This makes me curious about two things. My first question is what Dr. Dean's specialty was. The article just says he was a physician. To properly make this judgement, he would need to be a psychiatrist, wouldn't he? The closest I can find is a line in Wikipedia that says he was in a family practice with his wife as his partner. Without the proper training, he is no more qualified than I am to say someone is mentally ill (not that I haven't called people crazy, and in some I especially like the diagnosis of guano loco that I learned on this board).philip964 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 02, 2018 10:44 pm https://www.newsweek.com/trump-mentally ... ys-1101539
Doctor and former governor of Vermont says Trump is mentally ill.
The second, and much more important question, is when he (or the actual psychiatrist mentioned in the article, Dr. Lee) conducted his medical examination of the president. I could be wrong, not being medically trained, but it was my understanding that before any doctor could render a diagnosis, they must make an examination of the patient. This is based on many court trials I have observed or read about where the doctors testifying about the sanity of the defendant are always cross examined on the number of office visits and the length of those visits with the defendant.
All of which raises the question of whether or not the statements by the doctors constitutes malpractice and if they can be sued or complained on about it.
