Lindsay Clancy: Examining the Healthcare System's Failures

17 minutes. That's how long Lindsay Clancy's last psychiatric visit lasted — the day before her three children died. Nine prescribers. Two hospitals. A suicide hotline called twice. And allegedly, not one person connecting the dots.Before you listen: This episode discusses allegations from a civil complaint and public criminal-trial testimony only. We do not cover the criminal case, describe what happened to the children, or speculate on Lindsay Clancy's state of mind. None of the allegations below have been proven, and no defendant has been found liable. One named defendant has petitioned for a Massachusetts medical malpractice tribunal — a screening step, not a liability ruling. South Shore Health and the Women & Infants Health Hospitals operator have said they cannot comment on pending litigation; Astor Mental Health has not responded to requests for comment.This is the care coordination failure hiding inside the Lindsay Clancy civil complaint (Norfolk Superior Court, filed January 2026) — postpartum psychiatric care, telehealth psychiatry's blind spots, and the reimbursement incentives nobody wants to talk about. Alex and Jasmine break down what the complaint alleges went wrong in the system, not the person.In this episode:Why access without coordination isn't the same as coordinated careThe alleged medication cascade — nine to ten prescriptions, no single clinician alleged to own the regimenA courtroom cross-examination over one comma in a clinical note, and what it says about documentation standardsTwo crisis hotline contacts that reportedly didn't meet the "emergency" threshold, and why postpartum psychiatric crises fall outside standard screening calibration14 consecutive telehealth visits during an acute stabilization period — and testimony on what an in-person exam might have caughtWhere AI can actually help operationally, and where it can'tWhy reimbursement incentives, not individual clinicians, are the root of this gapHosted by Alex Yarijanian and Jasmine Singh.#ValueBasedCare #CareCoordination #BehavioralHealth #PostpartumCare #HealthcarePolicyLinks referenced in this episode:risewestconference.comlindseyclancycase.comnewbedfordsuicidehotline.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:South Shore HealthMcLeanNew Bedford
