Starting in the spring of 2008, key officials
from Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Uniformed Services
University of the Health Sciences held a series of meetings
and conversations, in part about Maj. Nidal Hasan, the man accused
of killing 13 people and wounding dozens of others last week
during a shooting spree at Fort Hood. One of the questions they
pondered: Was Hasan psychotic?
"Put it this way," says one official familiar with
the conversations that took place. "Everybody felt that
if you were deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, you would not want
Nidal Hasan in your foxhole."
In documents reviewed by NPR and conversations with medical
officials at Walter Reed and USUHS, new details have emerged
regarding serious concerns that officials raised about Hasan
during his time at both institutions.
Hasan spent six years as a psychiatrist at Walter Reed, beginning
in 2003, and he had a fellowship at USUHS until shortly before
he went to Fort Hood in the summer of 2009. A committee of officials
from both places regularly meets once a month to discuss pressing
topics surrounding the psychiatrists and other mental health
professionals who train and work at the institutions.
