++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ JEANNETTE-MEYERS: Rest and relaxation sounds like a wonderful idea.

But the records say that two days into her stay she was spitting out food and vomiting, four days into her stay she was ashen faced and feverish, and then she became violent, striking the attendants, hallucinating, thinking that she's L. Ron Hubbard, being too weak to stand, soiling herself, crying, babbling, breaking things. At that point, isn't it clear that it's not working?

RINDER: What's not working?

-- CBS News "Public Eye" 1/7/98 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Here are some cult-written logs the cult surrendered to authorities during the investigation of the Lisa McPherson case. Perhaps it helps answer what "what" is.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FSO 00156 to: SNR C/S 18 Nov 95 >From Med. Off. Manager
2:45 P.M.

She had 1 1/2 cup Cal Mag, small bite of turkey & spagettie, 3/4 banana.

Lisa is talking since about 30 minutes:

* -"I created time 3 billion years ago and now I am dramatizing it since than." --"I am LRH and I didn't confront it because I didn't confront that power." --"I can't confront force. I am dramatizing it."

* -"I have an MU on the Student Hat." * -"I was 1.1. What my chronical tone level is." * -"I dessimiated my mother, but she didn't get handled. As I didn't confront force."

* -I want to dance. * -I need my auditor, Mr. Vatusinski. --I need to confront my mom.

3:15 P.M.

She is still talking, non stop. She tried to go out of the door.

[page break] FSO 00157 "I want to take the tooth brush and brush the floor until I have a cognition." She went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth.

RUSH RE Lisa McPherson This afternoon Lisa walked like a robote.

What is new: if she starts talking she talks and talks, than she stares at a spot;

She also tries to push buttons on me (what she never did before). She says I am her and she is controlling my body.

[xxxxxxx] In the evening she started starring in the light. I got her to eat a tuna sandwich, she also drank 2 cups of calmag and took all vitamins.

[xxxxxxx] She jumped up again and while I am writing this she is standing next to me, talking non sequiter things.

[page break] FSO 00159 She wanted to call her Minister. He has No 10. She called me Mom when she awoke this afternoon. She wants to go to a party.

[xxxxxxx] ---------------------------------------------------------------- FSO 00138 20/11/95 12:16 pm Lisa McPherson HOW MUCH HAS SHE SLEPT?

Looks like no sleep. Says goes for a nap, back up in 3 minutes.

When did she last eat? HOW MUCH?

Take a sip of water & spits it out. Bite of apple, bite of banana, spat them out.

Is she taking vitamins? Specifics No. Won't take anything.

Is she taking Cal Mag? How much?

Few sips, maybe 1/2 glass, last night.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- FSO 00160 20 Nov 95 To SNR C/S >From Med. Off. Manager RE LISA MCPHERSON
1:50 PM Lisa did not really sleep last night, but jumping out of her bed.

Susann Reid had to get her lay down again and again.

Today she slept 1/2 hour. She is still trying to look in the lightbulbs. "You have to follow the light, as light is live."

She doesn't talk that much as we do not talk with her.

She is counting with her fingers, pointing somewhere.

When I gave her a cup of water she through it on the floor. "Did this frighten you?" "No, I don't think so," she said.

3 times when Emma or me gave her a piece of banana she put it in a way in her mouth that she vomitt it out.

Last night I made her drink 1 cup of calmag and to took 1 B1, the 2nd cup and 2nd B1, she vomitted out.

She has difficulties even to swallow a bit of water. She got 2 sip of protein drink down.

Right now she is again jumping out of the bed over and over.

Re: Report on Lisa McPherson Dear Sir, Lisa slept about 8 hours or more. I arrived on the watch at 1:00 AM and she was sleeping -- She has been waking up for some short period of time (like 15 seconds) and then falling asleep again. She was also talking a lot, mainly saying "Thank you" while sleeping. This morning at about 9:30 AM I got her to take 200 mg of B1, 1000 mg of C vit, 200 mg of potassium and 100 mg of B6. I brought some call mag but she refused to drink it. However she drunk 2 glasses of water and had a large protein drink. Around 11:00 AM she was given some eggs and toast. She ate half a toast and 2 bites of eggs. She was then pretty agitated for about an hour during which time she was talking a lot and crying. What she was saying usually was non sequiture like saying that [page break] FSO 00140 she was going to go somewhere and then laying down on her bed. She told me as well that she has had bad manners and this resulted in bad consequences. She also at some point asked me if someone was behind the door. I made her understand there was nobody and she was fine.

