Federal Protective Service -- Letter 6/29/98

I saw Dr. Singh in psychotherapy at the P Street Clinic (D.C. Department of Mental Health) from November 1996 to the end of June 1998.  Dr. Singh's supervisor at the P Street Clinic was Stephen Quint, M.D.  Dr. Singh advised me that it was his opinion and that of Dr. Quint that I did not suffer from any psychiatric disorder for which medication was indicated.  The entire time I was writing letters to the Federal Protective Service (1997-1998) I had a clean bill of mental health from the D.C. Department of Mental Health, which is useful to keep in mind when reading the letters. 

The following letter is posturing when it refers to feelings of "rage."

June 29, 1998

Dear Mr. McGill:

My current treating psychiatrist at the P Street Clinic (D.C. Mental Health Services Administration), Dr. Singh, has advised me that he will be completing his residency effective June 30, 1998.

Dr. Singh has advised me that the clinic will arrange to have me assigned to someone else at the clinic. You may review any concerns regarding my psychiatric treatment with attending physician Stephen D. Quint, M.D.

I am submitting an updated version of my autobiography, which contains newly-added quotations from a recently published book about former President Richard M. Nixon, who, of course, was Henry Kissinger's old boss.

Whenever I think about Dr. Kissinger I think of Roy Lishin, a poor Jewish boy from Atlantic City, New Jersey, who served in Vietnam. Roy Lishin grew up at Vermont and Oriental Avenues, and graduated from Atlantic City High School in 1965 and went on to Rutgers University -- but later left Rutgers to join the U.S. Navy. Fortunately, he survived that war -- Dr. Kissinger's war. My heart fills with rage when I think of that.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman
