‘ doctrine highly valued in the justice system. “The Goudge Commission found the actual words ‘think dirty’ in instructions from Ontario’s chief coroners, pathologists and police chiefs in 1995” (Shapiro, 2011). In Ms. Marquardt’s case, there is no way to conceal the fact that the professionals of the adversarial system did not satisfactorily perform their roles.
