Editing Charles Whitman (section)

===Medical history===
Investigating officers found that Whitman had visited several UT Austin physicians in the year before the shootings; they prescribed various medications for him. Whitman had seen a minimum of five doctors between the fall and winter of 1965 before he visited a psychiatrist from whom he received no prescription. At some other time he was prescribed [[Diazepam|Valium]] by Jan Cochrum, who recommended he visit the campus psychiatrist.<ref name=trutv3>{{cite web|url=http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/mass/whitman/preparations_4.html|title=Charles Whitman: The Texas Tower Sniper (Back In Austin)|last=Macleod|first=Marlee|publisher=trutv.com|page=3|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120701063423/http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/mass/whitman/austin_3.html|archive-date=July 1, 2012}}</ref>

Whitman met with Maurice Dean Heatly, the staff psychiatrist at the University of Texas Health Center, on March 29, 1966.<ref>{{harv|Ramsland|2005|p=32}}</ref> He referred to his visit with Heatly in his final suicide note, writing: "I talked with a Doctor once for about two hours and tried to convey to him my fears that I felt come {{sic}} overwhelming violent impulses. After one visit, I never saw the Doctor again, and since then have been fighting my mental turmoil alone, and seemingly to no avail."<ref name="letter">

Heatly's notes on the visit said, "This massive, muscular youth seemed to be oozing with hostility [...] that something seemed to be happening to him and that he didn't seem to be himself."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://partners.nytimes.com/library/national/080366tx-shoot.html|title=Text of Psychiatrist's Notes on Sniper|website=partners.nytimes.com|access-date=2016-04-12|archive-date=2016-04-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160408210454/http://partners.nytimes.com/library/national/080366tx-shoot.html|url-status=live}}</ref> "He readily admits having overwhelming periods of hostility with a very minimum of provocation. Repeated inquiries attempting to analyze his exact experiences were not too successful with the exception of his vivid reference to 'thinking about going up on the tower with a deer rifle and start shooting people.{{' "}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://alt.cimedia.com/statesman/specialreports/whitman/heatley.pdf|title=Whitman Case Notes|last=Heatly|first=Maurice|date=March 29, 1966|publisher=cimedia.com|access-date=March 30, 2009|archive-date=August 4, 2003|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030804091835/http://alt.cimedia.com/statesman/specialreports/whitman/heatley.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>
