Woman Suing State for Licensing her Psychiatrist (Ignoring Involvement in Cannibalism and Satanic Cults
(SUSAN DUNLAP susan.dunlap@mtstandard.com May 29, 2019)
A Butte woman suing a Butte psychiatrist for allegedly causing an irreversible movement disorder won the first step in her case Wednesday against the state for licensing the psychiatrist despite earlier allegations against him that involved cannibalism and satanic cults.

Rehbein is also suing the board for licensing Braun in 2003. Rehbein argues that the board knew or should have known about Braun’s former 11 lawsuits in Chicago in the late 1990s. The Midwestern suits alleged that Braun gave high dosages of drugs to women in Chicago, hypnotized them, then convinced them they were priestesses in a satanic cult. The women alleged that through drugs and hypnosis, they came to believe they had cannibalized thousands and, in some cases, they underwent abortion or tubal ligation to protect their unborn from the cult.
Despite these allegations, as well as newer claims, never proven, that Braun was practicing without a license at Helena’s Shodair Children’s Hospital in 2001, the board licensed Braun in 2003. The state is arguing that the board is immune from lawsuit due to a judicial rule that protects the government and government employees from litigation, even in the face of negligence.
Because of this, the Board of Medical Examiners asked Krueger during an April hearing to dismiss its part of the lawsuit. But Rehbein is arguing that the board cannot hide behind government sovereignty because giving a license to a doctor is similar to a hospital credentialing medical professionals in the eyes of potential patients. Rehbein argues the board should, therefore, be accountable.
