• ‘Misidentified Man’ Mistakenly Locked Up in Psychiatric Hospital, Injected with Powerful Antipsychot
    35 replies, posted
[quote] A MAN was given anti-psychotic drugs after he was mistaken for an escaped Graylands patient, having been picked up by police and detained at the hospital. The shocking incident occurred earlier this month and authorities did not realise they had made the blunder until after they gave the innocent man a cocktail of powerful drugs. The man fell ill after being given the drugs and needed hospital treatment. An investigation into the incident is now underway. The series of events started after a patient at the hospital left without permission in mid December. Police were called to help locate the patient and several days later, a man with the same description of the escapee was brought back to Graylands by police where he was wrongly identified by hospital staff as the runaway patient. The man was subsequently given a batch of antipsychotic drugs but it caused an adverse reaction and he was treated overnight in hospital. The “real” missing patient eventually returned to Graylands. Health authorities and WA Police have both launched their own investigations into the incident. WA Mental Health Minister Helen Morton has reportedly apologised for the blunder and labelled the incident a “dreadful mistake.”[/quote] [url]http://www.news.com.au/national/innocent-man-held-drugged-at-graylands-hospital/story-fndo4e3y-1226543530589[/url] What a big fuck up
oops
Must've been fucking scary for that MAN.
Woopsy!
I wonder what the medicine did to him, they didn't really say.
I am not surprised. Graylands isn't the best of mental healthcare facilities.
This is literally my worst nightmare. Being locked up against your will in a mental facility and given all sorts of dope so that you're powerless to do anything.
I wonder how much money he will get out of this lawsuit. I bet loads.
I hope he recovers from the drugs, so he can enjoy all the settlement money he's going to be receiving for such a huge blunder.

[QUOTE=Chrille;39001937]This is literally my worst nightmare.

You got the wrong guy!" will only enforce that thought. :v:
[QUOTE=LSK;39001757]I wonder what the medicine did to him, they didn't really say.[/QUOTE] Gave him an excuse to get millions from lawsuits.
[QUOTE=Riutet;39004998]Gave him an excuse to get millions from lawsuits.[/QUOTE] Yes if I could get millions of dollars I'd totally go and get strapped up to have medicines that could potentially kill or fuck a sane person like me get injected into me
That's like a nightmare scenario with a vortex of lightning and dark clouds above the asylum while they strap you down into a cold table and inject you with green slime using a giant needle

What I find more disturbing is that places like that actually still exist.
I think the worst part is them saying he is someone that he isnt. Being told that im not who I am and being injected with shit would really fuck with my mind.

When you're in there, there are sometimes regular visitors for other patients there. You feel sane, but you know when they're walking past you that they're always at very least frightened/intimidated by you. You always look up at visitors and guests because they're new faces, you don't see them often, and you can't help but look anyway because you hope they're visitors for you. That look they give you. That smile, the one that's either like "I view you as less of a human than me", "Hmm, I wonder what's wrong with you?" (So you know they're analysing you), "You frighten me please don't stab me" or "I feel so sorry for you being in here" There are of course people that say they're not crazy, but most of the time everybody knows that they are, in certain different ways. There was one person in the hospital with me whom was severely schizophrenic. We used to have daily conversations about how his voices were that particular day, I learned [B]so much[/B] whilst in there about how the whole system works and people's captivated mentalities, so much that I feel as though I should make a thread. As I know more than the average person and got to know a lot of people's personal stories and dilemmas with the system...hmm
[QUOTE=Genericenemy;39005041]What I find more disturbing is that places like that actually still exist.[/QUOTE] Well it is a place where they hold people mental health patients that have been criminally charged.

It's funny how you see in movies how there's always one guy "on the inside" that you connect and become great friends with, because it can and does happen in real life. We still talk to this day, he's "out" now too and we're planning to go for a drink in the near future. :)

whats fucked up is that in his mind, for all he knew, he coulda been crazy and been extremely delusional.
Poor guy, and I bet all he wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi.

[QUOTE=smeismastger;39006324]Damn straight you should make a thread, sure as hell will be interesting read.[/QUOTE] I'll get right onto it.
What kind of mental disorders get you to a mental ward, anyway? I'm curious.
