Dr. Mary McCaffrey:

I have never withheld treatment because of the law and I am not aware of it occurring in my unit. I have never heard of it from a colleague. Women receive appropriate treatment.

I have exhausted my very limited expertise on suicide. The psychiatrists will probably enlighten the committee this afternoon.

I am sorry if I offended anyone by mentioning patients and not babies. The word "babies" arose regularly in my presentation. I loosely used the term "patient" to mean the person with the illness or condition, but I reassure the committee that I used the word "babies" in my presentation.
