Andrew Millikan is the doctor who treated Anna after she overdosed.
History[]
Millikan was waiting by Anna's bedside when she woke up after overdosing on Xanax. When he saw that she was awake, he asked her questions to test her orientation. Then he told her that he was a psychiatrist and she'd been found next to an empty bottle of Xanax. Anna told him she was just stressed and wanted to sleep. He told her they'd had to resuscitate her and she was on a respirator for a while. She tried to leave, but he told her she was on a 5150 hold until after he could evaluate her. She still tried to leave, only stopping when he said he'd have to call police if she didn't get back in the bed.
Millikan asked Anna why she left New York and if she told anyone she was coming to LA. He also asked if there was anyone back in Germany, someone he could talk to, as it would help her get out of the hospital sooner. Anna said if she really wanted to kill herself, she would have succeeded, and that her life in Germany was behind her.
Millikan asked if she was running from something, as evidence suggested she was. She said she wasn't.
Millikan next talked to Anna about her father. Anna said she didn't blame him because he really did believe in the bright future he promised her. She created that bright future and resented him for forgetting that bright future when things started to fall apart for them in Germany. He started to drink and became small, weak, and angry. Anna hid away in her room to read magazines. She believed in the bright future and did what it took to get it for herself.
Anna told Millikan that she left Germany to go to the beautiful world in the magazines. He told her that that world doesn't really exist, but she told him it did in big cities with their parties. Being there made her feel like she'd made it until the memory was marred, so she drank and took pills to numb that feeling. She said the worst thing was that she was just like her dad, drinking to avoid her problems. After hearing this, Millikan said that was his last question and he was signing off on her release. He believed her overdose was an honest accident and didn't believe she was at risk for hurting herself. He recommended time at a drug and alcohol treatment facility.
