13) What Mica's Medical Records Reveal About Life With JP Miller...

After Mica died, a stack of her alleged medical records surfaced — spanning years of her marriage to JP Miller. Every month is accounted for except one: December 2017. The month a 23-year-old newlywed with no history of depression or mania went in for surgery and came out with a bipolar diagnosis... Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell walk through what those records actually document — a patient asking when she could return to work, a doctor writing about Mica and JP as "they," and black-marker redactions you can read straight through. Then our team digs into the psychiatrist behind many of these reports, Dr. Shadi Duchesne (which we admittedly pronounced a number of ways), who had some license trouble in Pennsylvania before treating Mica in South Carolina. Finally, the FOIA requests Mica filed herself, three days out of an involuntary hospitalization — fighting for her own records ahead of a commitment hearing. Horry County sent back only one of at least eight reports.
