Dear Dr. Van Waters,

HMO
Hald-- was there any address? MVW

Miss Cavanah has always
given me straights facts and I now
am giving them right back to her.

Because she had Mr.
Genereau completely "Buffaloed" I
had to stage a sit down strike
before he would even listen. His
assistant called Mike Cavanah and
asked if she would accept me back as an [andateus] and if I would go back!
her reply was-- no she came back
with a bag full of pills. In
anger I replyed, "Why that is
the most damnable lie that I
have ever heard. Mr. Genereau
called over - why be so stubborn
why not go back. My reply I "Your
damn right I can be stubborn when
I know I am right. I said-- you know
it is a well-known fact in psychiatry
that the patient alone is the only
one that knows when he or she
is well.

Can you imagine my going
back to try to give Dr. Marten [Buenger-Jones?] Inform.
