The following is directly quoted text from a July 13, 2011, e-mail letter I wrote and emailed to Austin Police Department Sex Crimes Unit Detective David Silva, my APD-assigned investigator in the spring of 2011 in APD Sex Crimes Case Number 11-1180447.
That case was opened by APD on the morning of April 28, 2011, and APD's Sex Crimes Unit that same morning also authorized a DNA-traces forensic sexual-assault medical exam on me by a forensic nurse that occurred that morning inside St. David's Medical Center in central Austin.)
"I will be happy to provide your law-enforcement agency with a photocopy of all of the more than 100 pages of official State Government of Texas medical records on me relating to the multi-week period of spring 1990 in which I was confined against my wishes to involuntary psychiatric confinement inside Big Spring State Hospital in Big Spring, Texas, and then transferred from there to Austin State Hospital in Austin, Texas, in spring 1990 for continued involuntary confinement inside that psychiatric facility in Austin that's also owned and operated by the State Government of Texas.
"In 1995, I received those official 'state hospital medical records' from the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation in response to a public-information request of mine dated September 30, 1995, in which a private attorney assisting me at that time, Roy Fuller of Baytown, Texas, received copies of all those documents on my behalf from that state agency.
"As I tonight glance through those legal documents relating to my period of involuntary confinement at Big Spring State Hospital and Austin State Hospital in 1990, I find the following entries to be possibly noteworthy (and some of these entries are handwritten by State of Texas employees and are also difficult to read for that reason):...
---Psychiatric evaluation...(no dated cited on that page): "Last night (Big Spring) police called...'people would come through my walls' and have rectal intercourse while I'm asleep."
---Nursing Assessment, dated 12:10 p.m. 3-31-90: "patient reported to (Big Spring) police that someone had put bruises on his groin area while he was asleep. Found pubic hairs in his bed that he believes belong to someone else."
Nursing Assessment, Continuation Form, dated 3-31-90:
"(John Kevin McMillan) states that he found pubic hairs in his bed which are a different color from his and thus had to belong to someone else. Also had a 'rash' or bruise on his groin area which he believes someone inflicted on him while he was asleep. States that he has even taken measures to ensure that someone is not entering his apartment while he is asleep and that is to have installed 'dead-bolt' locks on all his doors and 'sealed' all his windows...He does not think that (Big Spring) police should have used his 'report' as a basis for seeking his admission to his (state psychiatric hospital in Big Spring, Texas).
"Bonifario (sp?) Salazar, RNC, MSW, 3-31-90, 12:28 p.m."
Medical History/Review of Symptoms: "No alcohol or drug problem."
Signature of cited State of Texas employee illegible, dated 3-5-1990, 3:45 p.m.
Multidisciplinary Case Conference, signed by Trisha Boyles, M.A., P.A., Psychologist, among other State of Texas employees, and dated April 5, 1990: "Prior to admission (into Big Spring State Hospital) Mr. McMillan repeatedly stated that 'people are coming through the walls (of my duplex apartment unit in Big Spring, Texas) and having sex with me'."
Multidisciplinary Treatment Plan, dated 3-31-90, and apparently authored by or on behalf of Marilyn Clark, M.A., at Big Spring State Hospital: "PROBLEM/NEED: patient suspicious of others, thinks that someone has been coming into his apartment while he is asleep and had inflicted some kind of 'rash' or bruises on his groin area. He feels that he has to protect himself from these unknown individuals by putting 'dead bolt' locks on doors and sealing his windows."
Discharge/Furlough Summary, dated April 26, 1990, and written and submitted by Dr. Len Dan Kerr, head psychiatrist assigned to my own case at Big Spring State Hospital: "..."Problem A was defined as the patient (John Kevin McMillan) is suspicious of others. He thinks that someone has been coming to his apartment (in Big Spring) while he is asleep and has infected some kind of rash or buises in his groin area. He feels that he has to protect himself from these unknown individuals by putting dead bolt locks and sealing his windows."
"Objective Key", no date cited: ""A(:) Mr. McMillan will demonstrate an improvee (sic) ability to interpret and interact with others without exhibiting exaggerated fears or aggression towards others."
March 30, 1990, dated "Progress Notes" from Trisha Boyles, a psychologist, at Big Spring State Hospital: "Dr. (James) Webb diagnosed Mr. (John Kevin) McMillan as Schizophrenia, Paranoid type. However, this writer does not see any manifestations of any psychotic disorder. Mr. McMillan was quite pleasant to talk with, however, at times, he tended to be vague."
March 31, 1990, 12:10 a.m.: Progress Notes, written by Bonefario Salazar, social worker, at Big Spring State Hospital: "(Patient) denies any homocidal (sic) or suicidal thinking and has never been 'aggressive' towards anyone. He finally did admit to some thinking that he had found 'pubic hairs' in his bed of a different color than his and that he found a 'rash' or bruise on his groin area and he suspected that someone had inflicted these on him while he was asleep. He states that he filed a report with the (Big Spring) police as advised by his attorney (Drew Mouton of Big Spring, information added by myself, John Kevin McMillan, on July 13, 2011) and as a result of this report, he was committed to the hospital. No aggressive behaviors seen."
April 3, 1990, 11:20 p.m. Progress Notes: "...he (John Kevin McMillan) obviously is having the delusion that people are coming through the walls (of his duplex apartment in Big Spring, Texas) and having sexual intercourse while he is asleep....This patient appears to have absolutely no insight into his difficulties. All he can talk about is trying to sue myself (Dr. Len Dan Kerr, chief psychiatrist assigned to the case in Big Spring) and the state (State Government of Texas) for keeping him locked up here against his will."
Progress Notes, dated April 5, 1990, 3:05 p.m., written by Trisha Boyles, psychologist, at Big Spring State Hospital: "Mr. McMillan continues to believe that unknown persons have come into his apartment (in Big Spring) during the night and had sex with him. When questioned about this, he stated that he is a very sound sleeper and does not know about it until the next morning because he is 'sore'. Mr. McMillan is clearly manifesting paranoid delusions that were not readily apparent due to his evasiveness in talking to this writer. He continues to want to portray himself as a 'victim' to this writer and that he does not need to be here."
Progress Notes, continued, April 9, 1990, by Trisha Boyles, the psychologist assigned to the case at Big Spring State Hospital: "Mr. (John Kevin McMillan) did relate that maybe he should get a pet, such as a guard dog, in order to verify his sense of reality. He stated that he would have the pet sleep with him in order that he may feel more secure (inside his apartment unit)."
