Lindsay Clancy's Doctors Never Asked Her WHAT?!

from True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews · host Real Story Media

Lindsay Clancy told her doctors she was having intrusive thoughts. Her lawsuit says nobody ever asked her the one follow-up question that might have changed everything. Lindsay, a former labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her three children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. Between September 2022 and January 2023, she was prescribed at least nine different psychiatric medications. Her husband, Patrick, has said she seemed to be acting like a zombie. An outside hospital later determined she'd been overmedicated and misdiagnosed, and her nurse practitioner allegedly never responded when she reached out. Her civil lawsuit alleges that what she reported as intrusive thoughts were actually auditory hallucinations, and that the distinction never got explored. A forensic psychiatrist has since diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder I with postpartum onset, a condition where the very antidepressants doctors prescribe can trigger psychosis. Postpartum psychosis affects roughly one to two women out of every thousand births, and there is still no standardized screening for it anywhere in the country. She was also gravely injured that night and has been paralyzed from the waist down ever since. She has never given police a statement about what happened, not once, in three and a half years. Prosecutors have their own version of that missed question. They argue other mothers who lived through postpartum psychosis or depression without harming their children prove sickness alone doesn't explain what happened. Judge William Sullivan agreed and kept those witnesses off the stand, though the comparison stayed part of the record. Jury selection begins July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list and has publicly asked people to forgive his wife. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
