Diagnosis and Peer Review In Jails and Prisons is dif, ficult and uncertain. Diagnosis is dominated by the DSM, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual which has a copyright and owned by the American Psychiatric Association according to the best of my knowledge and belief. The ICD, is the International Classification of Disease and is owned by the WHO, World Health Association. Both documents are grounded on politics with a veneer of science. Nobody really knows what mental illness is in the sense that doctors know what pneumonia is. The brain has billions of cells and trillions of connections between the brain cells called synapses. The brain is a chemical and electrical organ that is not understood well enough to understand what mental illness is. There are no cures for mental illness. The treatment of mental illness is like giving aspirin for pneumonia before the microscope and before doctors knew what a germ was. That said, there is inconsistency in diagnosis even among the "best of doctors." After practicing medicine and psychiatry since 1973 as a licensed physician, I can say with cofidence that seasoned psychiatrists treat symptoms and not diagnosis. Diagnosis is for billing insurance companies and peer review and burnout. Insurance companies use electronic medical records and diagnosis as tools to deny payment and to ask for money back after authorizing treatment. Many doctors give up private practice to avoid arguing with insurance companies about money.
Dr. Yee started medical School at Wayne State University School of Medicine in 1968. Dr. Yee worked as an Emergency Room Physician at Detroit General Hospital in 1973 and 1974 "moonlighting" from 9 pm to 7 am Friday and Saturday nights for $16 an hour. That was $160 a shift and at that time Dr. Yee was able to buy a Volkswagen Beetle without a radio and without air conditioning for $1600 cash. Since then, Dr. Yee has worked at Riverside Psychiatric Hospital, a prison hospital, Bellamy Creek Prison and I-Max prisons in Ionia Michigan, Brooks and Muskegon Prisons in Muskegon, Michigan, Pelican Bay, CSP-Sac, and San Quentin Prisons in California. Dr. Yee has worked at Kalamazoo Psychiatric Hospital and Caro State Hospital in Michigan and Atascadero and Patton State Hospitals in California. These are Forensic Psychiatric Hospitals for the Criminally Insane, and Incompetent to Stand Trial, and the Not Guilty by virtue of Insanity. Dr. Yee has appeared as an expert in psychiatry in probate court, state and federal courts, in civil and criminal trials in Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, and California. Dr. Yee has been the Medical Director at Southwestern Indiana Community Mental Health in Evansville, Indiana and the Bowen Center in Warsaw Indiana for a total of twelve years. Dr. Yee was in private practice from 1977 to 1984 in Taylor, Michigan and was the Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Heritage Hospital in Taylor, Michigan. Dr. Yee was an Expert Witness in Psychiatry for the Michigan Attorney General in the early 1990's doing Peer Review for Medicaid Claims for Psychiatric Hospital admissions and billings. Dr. Yee worked with active-duty military at Fort Hood Texas during a period where the entire chain of command was relieved of their assignments after a soldier was murdered at Fort Hood. Dr. Yee has had the privilege of over 20 contract assignments as a traveling psychiatrist since 2008 in Michigan, Kentucky, California, and Texas. Dr. Yee has had the privilege of treating thousands of patients in many places for many years. Dr. Yee has seen extraordinary changes in the practice of medicine since 1970. Dr. Yee is here to do no harm and help if he can. May you live long and well. Thank you for your time. William R. Yee M.D., J.D.
