rude couldn't tolerate we're not hearing or at least in the way what do you think about. what i did and i actually was not what i imagined i'd be doing when i must be here is. my first impression about a prison was this looks like a concentration camp i don't know who i should be watching when i should be doing i should be conducting myself i don't know how i made it there very overwhelming for a nineteen and twenty year old kid to be here and. to be. in charge of other summary of what's that and so. i would never. act like i did i would read prison and normal life never ever the

way were using medicine there was to get at the prisoners and rate them down the side of treating people it was almost like we're punishing them for seeking treatment from us i mean when i'm ordered to give some a fourteen gauge needle. especially if they're not in a mass of trauma i know that that's not needed and i know that that's purely to inflict pain and that was explicitly explained to me by the officer in charge as give these guys fourteen gauge needle so they won't want to be using the morris are so huge and they're so painful. usually the prisoners are crying and wailing and screaming that you know in the us. there's nothing to feel good about stick and fourteen years have been somebody for no good reason. take the one that's those people who are i'm sure there was other people who also felt the same way as i did but. ghraib prison was not

6:41 pm
mean the people that are in psychiatric distress can especially benefit from the acute use of psychiatric medications i don't think we need to question that but you also have this whole other part of society that is using slash abusing psychiatric medication and you can put the medical field in there too because they're the enablers in the ninety's if you told a family practice doctor in ten years you will write a ton of prescriptions every month for atypical antipsychotics he might laugh at you now primary care writing a typical for and on therapy for depression anger management all d.d. things. i.v. disorders they're just being used for everything the market is being saturated with them but most important by primary care that. i think that's the most important thing that pharma has figured out. i'm tracking a case about a psychiatrist who claims that
