ST27, Osbon had been undergoing psychiatric evaluation at the Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo. It would seem the results of those hospital evaluations were sufficient to now transfer him into a Federal (Bureau of Prisons) medical center for a more extensive psychiatric evaluation. This suggests there was not an underlying neurological or physiological condition that suddenly precipitated his behavior
Undergoing psychiatric evaluation in no way rules out underlying neurological or physiological conditions. Neurological issues can only be identified by a qualified professional which, in this case, would be a Neurologist. A psychiatrist cannot diagnose a neurological condition but can refer the patient to a neurologist for further evaluation.
My sister went from a perfectly healthy young woman to someone exhibiting very strange, erratic and bizarre behaviors.
Some not unlike those shown by Captain Osbon.
She was initially referred to the family doctor, then a psychiatrist and then, finally, a neurologist.
Her behavior was attributed to a brain tumor which had been growing in her head. A cancerous one.
She left this physical plane at the age of 29 years.
