delivered her fourth child, I believe. She was suicidal and shared that with
the social-work student. We had a psychiatric evaluation, which would be standard
procedure. Psych did not feel that she needed to be hospitalized, that she
could be discharged. The student felt that, absolutely, that couldn't occur.
She went to her field instructor, who listened, who thought: 'This student
knows exactly what she's saying.' And they dug their heels in and went to the
obstetrical attending. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

going to kill myself. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
