Institution: Riveredge Hospital

Categories: Forceful Treatment, Over Prescribing, Medically Induced Illness

Description: Peer I advocated with their consent was discharged without medication after we both pressed issue of over-medication and medication without a cause. The peer was made to believe he was required to take the medication that was overly sedating him. The peer was sedated and peers complained of patients' drooling. The sedation made the patient vulnerable to abuse by a specific staff person and the patient was unable to advocate for himself. After discharge I talked to the peer once and he said the hospital was a bad experience and never wanted to go to a hospital again. He was removed from medication before discharge.

Description: A peer was dragged across the floor to his room of which screaming resumed without oversight. Before that the peer was kicked by staff member in the groan before being dragged into their room. I became a peer advocate with their signed consent for this patient and they informed me after discharge that they were afraid of retaliation for being an illegal alien, which they had no control over with coming here with their parents. The peer was timid and asking for help. There was no prompt or justification of force by staff.

Categories: Gaslighting, Unusual

Description: Targeted programming on Television in activity room that echoed what was going on in the activity room. Staff and patients took notice. Incident occurred midday and we were asked to go to our rooms with the activity room closed for rest of the day. After that staff had disconnected the cable box and we were only allowed to watch DVDs on the TV. One patient refused to enter the activity room and stayed for a while in the chill room with the lights off. After the incident the patient was eventually caught with smuggled weed that may have been smuggled with the kitchen staff as there was no visitation at the time. The patient had Masonic tattoos on their body.
