Reply #56: How long was he hospitalized for the March 19th event?

[Mabus]

If he was found unconscious and they took him to the hospital, how long was he in? Overnight? A few days? A week? Was the place where Duley worked one of the treatment centers that the hospital usually recommends? Or is it a place that they send government employees because of the insurance? I mean, doesn't someone who is working in a sensitive area and have certain types of clearances have to be careful from whom they seek treatment? Maybe I've watched too many episodes of the Sopranos. :shrug:

Then there's the question of how quickly he would have got into see someone for an initial evaluation. How did he find the treatment center and how soon after the March incident did he get in to see a therapist? Did he start with the group therapy or was it recommended by a private therapist?

Which brings me to the counselor at Ft. Detrick who is mentioned in some articles and ties in with the questions above. I'm assuming since there is apparently a counselor at Ft. Detrick that Ivins would have to check in with them after his hospitalization. Did this counselor refer Ivins to the place where Duley worked? And when I say "recommend" I mean direct him to get treatment there. And how often was Ivins getting treatment? How much, if any, communication was there between the various entities treating him? Did the hospital patch him up, tell him that should look into treatment and send him off? Or did the hospital's staff have a psychological evaluation and recommend a course of treatment and places to seek treatment?

Perhaps I'm over thinking this but it seems like Duley's timetable is even shorter. I just know that one of my stepdaughters tried to commit suicide a number of years ago. She swallowed a bunch of pills and spent several days recovering after getting her stomach pumped. The hospital wouldn't release her until she had a psych eval. They had to wait until the drugs were out of her system. In the meantime they monitored her for brain damage, among other things. After we got the psych eval the hospital recommended further hospitalization in the children's psych ward. We got recommendations and arranged treatment with a local counseling center that the insurance would cover and that the hospital recommended. Then we had to find a therapist that was available. It took a while for her to get out of the hospital and into treatment. It wasn't an overnight thing.

An alternative explanation is that he was already under Duley's and/or the treatment center's care at the time of the March incident.

So, am I over thinking this, or what?
