Well I don't care what mental disorder/illness that dude has. That fucker should be hung by his useless neck until it snaps and he sways in the breeze under the gallows pole.  Fuck him, and fuck his excuses.  Let him burn in hell...Unless of course, this psych worker was an abusive ass hole herself...Then I say call it a draw.

 I myself would never let them get me into a psych hospital, but even though that chance exists, I say they should have more guy techs, and they should all be trained in submission/grappling techniques.  I was in Judo for years, and my friend as well.  He worked as a mental health tech, he said he used judo/jujitsu all the time (though covertly) to subdue wild patients...It fucking works.  Women should especially be trained in those techniques, even if it just stops the guy for a moment, so she can runaway--and live.

I have a nurse friend here in Michigan, and she worked psych, and she said the staff were always getting assaulted by the patients.  This other chick i know is a psych nurse in Australia, and a nurse the was stabbed and killed by a patient with a pair of scissors.

It's no different than the street, you better watch you ass, or someone WILL kick it.  Any of you who have kids--get their ass  in to judo!  When I was in Judo, it was an environment of respect. There were NO assholes.  I even learned to appreciate my fellow humans, because I could not learn the moves, without them taking some discomfort.  They took a certain amount of pain from and for me, and I took pain from and for them...And we all were better people for it...And we respected each other.  I would have never stopped Judo, but I had the bright idea of going to nursing school, and I couldn't do both.

Man, I'm getting hyped up.  People are assholes.

My best friends mom is a traveling psych nurse. she was out of commission for awhile. she was working and one of her patients threw her up against the wall and fucked up her back really bad. I can't remember if she is still off of work or if she went back. I should mention that she is in her late 50's early 60's and a hefty woman.

 I think that they must put criminals in with the regular MI people, which is wrong! A mentally ill criminal belongs in a psychiatric prison, not with the general public!

 Because I have heard horror stories in the news, I purposely put up the info about the Private Hospital Austen Briggs, it would be a safe alternative to a Community Hospital.
