Primary Documents

Dell Medical School Comprehensive Diagnostic and Treatment Evaluation Report Signed February 3, 2025, by seven Dell Medical School faculty. Contains the Chief Complaint documenting financial coercion. Contains the WAIS-IV scores mischaracterized as "above average." States "no evidence of any mania."
September 2024 Laboratory Panel Vibrant labs documenting CD57 immune suppression, Complement C4a systemic inflammation at 2.4x reference range, and Aspergillus fumigatus mycotoxins at approximately 8x reference range — three months before Dell diagnosed Somatic Symptom Disorder.
December 12, 2024 Lab Order Containing ICD-10 F31.9 (Bipolar Disorder, Unspecified) Obtained through federal OCR intervention. Never disclosed to patient during evaluation. Contradicted by the final report itself. Triggered a UT Austin research recruitment invitation in January 2026.
Sister's April 23, 2025 Written Confirmation Letter in which patient's sister confirms sending a letter to Dr. Erin Logue during the evaluation, describes it as "meant to be confidential," and acknowledges the content could be "hurtful."
UT Health Austin HIM Response, November 12, 2025 Written statement from UT Health Austin's Health Information Management department stating no such document exists in patient's file. Directly contradicts the sister's written confirmation.
Altered and Backdated Records Two versions of medical records in patient's possession. Final report of February 3, 2025 includes NPD, no mention of Adjustment Disorder. After patient challenged findings February 4, 2025, records were altered: NPD removed, Adjustment Disorder inserted backdated to January 15, 2025.
Family Email Chain, November 2024 Emails between patient, parents, and sister documenting the financial coercion in the family's own words, including the mother's written statement: "I'm afraid that disability check is not going to go very far."
OCR Correspondence — First and Second Complaints First OCR complaint required federal intervention in 2025 to force UT to produce records. Second OCR complaint closed in December 2025 under the current federal administration with a letter stating OCR would not investigate.
