Doctor Under Scrutiny
There are psychiatrists who are sometimes asked to advise about the content of TV shows or movies. Have heard of the practise and it's not uncommon. In my case, a psychiatrist has been involved either in advising about films which concerned me; or else he's advised police who had film/TV connections in the gay rights project. This doctor is also on the staff or administration of both the hospital which is supervising me and also the provincial agency which was ordered by the criminal court to direct the hospital. Will be taking this matter up with the hospital. There has apparently been a "code of silence" around my case--that people [everywhere] were directed to let me speak for myself with no interference or assistance from anywhere.--That's my understanding, more or less. But some people have presumed to know what my answers were going to be! And they've had a vested interest. If they put pressure on me to respond according to their wishes, especially around gay issues or romantic matters, they may be bordering on discrimination or sexual harassment. *** There are two films which include medical doctor or psychiatrist characters which I believe have some connection to the psychiatrist above. One is "Silence of the Lambs," 1991; and the other is "Border Patrol," 2000. [Have I mentioned earlier that the first film shows something about what psychiatrists who work with the criminally insane--or "mentally-disordered" persons--have to deal with?] There's also a third film which includes a name like his and has to do with police--and possibly my criminal matters [in a fictional and/or symbolic story]. This last film also includes a police name which I'm somewhat familiar with--have spoken to a police inspector about some police business, partly at his request.