This is all for now.

Ml Valerie Staff Chaplain ---------------------------------------------------------------- FSO 00141 22/11/95 11:20 AM LISA MCPHERSON 1. Bed was broken & room was messy. Was cleaned up & she rested/slept 4 or 5 hours. She's doing better today. Walking around now & doing better.

2. Asked for a protein shake & was just delivered to her.

3. Has not eaten.

4. Around 1 AM punched out a person who was being assigned to do the watch. Valerie Demange is [page break] FSO 00142 still assigned to do the watch & doing well. Alice Van Grondel replaced her around 2 - 2:30 AM.

[Illegible signature] Security ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- FSO 00745 22 Nov 95 Ethics FSO cc: HAS FSO via Qual Sec FSO via Dir Correction FSO Librarian FSO Knowledge Report HASFSO At 1:30 am last nite HASFSO walked me out of bed. She rubbed me to wake up & acted very friendly. I was quite asleep as I have not slept well for days & was very tired as I start my day at 6:50 am as I help weight train the Class 12's each morning without fail. She told me that I needed to go on watch for some public that flapped. She said that Suzanne Shurenberger, MCO Office Mgr, was ordered to do it but refused.

She told me Ryan Landry was waiting downstairs for me in the car then she walked away and looked outside said something and came back. I started to awaken & said this is not my hat & she said it wasn't hers & she was very sick & was to be in bed. I knew this is true on being ill as I had given her an assist before & she's my roommate & I've never seen her come home on time except once. It's usually 3-4-5 am. She then told me I had to do this as Emma Schammerborn Public MLO did this & Emma's in her 60's or 70's & was up with her 2 nites. She said I needed to have the SO member VP & they had sent some new EPF graduate over there was left because the Type III was too much for her & I was a vet & could handle it. She said Suzanne Shorenberger would hold the library as this was her hat. I refused again & again. She then proceeded to swear at me -- F this and F that & if an exec asked me to handle would I say "no sir to them I tried to say that our execs would never [page break] FSO 00746 demand this & she started swearing again at me. This went on 25 minutes. I went on this watch as I had no senior to consult with at 2 am. I went into the room & she was total Type III. Blabbering, incoherent nonstop. Shaking, no warm clothes on -- a old top & shorts & shoes -- no socks. She fell asleep for 4 hours & got up. I finally chased her around the place 50 times & got on slacks, tee shirt, jacket, socks & shoes -- she was like an ice cube. She talked incoherently hour after hour. She refused to eat & spit out everything she took. Her breathe was foul. She looked ill like measles or chicken pox on her face. Had a fever to my touch. After 1 pm she went violent & hit me a few times telling me she was to kill me #s of times. I called in the "guard" outside -- the fellow am HCO staff member -- new one a Mexican gentleman. He stayed with me during the rage -- but she still smacked me around. (I did cover & guard myself but she was out of control). I finally got her to drink a protein shake but she wouldn't eat or sleep any further. This lasted til 4 pm. There was no post coverage for my library & it was very busy per Qual 1H In fact no one was R-factored til later per the Qual 1H. I had no food, drink or sleep the whole time. Now I'm not in uniform -- can't get back to my room;

starving -- have no $ to get food, no key to my room & out of sorts from the whole ordeal.

Love, Alice Van Gondelle Librarian FSO ---------------------------------------------------------------- FSO 00145 26 Nov 95 Public MLO Rita Boykin, FSC EUS RUSH Re: Lisa McPherson I want to correct the data regarding what Lisa actually ate today.

Cold cuts were brought over -- she was interested in them but would not chew or swallow. I had some Herbalife protein powder & made a shake for her. She would not drink this. There were several very ripe bananas available to me, so I mashed one & put about a tablespoon of protein powder in it. She ate it very eagerly at first. I made a second batch which she was less interested in, even tried to hit away from her. I simply gave her a bite every few minutes and left her alone when she fought it.

She was lying down when I fed her. She tends to just hold things in her mouth or spit them out. I was making swallowing motions & rubbed my finger on her throat & she finally swallowed the first and next couple of bites I gave her. Then she was very in PT and interested in the rest.

From 3H30 AM to 10H00 AM she was very nervous and violent. During that time she did not sleep.

She slept only from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, then waked up and has been awake since.

She has not been eating just drinking a little bit of orange juice, then she threw [illegible] away. She also refused to eat the food that was brought to her, including the protein drink that she usually takes.

The rest of the time she is just talking [illegible] questions and answers, like [illegible] would be asking her questions and she would [illegible] answer.

We were also able to get her B vitamins. She also had herbs to help her sleep. This night she slept for 2 hours and half straight and later half an hour more. The rest of the time she talks and move on her bed or on the floor. She was violent for about 2 hours yesterday night, the rest of the time she was calmer and looks very tired.

Re: Lisa McPherson (Addition to the morning report) Dear Sir, Since 11:00 AM yesterday morning, Lisa slept 3 hours during the day (it was 3 times 1 hour) and as I wrote earlier she did sleep 3 hours this last night.

1 hour and half ago, she drunk a full protein drink as well as took 300 mg B1, minerals, B complex, 200 mg of potassium. We then had her take a bath as it has been successful yesterday to have her sleep.

Ml Valerie ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- FSO 00216 29/11/95 11:30 AM MLO Report Lisa McPherson Had about 3 hrs sleep last night. The 'watch' said she was quieter, but suspects its because she's weak, in spite of protein drink, etc of yesterday.

Vitamins & protein drink being prepared for her now.

Will be given Cal Mag as well.

[illegible] P/MLO ---------------------------------------------------------------- FSO 149 [?] 30 Nov 95 Friday AM Dear Sir, 9 PM - 1 AM Awake. On floor scooting around, moving arms & legs & speaking & groaning. Had 4 ozs of a thick, rich protein shake from the Pavilion.

1AM Dr Johnson just visited. Not possible for her to have any more chloralhydrate. I need to get 4 more valarian root capsules into her & a quart of fluid.

I am mixing up a medium of mashed bannana, OJ & some of her strawberry protein drink to mask the taste of the valarian root.

1:30 - 5:00 I probably got the equivalent of 3 valarien root caps into her. It took 4 feedings over a 4 1/2 hour period.

She will appear to be very cooperative -- hold her mouth open, make eye contact, at as if she is there, then close the back of her throat & not swallow. Her voice becomes nasal & she mutters rather than pronounce her words properly. My idea of closing her nose so she has to swallow so she can breathe through her mouth is only marginally successfull.

She either swallows & breathes or she lets everything in her mouth come out.

When she refuses to swallow & just spits everything out I leave her alone & try again later.

She just dozed for minutes at a time. No signifigant block of sleep.

8 AM Cleaning her & the room & getting her into clean cloths. She has had 2 very small BMs in the past 24 hrs & has urinated 5 times.

I am going to give her more bannana & finish her shake & give her herb tea also.

9:15 AM I got a small amount of the bannana & shake mixture into her & about an ounce of tea.

She is much more physically strong this AM. She sits up frequently & for long periods of time. Whereas yesterday I only saw her sit up once -- she was lying on the floor scooting around. She is using her legs to kick again. Yesterday it wasn't much of a threat.

[illegible name] went completely solid this AM & would [page break] FSO 00150 [?] not help me feed Lisa. I couldn't have enough of a comm cycle with her to get her to help so I used the radio to call Security & sent her out.

A Security guard spoke with her & she came back in. She sat in the corner & cried for a while then helped me feed Lisa.

[ARC symbol} Rita Boykin P.S.

9:45 Sylvia hasn't snapped out of it. She is very down and very solid.

P.P.S. Lisa has come uptone -- she was apathetic yesterday -- physically & in her comm -- just a couple spurts of anger & not very determined at that.

This AM she is deliberate & nasty -- even evil.

[page break] FSO 151 [?] Friday day/evening 11 AM She's asleep! Dr Johnson was here & gave her 2 chloralhydrates. I believe she got the entire amount in each capsule.

