I just called my PDOC who use to head the unit, and asked who in the organization I could write a letter to and if it would do any good. I am waiting for his call. My husband works within in the same system but at another hospital.
He is very angry about the whole thing. With our insurance to get the best benefit and least amount of out of pocket cost, we have to stay within the system. So this is the only Psyc unit I can go to without paying a lot of money.
It is very sad, this unit although physically it is still great, single rooms and bathrooms, has gone down quickly in level of care. The fashion themselves to be a award winning hospital, but the Psyc unit does not fit the bill.
In 2011 I went to John Hopkins Hospital for a 12 day inpatient stay, for a consultation. John Hopkins is rated number 1 in the country for Psychiatric. Things my local Psyc unit stopped doing are things John Hopkins does and feel are important to treatment. I would love to point these out in a letter.
