Dear Ms. Wellenstein,

I did not get a response to my letter of 1/11/02 (see attachment #1).  I would
like answers from Medi-Cal authorities to the questions I posed;
specifically to the charge I made that ADHD and other psychiatric disorders
are invariably represented to the public and to patients to be diseases when
they are not.

Also attached (see attachment #2) is my recent letter to Judge Leonard Edwards
regarding Diane and Vincent Booth; Vincent having been taken from his mother
to assure his treatment for the non-existent, fraudulent “disease,” ADHD.
My suspicion is that Vincent’s treatment is funded by Medi-Cal.

Medi-Cal, in funding such treatment, represented to the public, patients,
and, to all payers, to be that of a “brain disease” is, itself, a
participant in the fraud.


Sincerely,

Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD
