Dr. Mejer Case Summary

Help! The emergency 911 call goes “My child is having one of his psychotic episodes and I don’t know what to do!” A mother’s plea for help as she watches her teenage son’s manic episodes unfold; what is a mother to do?

Confused and perplexed, Depakote is an anti-seizure and an anti-psychotic drug that works by increasing the amount of a special neurotransmitter in the brain (drugwatch.com, nd).

Jan Schlichtmann is not good role model for personal injury attorneys. He chose to take the Woburn case because he believed it would positively impact his reputation in the legal community, and he did not consider the case’s requirements. The book implies that he had a certain commitment to his vision of himself as a savior and a maverick, using unorthodox techniques to reach a trial victory in favor of his clients, a self-concept that I believe involves more personal investment than is healthy or beneficial for a personal injury attorney. Ultimately, he lacked experience, which manifested in a variety of ways that damaged the plaintiffs’ case.

If the patient has multiple teachers, then at least 2 teachers should fill out paper work. Evaluation should include possible coexisting conditions. These conditions include anxiety, depressive disorders, tics, and sleep disturbances. This is a chronic condition and patients should receive behavior therapy with medication administration (Hauk, 2013). I would ask about any sleep issues. He could be suffering from insomnia.

I feel that Dr. P has a case in this situation. I feel he has the ability to sue for compensatory damages. I would argue that Dr. P is a public figure. As you said he is the foremost academic on exposure to violence and the human psyche. Since he is a public figure and his work is important to public interest. Because of this we have to prove malice. In this case we also have to determine how defamation of DR. P is present. We have to answer how his reputation is being harmed, how his standing in the community is being harmed.
