Ms. Brennan: No. It was the liaison that was at the bedside. Urn, she was wearing one of the blue standard Scientology shirts, that’s why I assumed that she was a liaison.
Agent Feola:
Did you know prior to that time that Lisa McPherson was a member of
the church of Scientology?
Ms. Brennan:
EMS personnel had told me that she was from the church of Scientology.

that she had and would treat her. Um, at that time I went ahead and I grabbed one of our standard AMA forms, which is a form that people sign out when they go against medical advice. She was going against medical advice ‘cause they felt that she needed to have further evaluation and
some one to talk with. I brought the form to her. She signed without any trouble. I felt it best to have the two people who were at her bedside to sign with her, so I had the woman with the light blue shirt and the
