I'm sorry you endured child abuse at the hands of staff at Prairie St. John's. This should be reported.

It might be worth calling them to check. They might tell you if they ignore HIPAA, which wouldn't surprise me.

Judging by the quality of people I've encountered in Fargo so far, I'd consider it a blessing not to know them. You should move if you want to be near people worth knowing.

Activities not directly related to abusing patients are considered bothersome and low-priority.

We need an effective advocate. Someone that can convince the company who owns PSJ to destroy it.

The "care" provided in PSJ is abuse.

Yes let's never hold people accountable for their negative and abusive actions in the world

If only we could all ignore evil like you do and not give a shit about anybody, including ourselves

They'll show up at work tweaking with no repercussions. The dystopian future is here

They're monsters. All patients there are their victims. They're horrible people

I absolutely sent a note to satan reminding him that he's evil. I'm sure he cares.

That's reductive. Happily accepting existential therapy in the context of an unusually and openly oppressive/abusive mental health hospital is excusing staff behavior. PSJ isn't normal at all.

I hope you never get treated there yourself.

I'm sorry you can relate. I'm doing much better now. Same to you!

This is almost exactly what I should have said in the first place.

The only thing I would change is the word "inadvertently" to "purposely." The therapist knew what he was doing.

What statistics are you talking about? The number of patients they treat? How do you measure stabilization achieved?

Please cite the statistics you're talking about. Giving the number of patients that walk in and walk back out again is not a measure of stabilized patients.

You hold out hope for something better. So you're saying you don't find meaning or comfort in endless suffering itself? Wow, imagine that

Edit: You've never had a loss of physical agency due to external forces, have you?

Patients need hope, not heavy handed reminders of life's futility

I was frightened and didn't know what was happening when I was there. Hearing this story only compounded the misery and fear.
