Exhibit No. 13: Admission examination
(translation)
A note about my first examination in the hospital which contradicted the medical certificates:
|
SAINT MICHEL ARCHANGE HOSPITAL Quebec
Patient admitted against his will, alleged to be distrustful, aggressive, and threatening his wife. The patient is well oriented, defends himself well verbally, denies the violence by diverting the conversation and is trying to make us believe that his wife is actually the sick person. However, in his history we find that he acted in much the same way towards his first wife as he does today. Thus, he tells us that his wife hasn't been faithful; the same distrust is found in his personal history, driving him to reject his child as not being his and to divorce. With his second wife, today, a similar way of thinking and acting finds expression. During all the time of the interview one feel an aggressiveness with an ironic smile (emphasis added). Our impression at the time of the interview: Paranoiac state.

Dr. André Beaudoin was actually the first psychiatrist which I had met on November 12, 1971. Dr. Beaudoin was the one who told me that my certificate had three signatures - by Dr. Grenier, Dr. Dionne and Dr. Dufour - which I vigorously contested, as I had not known Dr. Grenier at all and I had not seen Dr. Dionne for more than three months.
Nevertheless, Dr. Boucher, who signed this note, nullified the initial diagnosis, "Schizo-paranoid" made by "experts", like Dr. Grenier, Dr. Dufour and Dr. Dionne. Further he scorned the symptoms like delirious, hallucinated, noncooperative, danger of homicide, and so one.
His "Impression of Paranoiac state" is courageous and sharply deviates from
the original diagnoses ("schizo-paranoid"), though the reasoning for his
"impression" is still questionable.
