On
September
2,2023
at
approximately
2
am
I
was
admitted
to
Loretto
as
inpatient
against
my
will.
I
spent
nine
days
in
the
behavior
health/psych
unit.
I
showed
no
signs
of
psychosis,
yet
I
was
forced
to
be
there
for
that
time.
There
were
only
four
staff
members
that
I
did
not
mind
because
they
felt
powerless
as
to
my
situation
however
they
were
kind
and
did
their
job.
However,
I
hope
that
“Dr.”Luciano
Tamayo
loses
his
license
because
he
was
a
bystander
to
my
situation
and
was
extremely
insensitive.
I
requested
an
evaluation
by
him
reiterating
that
I
will
pay
him
for
his
services
just
to
get
me
out
and
he
brefused.
He
walks
around
with
a
small
group
of
students
and
if
their
education
does
not
include
care
and
compassion,
what
is
the
value
of
their
training?
After
this
prolonged
stay
it
is
clear
to
me
that
the
behavioral
health
unit
is
neglected
by
professional
staff
and
patients
are
simply
a
cash
cow
to
the
hospital
business.
Perpetrators
of
abusive
behavior
I
encountered
included
people
claiming
to
be
RN
named
Elizabeth
(Liz)
and
Lois,
and
other
lower-ranked
staff
named
Justina
and
Addy.
Bystanders
included
people
claiming
to
be
expressive
therapists
who
provided
coloring
sheets
and
word
searches
and
at
one
point
insincere
rhetoric.
Their
names
are
Anne
and
Sunmol.
Other
various
bystanders
included
a
man
named
Raymond,
a
person
claiming
to
be
a
nurse
named
Ejaz
Jafri,
a
Michelle
Hanson,
two
employees
named
Diane,
William,
and
Mario.
There
are
others
but
their
role
was
too
insignificant
to
mention.
I
saw
many
injustices
take
place
including
the
violent
restraint
of
a
young
woman
in
a
patient
room
which
do
not
have
security
cameras.
There
was
a
mesh
bag
placed
over
her
head
and
it
is
likely
that
she
received
a
shot
meant
to
sedate
her
just
for
having
a
minor
outburst.
She
was
restrained
to
her
bed
for
a
long
time.
It
was
sad
to
see.
My
roommate
also
received
sedation
for
a
minor
outburst
and
one
of
the
staff
appeared
to
enjoy
exerting
power
over
the
patient.
On
either
the
evening
of
September
8th
or
9th
I
also
saw
a
nearly
middle
aged
woman
get
physically
attacked
by
an
employee
with
a
broom
and
his
hand.
This
was
on
camera.
My
humiliating
experience
of
being
taken
to
a
place
and
forced
to
stay
against
my
will
for
such
a
long
duration
while
watching
people
act
as
bystanders
when
clearly
I
did
not
belong
there,
is
one
I
hope
a
normally
functioning
person
does
not
experience.
This
was
a
disgrace
for
everyone
involved
directly
and
indirectly.
