I have trouble believing a psychiatrist gave out meds to be put in a another person's food. I might could see it if it was Ed's wife and they were working together to help Ed, people with problems often need spouses or others to work to get meds taken at the right time, etc. But I don't see how a friend of Ed's would get into it. Also, if the doctor is not saying anything, I don't know how Ed knows what he thinks is correct.

I've know people who have been ill and they need help with their meds; what they imagine happened while they were ill and what actually happened. . . not necessarily even close!

I love and trust my husband to love and care for me "in sickness and in health" and if I'm not rational, all bets are off on what happened and I'm going to trust his report. If I don't trust my spouse to care for me, I shouldn't be married to him and I don't know anyone else well enough that's going to come in (unless I'm a minor and have parents or siblings helping) and try to help me when I'm ill. I'll take all the help I can get when I'm ill. I don't think people who love/care about me are trying to "poison" or hurt me?
