Two stories from Joe

Thanks to Joe for always being on the lookout. About the first article, he writes:

Where the mental health systems speak so often of transparency, the
walls of this institution are real in all respects. If sunlight is the
best disinfectant, this is clearly one place where the sun doesn’t shine.

“But what makes this matter more egregious is that Delaware Psychiatric Center is currently under investigation by three agencies or special panels. There are no top secrets here.”

And the second:

Here a suicide occurred at a New Jersey State psychiatric hospital.
Once again the words and the deeds did not intersect with tragic
consequences.

N.J.S.A. 30:4-27.1(c), “It is the policy of this State that persons in the public mental health system receive inpatient treatment and rehabilitation services in accordance with the highest professional
standards and which will enable those hospitalized persons to return to their community as soon as it is clinically appropriate.”

Ancora CEO out after patient suicide

And my comment: He was reassigned? What is this, the old days of the Catholic Church? He shouldn’t be moved to another parish. He should be fired — end of story.
