was held down and medicated with an irrigation syringe, held down
during injections of magnesium chloride, given numerous doses of
vitamins and herbal sleep remedies and given prescription drugs

relationship with the prescribing physician.

Janice Johnson, David Houghton, and Alain Kartuziriski had
conversations with Dr. Minkoff in which they related to him that
Lisa was a “type three” meaning “psychotic” and needed medication
to help her sleep. Dr. Minkoff did, in fact, presribe injectable
Valium for Lisa under David Houghton’s name on November 20, 1995
and issued a second prescription for the sedative chioral hydrate
