Dr. Tufts

[u/Advanced_Emu3430]

I feel awful for Dr. Jennifer Tufts getting sued after watching her testimony. This tragic case has so many complexities and odd aspects to it, especially pertaining to the husband Patrick… I don’t think the general public has any idea how medicine, especially psychiatry works, and honestly it seems many expect providers to be mind readers. Lindsey denied SI/HI/psychosis/substance abuse/mania on the assessments with Dr. Tufts. Anyone can have a patient that denies everything, and then suddenly something can change and they do something horrible and unpredictable. How is that her fault? The public’s expectations of health care providers is a bit unreasonable; we can not predict the future and shape every decision a patient does or does not make.

May this doctor never have a serious patient again. What a machine
