Dear Dr. Pitts:
This will constitute my formal protest of the fee of $13.00 for the lithium assay performed by the GW diagnostic center on February 26, 1993.
Lithium is not indicated in my case. A practicing psychiatrist, consulted by my former employer, determined that I was delusional and potentially violent: presumed dx: 297.10. My former employer states that I was paranoid and violent.
You may contact Mr. Dennis Race, an attorney manager of my former employer, at (202) 887-4028 regarding this matter. Mr. Race can provide you with the name of the psychiatrist with whom he consulted.
Sincerely,
Gary Freedman
Dennis Race identified the psychiatrist he consulted, Gertrude R. Ticho, M.D., in a supplemental interrogatory response he filed with the D.C. Department of Human Rights in May 1993. Dr. Ticho was a clinical professor of psychiatry at GW.
In view of concerns about my potential for violence placed in controversy by my former employer, the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, did GW have a duty to contact Dennis Race?

At the time I filed for SSA disability benefits, on April 20, 1993, I did not know the identity of the psychiatrist that Akin Gump consulted. Akin Gump identified the psychiatrist as Dr. Gertrude R. Ticho in May 1993.