1200 She became very restless & almost awakened. I used 2 chloralhydrates & got approx 1 in her. Then sat next to her breathing deeply & sying for about 1/2 hr to get her to immitate the thing & go back to sleep. She kept starting a very fast shallow breathing that was part of her agitation & increasing it.

[time illegible] Still asleep. Has been "put" back to sounder sleep by "sleepy breathing" but never completely awakened.

[time illegible] She awakened around 3:30 & I have not gotten her back to sleep yet. I gave her 4 Valarian Root caps -- she probably actually got 2 1/2 - 3 & 6 of the white tablets. I'm giving her Cal Mag & OJ at every opportunity.

She is wide awake, on the floor, bouncing, humming & talking.

I will be getting a couple of protein shakes for her shortly.

[time illegible] Lisa slept for another hour & has been very quietly resting for another hour. I don't have any more detail than this, as I was asleep also.

She had 1 approx 12 oz protein shake today & approx 10 oz of orange juice. Also about 2 oz cal mag ---------------------------------------------------------------- FSO 00214 1/12/95 1100 MCO Report Lisa McPherson Given 2 gm MgCl2 IM at 1030 + 2 - 500mg Chloral Hydrate (capsule pierced and as much possible squirted into her mouth). She swallowed and fell asleep in the middle of a sentence. Resp rate 18-24.

Extremities still cool but not cold. S. DLV. needs relief now; I will stay until replacement comes.

Plan:

1. Valerie or watch personnel w/medical training for next 8 hrs. 2.

Needs 2L fluids when awake and attempt to feed.

3. Call if any ?'s prob's.

ML, JJohnson M.O.

---------------------------------------------------------------- FSO 152 [?] Sat 2 Dec Dear Sir, 1AM - 3AM I gave her 4 Valarian root capsules, 4 Orinthane (not positive of the name -- haven't seen the bottle, but it is one of the herbal sleeping preparations) and approx 6 oz cal mag.

She has gotten drowsy from time to time but at 3 AM is still awake and talking.

We also cut her fingernails. This will reduce the risk of scratches to herself & us. She has scratches and abrasions all over her body & on elbows & knees has pressure sores. None of them are open & none of them look infected.

8 AM She slept for 2 hours -- 1 hr at a time, talking & basicly immobile while awake.

I will give her more of the herbal sleep preparations & will be in comm with Janice later about other measures to ensure she gets some serious sleep today.

The finances for her protein drinks ran out last night. I was in comm a security guard who said the source of the money was Lisa's employer & he thought he could get more this morning.

I suggested we buy Vita Soy from the canteen & protein powder & yogurt & I make the shakes. This would make it go farther this time. I have a refrigerator in the housekeeping room next to Lisa's room.

10 AM I haven't given her the herbs as she has been sleeping, sometimes soundly but fitfully also. Next time she wakes up enough to start talking I'll give them to her.

12:00 Just finished giving her 2 Valarian root caps, 3 Orinthane tablets & abt 2 oz cal mag.

[page break] FSO 00153 [?] 2 PM Appears to be awakening. She has tried to stand several times but is not strong enough yet. I am going to feed her some mashed bananna & protein powder. Have been in comm /c Security re getting more money for her.

3 PM She just finished the bananna, protein powder & 4 containers of half & half.

She is resting now. She originated that she knows we are trying to help her although she doesn't know our names and we don't talk to her. The rest of her comm is the usual confused stuff.

She also had a couple ozs of water.

Body wise she is very restful & gentle. She has tried to stand a couple of times but is not strong enough.

[time illegible] Has been laying on the bed sleeping & resting. [time illegible] Fixing more bananna & protein powder & half & half. [page break] FSO 00154 [?] 7 - 8 PM Fed her another bananna w/protein powder & half & half. Also got a protein shake & gave her about 2 oz & 1 oz cal mag & OJ 1:00 She has been resting & dozing -- talking from time to time.

She feels the pain of the bruises on her body and comments on it when she is moved or bumps herself.

Also, was very lucid when being fed & commented on the milkshake & that it was bananna flavor.

1:00 - 1:30 Tried to feed her again but wouldn't take anything. She thought we were psyches or other enemies who wanted to kill her.

Also tried more valarian root. She just got whatever would be absorbed under the tongue.

