Documenting Psychiatrists Behaving Badly

We now quote extensively due to the problem of links becoming obsolete. This helps us become a record of what was actually reported.

An Analogy:
There's a place in a large city with very bad drinking water, and kids are always getting sick with dysentery.

And the problem is NOT genetic.
