Psyclops said: Why would any of us enjoy this article. One of my close coworkers, a psychiatric nurse, was assaulted and restrained in a safe room by four female patients. The door was locked. She was left. It was not an enjoyable event for her.



The thing I had a hard time getting about you patients was that you often felt it was us (the staff) against you (the patients). Could you help explain that Anuwolf? It always seemed to me that the staff (MD through orderly) offered the best services they had to offer. I would enjoy an answer to that question. Click to expand...

Psyclops, Are you a psych student, Nurse or a psychiatrists? Im having a difficult decision to view you either as a doctor/nurse or a student.I do apologize for my sick sense of humor. If you are a doctor, a psychiatrists or a nurse you can probably understand where Im coming from. I was diagnosed of having borderline personality disorder when I was at the hospital. Lately Ive been having some serious mood swings, even almost busted my fathers car front window over an argument yesterday at the beach, funny eh? In case if youre wondering, yes Ive been in the psychiatric hospital 5 times prior 2004 to the beginning of 2005. Theses kinds of articles somehow get to me.Lets get back to your questionsI will most defiantly explain however you MUST understand that each person who enters a psychiatric hospital is not a typical NORMAL person that you see in shopping malls or in public view. Each patient has their own reasons of being there. Some are either detoxing from a narcotic like Xanax, heroin, etc, and some are there because they were forced into this treatment that they dont want. You guys probably receive more **** coming from people who are involuntary admitted to the hospital by the ruling of the courts. Here in Florida we have a law The baker act law which gives the rights of social workers, case managers, Psychiatrists and Law enforcement to decide if the person that their dealing with is endanger of themselves (suicide) or to anybody else (homicide) and is in need of emergency psychiatric care. When somebody is in the hospital involuntary.. You cant expect the guy or woman to come up to you and give you flowers. The person is usually pissed or psychotic. All I can say is that if you cant take the heat and to fully understand why patients are chasing after you maybe the field of psychiatry is not the field for you to be in. anybody choosing to work at a psychiatric hospital should have solid steel nerves with LOTS of patience, just like in prisons. Inmates will try to break you down at anytime. Once they find your weak spot, you might as well quit. Theirs no time to think and feel sorry for yourself after a patient assaults you with a weapon.Anyhow.. my experience at the hospital was alright, however I didnt like when the nurses were threatening me of shooting me up just because I didnt feel like taking the horse pill that they gave me inside those little plastic cups.Thats not necessarily true. Not all hospitals offer the best treatment. When was the last time youve actually studied on psychiatric abuse? Where psychiatrists or psychologists sexually assaults their patients and then orders an ECT on the patient to delete the memory of the sexual assault that happens.Go to http://www.psychiatric-abuse.org.uk/ Not but leastAlso dont forget Psychiatric Fraud
