I used to work for an insurance company and the times I had to deal with psychologists and psychiatrists were always the worst. I can't imagine they talk to their staff much better than they talked to me!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07736548310473793073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677693422985175025.post-44143509586705490192008-06-23T16:27:00.000-05:002008-06-23T16:27:00.000-05:00Mamaflo,<BR/>Oh my God, I laughed so hard when I read this I almost cried! I also worked in social services as a job developer for severely emotionally disturbed teenagers. I walked in on my first day and one girl was sitting on the lawn having a conversation with Satan....but funny thing, no one was there! The facility had a "quiet<BR/>room" which was padded and the kids had med check twice a day. There was also an intervention team that you could call to take kids to the "quiet room" when they got out of control. One kid sat outside and banged his head on the wall until the interventionists came and took him off. The classrooms were something else! I had to leave before they came and took me to the "quiet room!" I have a feeling from reading about similar experiences of people who work in that industry that it is the norm rather than the exception.<BR/>Peace,<BR/>DivaMz Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14778043076619087809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677693422985175025.post-34481271767374527002008-06-23T12:35:00.000-05:002008-06-23T12:35:00.000-05:00i was thinking about a mental health clinic and wondered if the people in their really had problems or if they needed "rest". i need a break sometimes, but after reading this post, it sounds like it was not a "relaxing" place to be. if you check yourself in, how do you get out?Naturalhttp://www.valeriemorrison.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677693422985175025.post-1691019153587305452008-06-23T11:22:00.000-05:002008-06-23T11:22:00.000-05:00Whew, good thing you got out of there when you did!
