Another man has been picked up by WA police, wrongly
identified as the missing patient, and given an antipsychotic drug to treat
schizophrenia. He had a bad reaction and was taken to hospital where the
mistake was discovered.
Those responsible must be held
accountable. Yet many others who have suffered similar identity mistakes and
drugged by psychiatry, are afraid and don’t want to be further traumatised by taking
action against the state, according to Sandra Boulter.
This distress suffered again
and again by so many, forcefully injected with psychiatric drugs… there is no
excuse.
Psychiatrists don’t listen to
what people say. They do not even listen to their nurses, who might actually
have more understanding of the psychiatric patient they are advocating on
behalf of. No wonder Western Australian
treating psychiatrists just dismissed their mistake of identity as the
patient’s ‘delusion’. They do this sort of thing time and time again, with
things like a person’s complaint of traumatic abuse they have suffered, a
person’s complaint about how much they are suffering due to the ‘medications’
they are forced to take, or that they’ve had a bad experience, or are allergic
to a given drug, or that another person on the ward is harming them. Or, that they'd prefer, and need to have other less invasive treatments such as psychotherapy, art therapy, or acupuncture, or Chinese herbs, or vitamins, rather than psychiatric drugs.
When
are psychiatrists going to be forced to check a patient’s record to find out
not only identity, but what they are allergic to? It is so easy now. That kind
of information could be got at a click of a button.
It’s
about being decent. Checking for things like allergies and identity, instead of
hauling a person straight away into seclusion and injecting them with harmful
and potentially lethal drugs.
Psychiatry is a mistake. A big
one. How can they use drugs
that cause such harm and consider them good medicine? It is not okay to
nearly kill someone, even if that person is experiencing trauma coping
mechanisms such as ‘hallucinations’! And it certainly is not okay to do this
against their will and without next of kin consent. It is not okay to cause
more trauma and harm. It is especially not okay when psychiatrists cannot
even tell a person who isn’t ‘mental ill’ from someone who is!
It is very frightening to
think that anyone can be grabbed off the street and drugged and as a result die
or suffer brain-damage, all because society has given psychiatry the power to
do this and then say, ‘Oops sorry about that. A mistake we made. Just an
accident, you know. Are you sure you weren’t mentally ill anyway, because you
seemed to be in need of treatment’. When are people going to stand up and say
that they don’t want to be next?
Yes, Alison
Xamon, it does raise many questions about what’s happening with psychiatric
procedures and yes we damn better have a big inquiry soon into mental health
practices and why it is okay for these psychiatric doctors to cause harm in
order to make patients ‘placid’. Remember, there is no cure for schizophrenia,
according to mainstream psychiatry, only ‘management of symptoms’. That means,
putting the patient into a semi-vegetive state by murdering their brain-cells
and making them suffer the feeling of not being able to think, or do much at
all. A chemical strait-jacket is not medicine it is one of the most vile restraint
measures used to ‘manage’ a person.
Make no mistake, there damn
better be an inquiry into psychiatric practices! Or society is going
to be a very guilty society for allowing these horrific practices to happen for so long it's really, really stupid.
