A Look in the Mirror

     I think any healthcare professional that allows rumors about one of their own to flourish should do the world a favor and quit today. I think any healthcare professional that prefers scapegoats and demonization to doing their job properly should quit today. I think any healthcare professional that takes a paycheck while doing these things need to be retrained or let go. I've been held accountable in my life. I've been trained or let go from time to time. Accountability is a good thing for the system. The idolatry of doctors is not healthy. Making money promoting drugs with faulty numbers can and should be called out (here's looking at you, Malacheck). 

    I'd to thank SCDHEC yet again for taking action on CCBH. I feel that it is necessary to do so. I feel that it is necessary to have health care employees held accountable for thier actions, such as instructing someone to kill themselves, going after their family for 50,000$ of malpractice, and not having a fucking clue or even trying. I think it is necessary. When abuse happens, it needs to be called out. What doesn't kill you only makes you more determined to fight. If I have to go door to door explaining the problems with Greenville county's healthcare system, then that is exactly what I will do. 

    Is it helpful to misdiagnose, mis-prescribe, to lie, to make excuses, to get paid for making the health of patients worse? That is the malpractice. That is the malpractice. That is the insurance fraud right there. I think it needs to be called out. 

    And patients, is it noble to mouth off about things you have absolutely no fucking clue about? No, it is not. HIPPA exists for a reason. It does. Because when bullshit gets started in healthcare, it fucks up the system. Restraint is a necessary quality in any individual. Common sense and knowing when to shut your mouth is a necessary quality. I have made mistakes. Allowing this kind of bullshit in my life was a mistake. And I'll do everything I can to shut it down. So long as I am breathing. So yeah, let's go public. Let the world be the judge of Bad Psychiatry, medication mania, and all the rest. 

    Threatening patients, intimidation, lying, and force medicating all need to be called out. If you can't do your job properly, take a break, take a vacation, take some continuing education, take an ethics refresher. LEARN HOW TO DO YOUR DAMN JOBS PROPERLY. There are plenty of good workers in the system. But as George said, some people should not work in mental health. I'd like to extend that and say some people should not work in healthcare. God complexes. Mandatory vacations, mandatory retirement, mandatory training, these are all good things. Otherwise, do us a favor and quit.
