Lisa McPherson and the doctors: Hamstrung by the ‘spiritual’ needs of a thetan

Lisa McPherson’s first week under confinement at the Fort Harrison Hotel ended thirty years ago today.

On Saturday, November 25, 1995, Lisa was watched in her cabana room by caretakers named Heather Hoff and Rita Boykin. And they were also joined by a man named David Houghton.

Houghton was studying for his dentist board exam at the time. He would take his board exams in just a few days so that he could become the Flag Land Base in-house dentist. After finishing dental school, he had some knowledge of medicine in general, and on the evening of the 24th, he had a telephone discussion with a Scientologist doctor named David Minkoff about the woman who was being held in Room 174 because she had gone “Type III.”

They were aware that Lisa McPherson had been raving and had been violent with her caretakers, who had been with her 24 hours a day since she’d been brought to the hotel late on Saturday night the week before. They talked about how they might sedate Lisa, if that need arose. They decided that a liquid form of chloral hydrate would be best, but Houghton was unable to find any local pharmacies that carried it. So they talked again, and decided to get some liquid Valium to have on hand. They called in a prescription — not, apparently, in Lisa’s name — and Houghton went to pick it up that night and paid cash.

During the police investigation after Lisa’s death, Houghton was asked about the decision to pick up the Valium that night.

[Hatshepsut]

It's painful to read these posts on Lisa. Those doctors sound like The Stooges running around. I just now recalled a similar incident brought forth on Peeling The Onion. This is presently Janis Gillham Grady's attempt to let ex staff from on board the Apollo tell their stories.

I was moved to tears by Janis' and Mark's interview of Scott and Kerry Campbell where they recount how long it took make Scott 'sane' again. He had had both bad ethics handling and unsatisfactory repair, along with physical torture. He went Type III and almost lost his life. If not for his wife, also in the Sea Org, they would not have gotten somebody who was adept at pulling him back out of the mental morass . He wasn't right in the head. He lost too much weight. He was confused. He was picking fights with everyone who tried to contain him or force an amends or the RPF. This man and wife team had donated their lives to the Sea Org and gave Ron credit for everything. To the end they felt the tech just wasn't applied correctly when needed.

Kerry tells the story of getting her husband, Scott, back to his sanity__ 24 min to 30 mins portion. He did get an Introspection Rundown, beginning with a basic PAB 6 to help him start looking outward again__ to stabilize and give relief. ( Amazing that there's different handlings on the books, should people go nuts ) I think Scott accredits one expert auditor there in between my time markers. He unburdened Scott and got the exact points where he became destabilized. Many things in life can act like an Out List and cause that phenomena. Scientology by its nature invites you to come in and have the experience. Enter at your own risk.

The Campbellls were lucky they still had good friends inside who didn't believe the lying party line.

I too, was sleeping in a corner room, downstairs in the cabanas at Flag when I decided to finally stop.. When you suffer abuse like Scott and are given lies as the reason why, you start a cycle of invalidated self. That is my opinion. I feel Lisa McPherson no longer considered her first dynamic, that viewpoint she'd chosen, was worth saving. You don't let an enemy win. They assisted her to believe she was such a bad person, that taking up space in the universe was an overt. How would a person survive, exhausted from fighting off a melee of mental phenomena, ready to gobble the last bits of free spirit. Life force can evaporate like butter in a frying pan....when old demons get re-ignited. You may have to find out Where You Are......and That You Are.
