What is Informed Consent? Informed consent is a process, not just a formality, and engaging in that process is of the essence of good medical care. A signed consent form is not informed consent. True informed consent is explaining to the patient all their rights including their right to not have treatment as well as all pertinent information regarding the treatment or procedure.

Wasting the Taxpayers Medicaid Dollars on Psychiatric Drugs Based on a national population of 250 million Americans, the annual costs to the Medicaid programs would balloon to approximately 3.7 billion dollars per year to treat schizophrenia alone. That is over ten million dollars per day just in Medicaid expenditures for schizophrenia drugs. We need to more carefully scrutinize Medicaid expenditures for psychiatric medications.

Money Laundering, Mortgage Fraud and the Medical Whistleblower Mortgage Fraud and Money Laundering of the illegal profits are associated with broad based governmental corruption. This corruption leads to a protection of the money laundering apparatus. Unfortunately more and more criminals are turning to the medical community as the place to hide their illegal gains. The medical community offers many advantages to the money laundering enterprise.

RAPE AS AN INTERNATIONAL CRIME The United Nations Security Council officially recognized rape as a tactic of war. Rape is classified as an act of torture within international human rights, humanitarian and criminal law. Rape is used to discourage dissent and to demonstrate power and it can be used to create an environment of fear that systematically breaks down the cohesion of a community.

US Congressional investigations don't stop abusive rehab centers The US House, led by Congressman George Miller, conducted investigations by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) during the 110th Congress (2008). These uncovered thousands of cases alleging child abuse and neglect since the early 1990's at teen residential programs. These programs are governed only by a weak patchwork of state and federal standards. Yet we still do not have the legislation necessary to protect children

Expanding Network of Abusive Guardianships In the U.S.A. the guardianship system offers few procedural protections, and has spawned a profit-driven professional guardianship industry that often enriches itself at the expense of society's most vulnerable members--the mentally ill. Yet despite numerous calls for reform, most states have done little to monitor professional guardians and prevent abuse and neglect.

But doctors refuse to discuss the adverse side effects with patients and their families, they down play the real dangers of these psychiatric medications and they often do not inform families of the risk.

Long term effects on survivors/victims of abuse Torture is the calculated physical and psychological assault on the individual, a practice used to instill fear, punish or degrade, to dehumanize, or to obliterate the self. It is often said that anyone who has been tortured remains tortured, long after the physical wounds have healed. Children in the U.S.A. have been tortured within residential treatment facilities.

FDA black box warnings about violent behavior and suicide do not stop the sale of these medications. When will policy reflect the true reality of these drugs?

Privacy, Sealed Records and the Public's Right to Know There is a public nature to a dispute in front of a court in spite of the dispute starting originally in a private matter. There has been increasing use of "secret settlements" or agreements between a plaintiff's attorney and the defense attorney to keep certain information from the public. When does the public's right to know, outweigh the privacy rights of the parties involved?