Sunday 10 AM She slept most of the time -- several hours of really good deep sleep. When she awakened this AM she was very confused & combative & continues At 5 AM she got 2 more chloralhydrates & has slept very well since then.

11:30 She is almost fully awake. We are going to feed her the rest of her protein shake & follow it up w/more valarian root, orinthane & cal mag.

She has had 6 oz cup of water through the night the items above.

4:30 Had another 4 ozs of OJ and cal mag. She had about 2 1/2 hours of sound sleep -- interspersed with restlessness.

[page break] FSO 00155 At one point it seemed she wanted a sweater on. I put it on her & she thanked me.

---------------------------------------------------------------- FSO 00738 5 DEC 95 DEBRIEF OF CALL TO DR. DAVID MINKOFF RE LISA MCPHERSON:

Tonight I spoke to Dr. David Minkoff regarding Lisa McPherson. Minkoff is an OT 8 who is an MD and he works at the New Port Richey hospital, outside of CW.

I asked him to relate to me what had happened and he told me the following.

He said that tonight about 7:30 - 7:45 PM he received a call from Janice Johnson, the MLO FSO Janice said that she had seen Lisa McPherson, who was staying in one of the cabanas at the Fort Harrison, and that Lisa looked very sick.

Janice said it looked like Lisa had a bad infection and wanted to know if she should be given antibiotics.

Minkoff told Janice that it was better to get her to the hospital and that she should bring Lisa in to see him.

Janice took Lisa and two staff (the SSO and an assistant) with her and drove to the New Port Richey hospital, about 45 minutes away.

When they arrived at the hospital, Lisa was brought back to the Emergency room where Minkoff was working.

Minkoff said that he looked at her and he could see that she was dead.

He said that Janice Johnson stated that Lisa had been gasping and had labored breathing, enroute.

They worked on her for about 20 minutes trying to resusitate her, giving her CPR and antibiotics, but to no avail.

He said that it appeared that she had been overwhelmed by an infection, one which she could not fight off.

He said that it appeared to him as if there had been some infection that overwhelmed the body in maybe 8 - 12 hours.

[page break] FSO 00739 -2- He said that she had marks on her which may be due to the infection, where the infection discolors the flesh under the skin. There was bruises on her hands and feet he said.

He said that he thinks that she may have had meningitis, which is an infectious disease.

He stated that even if she had been brought to another hospital in the area (ie closer to the FH), he felt she still would have died.

Janice Johnson was spoken to by the hospital staff but did not know Lisa's address, phone number, next of kin, Social Security number, etc and explained that she had just been the one to drive Lisa to the hospital and had forgotten to grab Lisa's purse with her ID etc as she was in a hurry.

Minkoff spoke to terminals at the FSO by phone and was given the address and phone number of Lisa.

Minkoff spoke to the Nursing Manager at the hospital, and she tried calling the phone number of Lisa's apartment in CW (to get her roommate to get data on Lisa) but that there was no answer.

Minkoff said that it is routine in matters such s these, where a patient dies quickly when coming to the hospital, that it becomes a Coroner's case. He said that starting tomorrow (Wed) a Coroner will ask questions about the case, and basically will just want to get things answered for himself -what happened, how did she get sick, etc. He said that the Coroner, once through, will sign the death cert.

He said that there will be blood tests done Wed.

He said that since this might be an infectious disease, he will ensure we get notified tomorrow as soon as he knows, as to what disease it was and then we should take precautions that whoever on the Base was in contact with Lisa should get antibiotics.

Minkoff is going to contact us first thing Wed as soon as he hears any data from the Coroner and from Lisa's blood tests re this infection.

ML, CO OSA FLAG [page break] FSO 00740 Heather Hoff -- Starter staying with Lisa 1 week ago wednesday. She started at 400pm and was on flat out 'till 1:30pm on thursday. While Heather was with her Lisa was not violent, she tried to trip heather a couple of times but no other real aggression. She ate some food and took some vitamins at the time. She was very active at the time and was moving around the room a lot.

Heather was then off and the next day While the Dir RAP and Dir I & R were with her Lisa became very violent. Heather was called back over as Lisa had not been violent when she was there. Once Heather arrived the Dentist was there and got 0 - 12 aspirin down her throat. Also possibly got her to take benadril (a sleeping pill) Heather was then off until 3 days ago when she was put back on. Once she returned to the room she found that Lisa was pale, weak and slept more. Per heather Lisa has not been active in the last 3 days.

