Scientology expends a lot of time and money on attacking psychiatry, but what do they offer in its place? Find out below. From State of Florida V. Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization, Inc. SPN: 01980179 Case No.CRC98-20377CFANO-S Response To Defense Motion to Dismiss Based upon the Religious Freedom Restoration Act "It became clear that Lisa was delusional and combative throughout her stay, was watched on a 24 hour basis by CSFSO employees because of the severity of her illness, had repeatedly resisted her "caretakers," and was subjected to forced medication and injections. It was learned that written daily records were kept of Lisa's condition, but that crucial records, including all written reports relating her condition on the last two days of her life, had mysteriously and without adequate explanation disappeared." "1/27/95 Houghton, presumably in the early evening, administered a second dose of the aspirin/Benadryl mixture. Houghton believed that Rita and Heather were watching Lisa at the time; she was "gently" restrained during the process. Lisa looked sweaty and red in the face and was talking in non sequiturs. She seemed more agitated than she had on the first occasion of forced medication." "11/30/95 Rita Boykin's caretaker notes indicate at lam (which would actually be Friday December 1": "Dr. Johnson just visited, Not possible for her to have any more chloral hydrate. I need to get four more valerian root capsules into her and a quart of fluid." "Despite expending large sums of money, she [Lisa] had mental and emotional difficulties throughout the year of her death resulting in a mild "psychotic episode" in the summer of 1995. This was followed by a declaration that she had finally reached her goal of Clear, and therefore by Scientology definition should have had no more "engrams" that could be "restimulated" to cause the "psychotic break" that she subsequently experienced. She had spent over twenty thousand dollars on courses and auditing over that summer alone, and despite financial difficulties and diminishing productivity at her job, had committed herself to..." "The defense then suggests, without supporting detail, that Lisa made a specific and affirmative request for "spiritual treatment" by Scientolgists and then attempts to equate this presumed "request" as justification for the forced use of medication, injections, herbal remedies and prescription medicines on an incompetent and resisting patient. This "consenting" patient had been housed by them in a room without access to family or the outside world for seventeen days when she died as a result of her, immobility and ..." "...After seventeen days of nightmarish failure of the CSFSO's diagnostic and treatment decisions, in which she had lost 20-40 pounds, become severely dehydrated, and developed abrasions and bruises over much of her body, it is unlikely that a rational person would have decided to continue this course. Since no licensed medical doctor ever saw Lisa, and she was not medically evaluated once she became extremely symptomatic, none of her caretakers would have been in a position to explain the alternatives to her. Of course, no one attempted to do so, nor was any informed consent to any of these procedures ever acquired." Think long and hard before you trust anything the cult of scientology says. Beck
