#affidavit

♠️_Nel nero dell’attesa, il silenzio ha un peso diverso. Non si vede il volto, ma ogni linea del corpo racconta. È lì, immobile, vestita solo di fragilità e decisione. La sottomissione non è passività, è consapevolezza. È il coraggio di affidarsi, di lasciare andare il controllo, di sentirsi viva nel vuoto che precede il gesto.🖤🌹

I couldn't find anything about him contributing to the DSM but what I did find was a lot of information from a malpractice suit brought against him for abusing his patients at an inpatient facility.

Here's Elizabeth Hart's affidavit describing being over medicated, wherein Dr Ross would dismiss her complaints by calling them switches and naming different alters responsible for her reactions.

While still hospitalized in the ward, Dr. Ross admitted a male patient in what was, up until that point, a female only ward. The patient had videos on file of him sexually assaulting multiple women. There's no surprise then that the patient assaulted Ms. Hart and when she sought help from Dr. Ross he said, "I didn't think he would do that on the ward."

When she reported him to the local paper for negligence resulting in her sexual assault while in his care, he "became furious" and "told me I had to get out." He then proceeded with the patient discharge of Ms. Hart despite knowing he would be forcing her out to face extreme withdrawals from the medication he put her on.

He left that hospital some time later, abandoning her with no recommendation or way to set up a continuation of treatment, she was left to face the addiction he created alone. When she finally was able to speak to him again, he suggested more medication.

The next year, he would deny to her face that he ever gave her medication in the first place.

This is a very brief summary of only the first parts of one patients affidavit, of which there are two that I saw when looking at the case. Both victims of his malpractice continue to explain the things he put them through and I recommend reading through them.

An affidavit is a legal document where someone (whom lawyers like to refer to as the affiant or the deponent) makes a series of statements and then swears that these statements are true. It works as an official, legally binding document with significant impact in a variety of legal actions and family matters. The reason you need an affidavit will determine what information you need to provide in it

Purposes of an Affidavit

Affidavits are employed in a wide range of legal and non-legal situations, fulfilling various purposes:

1. Providing Evidence in Court: Affidavits are used in court proceedings to present evidence without the affiant having to appear in person. They can be used to prove things, improve arguments in court, or support additional forms of evidence.

2. Supporting Legal Documents: Affidavits often accompany legal documents such as wills, trusts, and contracts, providing additional verification and establishing the affiant's intent or knowledge.

3.  Verification of Personal Information: Affidavits are mostly used to confirm personal details for a various reason, like establishing residency, identity proof, and income proof. They are often required in order to get official documents like driver's licenses and passports.

4. Establishing Legal Rights: Affidavits can be used to establish legal rights or privilege, such as claims for legacy, benefits or damages.

Benefits of Using an Affidavit

Affidavits offer several benefits in legal and non-legal contexts:

1. Convenience and Efficiency: Affidavits provide a convenient and efficient method of presenting evidence without the need for immediate court appearances.

2. Formal Documentation: Affidavits create a formal record of the affiant's statements, ensuring accuracy and traceability.

3. Legal Validity: Affidavits carry legal weight and can be used to support legal arguments or establish facts in court proceedings.

4. Reduced Costs: Affidavits can help reduce legal costs by minimizing the need for in-person depositions or expert testimony.

1. Title: The title should clearly identify the document as an affidavit.

2. Affiant's Information: The affiant's name, address, and contact information should be provided.

3. Date and Signature: The affidavit should be dated and signed by the affiant.

4. Notarization: In some cases, an affidavit may need to be notarized by a commissioned notary public to verify the affiant's identity and signature.

If one of the roommates heard the murders taking place and saw the murderer walk past her at 4:25 am, why didn't she check on her roommates or call police till 11am. How come no one on the news is talking about this??? This is incredible!

I am holding up via my spastic arms, the I VOTED sticker and posing next to the voting signs that direct people where to enter. One of them has a blue and white wheelchair symbol. The other one reads vote here (in multiple languages) with a black arrow pointing right] (photo credit: lizzie my HHA)

The above photo was taken today, Election Day right during my attempt to vote. Allow me to explain.

I wrote this 21 hours ago on social media:

Just for shits & giggles, I double check to make sure that I am still registered 'cus #VoterPurgesHappen. According to the website, there is no record of me being registered.

[image description: a screenshot of the BOE website when I looked up my voter registration status, only to find that for some reason I am not registered.]

I call up the New York County Board of Elections who doesn't even check + just says "you're registered" (My speech impediment was in effect and I got the impression that this person just wanted to get off the phone)

My HHA called (with no speech impediment) + got more of an answer. The woman said that although my mailing address is where I live now, I am still registered to vote at old address in Brooklyn - + thus even though I've been voting in Manhattan since 2013, now all of a sudden, I have to go to Brooklyn to vote

The woman was less than courteous but after my HHA said we have the physical card from 2017 telling us where to vote and that I was able to vote successfully IN MANHATTAN (in previous years), she said then I shouldn't have a problem. But it's odd since she JUST told us, I'd have to go to Brooklyn

First of all, I am disabled and mostly bed bound so just physically getting to the polling location in my neighborhood is a big to do. I would have no way to get to Brooklyn even on a good day. If I vote tomorrow and I am turned away 'cus the BOE screwed up, it is a trip in vain

Second of all, what the hell. I have been literally voting for YEARS in Manhattan and now all of a sudden, something has changed? Something is not right.

When i went to vote today, with the assistance of my home health aide, Lizzie, I wasn’t even sure if I would be allowed to vote.

I went to my usual polling place, with proof of my current address in hand. Proof of the 2017 voting card that I got in the mail last year (but for some reason never got my 2018 card). I had proof of ID and more. They had me on record voting successfully from the years before and yet I was not on record for this year. .

The volunteers at the polling place were very kind and suggested another person’s record of the same name got confused with mine, but that didn’t seem right as they had me listed as my old address in Brooklyn, not some stranger’s address.

In the end, I was given a ballot and an affidavit. Meaning that while I could technically vote, I was not allowed to scan my ballot as usual. I had to place my ballot in the affidavit envelope, and pretty much go on faith that it would be counted, as I handed it to the volunteer. I was also not allowed to take a photo of my ballot, the affidavit and nor did I receive any kind of receipt that I voted, other than the I VOTED sticker that everyone gets. Don’t get me wrong. The volunteers (unlike the person at the BOE) were very nice but what kind of voting system do we have, where I basically have to rely on faith and trust?
