Now, don't take this as a defense of the Psychologist AT ALL. I do have one thought with regard to some of the disorganization and he should have re tested etc.
Working in medicine along side a doctor, we have everything you can imagine at our fingertips, the patient comes to us, we are on our turf, we can do full service whatever they need, we have their chart, computers, you name it we have it.
A thought was running through my head when he was scrambling for some documents and talking about using a pencil vs. a pen. I imagine it is somewhat difficult to truly examine a patient in prison. He can only bring in certain things, he has to load up and bring the stuff he needs, it's possible he can't use pens in that room (they are not usually allowed) I don't know how optimal this testing and therapy environment is?
This would be a far cry from having her come to your office sit down, private and quiet and you can control all the testing conditions, you have your computer at your fingertips and your staff to take results and and get them analyzed etc.
So I give him a teeny weeny "A for effort" in trying to do such a complex thing inside what must be a tiny room, block walls and two deputies guarding her...
I would need to know more what was allowed. (it won't really change the answers, it just makes it hard to really test someone properly)
Then each return trip has to be approved by the State of Arizona (or they approve 2 at a time maybe) There is probably a ton of red tape just getting to see this person in Prison.