During the last 2 days Heather attempted to give her food. Sometimes she would eat and sometimes she would just spit it out.

Per Heather she also had a lot of bruises on her legs, feet, arms, etc from kicking things hitting the walls etc.

Today, most of the day Lisa was in bed to saying anything or not moving, she was breathing. She was given a bath.

Heather left to go to dinner when Laura arrived. Laura said Lisa looked sick and should go to the doctors.

Rita Edwards (Boykin) Rita was the first on the watch Sunday/Monday 26 and 27th of November.

At that time Lisa was extremely agitated and active. She was combative with the other girls staying with her and would ramble on about things, occasionally threatening to attack them.

Rita was then off for a few days, and then came back onto it last Thursday, 30 Nov. At that time she notices that Lisa was not walking around much and sat on the bed quite a bit. She reported that she was weak and not eating much at all. Couple of days ago she seemed to be doing better. However the last 24 hours she has noticeably dropped wieght.

Last 24 hours Lisa had a swollen jaw on the left side of the face and when attempting to feed her comlained about paid in the throat. Rita did administer magnesium shots to Lisa including today.

[page break] FSO 00741 -2- Lesly Woodcraft Was with Lisa for 1 night, two weeks ago on 24 November. She said that Lisa was extremely aggitated and moved around the room a lot. She got aggitated a couple of times while Lesly was there and slapped Janis Johnson several times through out the night. She did not sleep that night. She was very non-coherent and would chatter continuously while she was there. She also spent a lot of time in the bathroom turning the water on and off and banging the shower hose around. She then got herself drenched and sprayed water all over the room. Floor got wet. At this point once Joan arrived Lesly went out to get dry clothes for Lisa.

Joan Stevens - She was also with Lisa for one day the same day and came in to replace Lesly. When she got there, Lisa was awake and agitated she became more agitated and became violent towards Joan, Poking her in the eye and attempting to do it several times. She then attacked Joan with a potted plant in the room, which they took away from her. She then started to hit at things in the room and broke a lamp hanging from the ceiling.

There was then glass all over the floor. She then became more and more violent and broke more glass in the bathroom. She then went and got back on her bed and then jumped off landed on the wet floor and then hit her head on the floor. She then attempted to hit her head again on the floor which the watch prevented her from doing. At this point security was called in and she was gotten onto her bed and the room was cleared, all towel bars, hair dryers, glasses etc were removed. The room was then cleaned up.

Barbro Wenberg Came in at the tail end of the above. She also was also with Lisa for one day. Nothing more happened once she was there other than Lisa being aggitated.

Patricia Stracener - Was with Lisa for one night 1 December from 10:00pm to 300 am When Patricia arrived Lisa was asleep. Patricia started to clean the room, Lisa then woke up and started to become aggitated came up and slapped Patty several times Patty would push her arms back down to her side.

Lisa was very aggitated at the time and moved around a lot. Valerie was then off for a 2 days and then put back on, when she got back she noticed that Lisa looked very tired and had only been getting 3 - 5 hours of sleep per night. She was taking Vitamins and protein drink.

Laura Arrunda - MLO Asst.

Laura started with Lisa two weeks ago. Lisa at this time was very stirng and fighting all the time, walking, talking, cleaning the walls, sticking her hands in her mouth alot. There were 3 staff with Lisa.

Lisa was with Silvia at first and later with Valerie and then with Rita. The first week she was still very strong and kicking and fighting.

Lisa was eating at some times and other times was putting the food on the floor. She was eating bits at a time. The girls helped her to eat and drink and tried to help her keep eating by offering it to her.

