time of day or them being a better mood doesnt change anything.
at all.
plus the fact that this is a community mental health clinic. its so rampant its disgusting.
when you goto a community clinic they deal with the low income or severely mentally debiliated or homeless or felons etc etc.
and those are the places that get the worse treatment socially. they may have lots of programs but the people are treated like crap there.
theres a reason why they private psychiatrists&therapists. becaause community clinics are overworked - underpaid - employ some of the worst people. majority literally. but not every single employee.
every time i go in there i see how the people are treated. its not always bad but theres too many negatives for the place to be called "great".

unfortunately for someone like me. im near the low income line. plus my insurance will be cut out and ill be on medicare at 23 years old.
whoopee I NEVER thought my life would be THIS bad. the illness is BAD enough.
but lets go ahead and add financial struggle and social struggle at that.

sorry .now im ranting. out of sadness. fear. anger.
You can write a letter anonymously to Adm. (or even formally report anonymously to ombudsman) so that they can talk to the staff, give them a heads up and reminder to THINK before they talk. Believe me they Will listen. Even if just for a while. Also, yes they are in violation of HIPAA---but remember privacy was expected Before HIPAA and this act gives unprecedented access to your records by ins. co. and others as it was more concerned with making e records transferable---be aware.
