SHORTAGE of PSYCHIATRIC FACILITIES for MIDDLE-CLASS PATIENTS.
In Ontario there are NO PRIVATE PSYCHIATRIC RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES. The Ont Govt closed the oronto University WELLESLEY HOSP (1942-2003) which had a discrete hotel-like psychiatric unit valuable for patients such as Doctors & Executives. The Ont.govt also closed the Central & Doctors' Hospitals.
The present Fort Hood shooting reminds one of MARCELLO PALMA now in prison for the random shooting of three prostitutes
in one day; he pleaded guilty. A polite,quiet-spoken man who owned a successful heating/cooling business had matrimonial problems. (He could afford being represented by a top Criminal lawyer: Edward GREENSPAN Q.C.LLD, DCL.) Mr PALMA had been referred to a Psychiatrist Dr.Lawrence BALLON MD(Ottawa 66) FRCPC (71) and received treatment for many years. Dr.Ballon practices from a house on upper-middle class Admiral road. Mr Palma told Dr. Ballon that he felt homicidal. He was not admitted.
