I'm working on to get my medical records and how I ended up getting mental health record in the below condition. And I wanna know how it is possible of changing so much in diagnosis. I was first claimed as suicidal while I denied and psychiatrists made up something to keep me in El Camino Hospital. Thanks for Blue Cross of California paying 1 week hospital stay and the expensive medication.

1. Suicidal and harmful to others (10.16.06) - claim was done by Dr. J.A. English-Lueck, Sgt. John Laws and another police officer. I denied their claim as I was on my way to a class. I have the voice recording of this.

2. Suicidal and harmful to others (10.17.06) - from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, the paramedics sent me to El Camino Hospital. They wrote so in the admission form to the second hospital. I only had urine examination twice in SCVMC.

3. Gravely disabled and harmful to others (10.20?.06) - Dr. Peter Newsom diagnosed me so in 5 minutes talking in the hallway. He also tried to set 14-days hold to me.

4. Voluntary Patient (10.20?.06) - I signed the form Dr. Peter Newsom gave as the option to be released on next Monday.

5. Paranoia (?) - Dr. Kent, the old friend of Dr. Wiggsy Sivertsen of SJSU counseling service held several group session. At that time, I was able to realize answering "I was a bit paranoia about students' discrimination" made better for my situation. The SJSU Psychology major student, Hilda B., resident of Campbell, and my old friend from DeAnza advised me on the phone to say "paranoia" so things would go easy.

6. Paranoia, or what? (10.23.06) - After I agreed with Dr. Robert Burr that I will cancel the investigation of SJSU Equal Opportunity Service about student discrimination, I was discharged.

I would like to know what this hospitalization by Dr. J.A. English-Lueck and Sgt. John Laws was about? I never said to be suicidal from the beginning and everyone in SJSU, SCVMC, El Camino Hospital made lies. Too much lies makes things so strange. I just wanna know how they are trying to cover-up everything. The medical records from the hospitals and the insurance should much as well as the evidences I have.
