You really think they'd treat a paranoid-obsessive so cruelly? After
all, she's saved them the trouble of making a diagnosis :-)

Anyway, this would never come near a court of law. If she DID get
evidence of malpractice, the hospital would publicly deny everything
but have an effective word with the doctor in question. I have a
pretty jaded view of the world, but not QUTE as jaded as Tony's. Yet