Laura was off for 5 days and then started again last Saturday. Lisa was less strong and sitting and walking more. She was sitting and laying on the floor, rolling around, walking and talking non-sequitor That day she got a magnesium shot and she slept and the next day she was better and not talking non-sequitor. She was only drinking protein shakes and not eating much solid foods. She was then two days looking better and was sleeping this week and talking to Laura at times in PT and watching her. Then two days later -- yesterday she was refusing the protein shake and when Laura arrived today she was looking bad, she was not moving her body. Laura took her to give her a shower. After the shower she was sleeping. Laura was watching her to see that her expiratory range was OK. Her respiratory range and pulse was OK. Laura told Janis, that Lisa was not eating and maybe needed an IV. Janis came to see her and saw she was looking bad. Today her skin color changed to ivory color and looked septic. Janis called the SNR C/S Office and called to Dr Minkoff to get Ok to bring Lisa there to the hospital. Two days ago Lisa was helping to put her clothes on and then deteriorated in the last 24 hours very badly. It was when Laura arrived today that she noticed her doing bad.

[page break] FSO 00743 -4- Lisa had been sleeping better for the last 3 days so had not been given any chloral hydrate in the last 3 days. She was being given magnesium injections however.

Janis Johnson - MLO Lisa arrived at the FH on 18 Nov, after having been gotten out of Morton Plant. Suzanne Schuremberger stayed with her the fist weekend.

Lisa was agitated and got violent with Suzanne over the weekend. Janis also knows that Lisa got violent with other people who were staying with her (including Janis). People were staying with Lisa to make sure she did not hurt herself and that she ate and slept. Lisa thought Janis was a psych and would get very enturbulated and violent when Janis came to check on her, so Janis would just check with people staying with Lisa how she was doing. Janis got Lisa herbs and chloral hydrate to help her sleep, which she was starting to do the last 3 days, until she got sick.

Tonight, Janis was given a message when she got into the office at 7:00PM that Laura needed her. She went to the cabana and saw that Lisa was septic and had bruises on her body which looked like they were from and infection and were not healing properly Laura said she had looked like that when she first saw her today at 5PM. She ran an Alain at that time and discussed with him what they could do. They both called Dr.

Minkoff and told him that Lisa was septic and that she needed antibiotics. He said that he would have to see Lisa before giving her antibiotics and that they should bring her to see him at New Port Richey hospital, but that he would only be there until 10. Janis went and got directions to the New Port Richey hospital from Emma and arranged for Paul Greenwood to come along to help. She went back to the cabana and helped Laura get Lisa ready to go. Lisa had had diarhea, so Janis helped Lisa change her. Janis noticed that Lisa had lost a lot of weight. Janis told Lisa that they were taking her to Dr. Minkoff. Lisa acted like she hurt everywhere, but was not hostile and acknowledged Janis in a friendly way.

Paul and Laura lifted Lisa into Janis' van and sat in the back with her. Janis drove. It took 45 minutes to get to the hospital. At one point, janis heard Lisa's breathing get fast and harsh for 10 - 15 seconds and then go back down.

When they got to the hospital Janis opened the door to the van and saw Lisa She thought that she still had some circulation from the was her skin looked. She got an orderly and nurse to come and get her. They put her in a wheelchair. Janis could see that Lisa's blood pressure was very low. Her skin still had color and she thought she saw Lisa breathing. Later, she was standing outside the emergency room where Dr.

Minkoff was working on Lisa and saw the EKG screen, which showed no signs of life.

Because of the way Lisa's skin looked, Janis thinks she had a severe infection, like meningitis. Minkoff though the same thing and is having a blood test done. Minkoff asked Janis why she hadn't brought Lisa in earlier and Janis said that Lisa had not looked this sick before today.

The hospital staff wanted to know basic information about Lisa, social security number, address, etc but Janis had left in such a hurry that she forgot Lisa's purse and did not know any of this data. This had to be called in for.

Paul Greenwood:

SSO Paul Greenwood was called tonight and told to go assist Janis Johnson take someone to the hospital who was sick. He went to the cabana, saw Lisa there with Laura A. Janis had gone to get the car.

When he saw Lisa she was awake, but looked very sick and was breathing heavily. He asked Laura what they were going to do and she said they were going to take Lisa to the hospital. He and Laura tried to have lisa walk between them, but she was too sick, so he carried her to the car. He sat in the back with Lisa and Laura and Janis drove. Paul did not know which hospital they were going to. It took about 45 minutes to get there. On the way to the hospital, Lisa's breathing became labored and then got fainter and fainter just before they arrived. When they got to the New Port Richey hospital Janis went in to get a doctor. An orderly took Lisa into the hospital in a wheelchair. That is the last he saw her.
