3 /5 John Green: I was recently admitted to the geriatric ward after a failed suicide attempt. They mix extremely mentally challenged patients with those of us who are simply depressed. Within a few hours of being admitted I was assaulted by one of the nurses/security. The lower staff generally treat everyone like theyre crazy regardless of mental state. They tended to be very rude and uncaring. Only the higher ranked staff treat you with compassion and dignity. The food was always served cold. They consistently ran out of eating utensils, napkins, cups, and milk. They take everything from you, including your phone but expect you to get better with no access to music or any other therapeutic distractions. They rely on extremely intrusive and outdated tech to keep track of patients location and wellbeing. The chairs and mattresses are extremely hard and uncomfortable. If you end up here, good luck on getting better.
