Why would you assume she was not under the care of a psychiatrist?

I am curious as to who initially prescribed psych meds for her, bet it wasn’t a psych.

If your statement about 12 meds is correct, I have a hard time imagining any OB or PCP prescribing that many, or going through that many combinations, without referring to a psychiatrist.

Yes she was under a psych’s care later on, but I am talking initially. When did she first begin psych meds ever? And who prescribed them and why? I am betting it was either a pcp or obgyn, and I have a major issue with this. How long was she taking psych meds before she ever even saw a psych? Months? Years? Who initially diagnosed her with a mental illness to warrant taking these meds?

Sounds like you have no idea how hard it is to get into a psychiatrist. The wait times are unbelievable. It is often a gift that a PCP or OBGYN issues a prescription.

And it’s doubtful that it was 12 at once. There were probably different cocktails of medication that involved some small number of medications.

Yes, I am well aware how difficult it is. Anyone other than a psych should not be handing these meds out, especially to people without a psych diagnosis.

She will be arraigned on Tuesday afternoon via Zoom. Her lawyer did not say she was paralyzed but that “she’s not walking out of the hospital”. They are recommending she be released to either her parents with GPS tracker or to Spaulding (which is a chi-chi rehab facility) rather than a women’s prison. She also hasn’t been able to see her husband or parents and is under 24/7 police guard. Initial thought is that the defense will be involuntary intoxication due to the drug mix, rather than postpartum psychosis.

Well I doubt she had PPP. She still needs to be held accountable regardless, and as an RN I would have thought she’d be more aware of potential med interactions/contraindications, MDs aren’t always correct, she was fairly young and inexperienced though and probably all of her friends are taking some sort of psych med. Everyone seems to be nowadays. Also many school shooters were found to be on SSRIs just remember that.

Sheis a college educated woman in her 30s! That's not "young and inexperienced!"

We have specialists for a reason, psych meds aren’t the only meds being improperly prescribed by PCPs and obgyns. Would you want your pcp or obgyn prescribing a cancer med? Or performing a transplant surgery? Or trying to perform a root canal? Or prescribing autoimmune therapy? Or diabetes meds having never seen an endocrinologist? No. So why are psych meds any different?

She’s been a nurse for what? 10 years? An L&D nurse at that. She is inexperienced and seemingly naive.

This is unacceptable. She murdered three children. She needs to be remanded to a state mental hospital to await trial if she cannot be in jail pending trial.

That is highly unlikely and seems the attorney is playing games.

Or she was mixing previously prescribed meds that should have been dumped. Perhaps she even took a little marijuana to help her relax.
It's seeming ppp is not going to be a valid defense so now this is what they're going with.

I will be very interested to see how this ends

That doesn't prevent her from being held at a mental hospital.

Try placing her in a mental hospital capable of caring for a quadriplegic. She will require a nursing home.

So? Do you believe that people with paralysis aren’t in jail?

Anything to victimize a whit lady. She's a fully grown woman in her 30s who killed her kids. Not only was she an Land D nurse which takes training and skill. She was a nurse midwife which is additional training. And in the state of MA nurse midwifes can prescribe so she knew a thing or two about medication

Jail maybe but not mental hospitals, they would probably be in long term care facilities or home.

She wasn’t even a midwife and I am certain not excusing her.
