Stay
away!
My
experience
felt
like
torture.
I
have
never
had
a
hospital
experience
so
terrifying
and
damaging
to
my
mental
health.I
am
still
having
nightmares
almost
nightly
a
year
later.
This
facility
ruined
my
quality
of
life.
When
I
came
in
I
was
denied
my
regular
seizure/pain
medicines
for
almost
3
days.
Staff
members
would
curse
and
demean
me
during
seizures,
slam
doors,
kick
and
throw
things,
grab
me,
and
leave
me
in
bed,
restrained,
with
soiled
clothes/bedding.
Staff
refused
to
contact
my
psychiatrist,
therapist,
or
neurologist
to
confirm
my
diagnoses
and
made
regular
threats
to
do
unspeakable
things
if
I
attempted
to
contact
them.
I
was
not
allowed
any
of
my
accessibility
equipment
so
I
fell
frequently
and
could
hardly
eat,
breathe
or
bathe
myself.
Staff
took
my
glasses
away
as
punishment
which
I
never
got
back.
My
psychiatrist
was
the
one
who
finally
helped
transfer
me
to
the
toilet
and
find
clean
clothes
and
bedding
for
me
after
I
had
begged
the
staff
on
the
unit
for
days.
I
left
with
several
infections
from
being
left
in
my
own
urine
and
feces
which
required
weeks
of
antibiotics.
Serious
concerns:
-
Staff
will
get
physically
violent
and
use
illegal
methods
such
as
"isolation
rooms",
5-point
restraints,
harsh
over
medication
(5
injections
of
Haldol
at
once,
entire
vial
of
Zyxprexa,
etc)
-
Staff
are
usually
aggressive,
unavailable
and
will
not
inform
your
doctor
or
loved
ones
of
your
care
-
Staff
will
make
racist/ableist/homophobic
comments
and
body
shame
-
Dietary
needs
(even
allergies)
are
ignored
-
Groups
are
only
held
once
every
few
days
-
No
family/individual
counseling
-
Psychiatry/Social
Work
appointments
are
less
than
5
minutes
and
only
once
every
few
days
All
in
all,
for
every
1
helpful
staff
member
there
are
100
cruel
ones.
I
would
avoid
this
hospital
at
all
costs
especially
if
you
or
your
loved
one
are
disabled/LGBT/minority
etc.
I
deeply
hope
the
few
helpful
staff
members
can
get
far
away
from
here!
The
rest
are
sadistic
monsters!
