Arbour HRI Hospital records

Male activities therapist, October 3, 2014:

_________

The next three pictures are of treatment notes from June 19 and June 18, 2014.  They are from the women's partial hospitalization program at the Arbour HRI Hospital; they are not from an inpatient admission.  I never met the male activities therapist who is featured in several of the pages I have published about being an inpatient at that hospital before this October.  I don't think he works at the partial program.

I don't know who formulated the treatment plan at the partial program.  I had no idea that they had decided that I was too close to other people, and I have no idea what they meant by it.  I was harassed by several of the staff and patients at the partial program, until I walked out of the program after a few days.

Certainly it was an inappropriate invasion of personal space when, during my inpatient admission to the hospital in October, a male Mental Health Worker flicked my nipple through my shirt.  I don't think that he meant to do it, but he also didn't acknowledge it or apologize.  He also treated me very badly when I was moved to that unit again after I had the bad medication reaction.  He accused me of "having a problem with every female on the unit," acted as if all of my concerns were a result of my being demanding and a bad patient, and suggested that I shouldn't be allowed to leave the unit to go to the cafeteria with the other patients when I objected to being harassed by one of the male patients.

Of course, what's meant by the June 2014 notes about "hallucinations and delusions" is everything that I said about being harassed, stalked, and criminally videotaped.

Women's partial hospitalization note from June 23, 2014:

What I have noticed is that most mental health care professionals who describe a patient's discussion and thought process as "tangential" don't like it when the patient talks about what he or she thinks is important rather than allowing those professionals to entirely direct the conversation and agreeing with everything they say.

I have also noticed that many people who profess to be supportive of women being taken seriously hate dealing with women who want to be taken seriously.
