Its not just mental health care. There were some really bad things that happened in the medicsl hospital when my mom was dying of cancer but it was like the elephant in the room. Then because of the trauma that occured, I ended up in the same medical hospital beingtreated for anorexia. I got all ourrecords after my mom died because I knew what I saw & experienced. I wanted to know what was really written down. Nothing thathit mead something I could gi after them for but they gave out information to a person not legally authorized to have it whuch was a serious part of the trauma I ended up going through with the person who claimed to be the home care person. My mom also kept asking me when she was going to get better after telling me not to interfear becsuse her MD would tell her everything she needed to know. He never told her she was a fool for ignoring a very treatable cancer until it was stsge 4....like he told me she was...not that I didnt already know it....but thats not something people get formally dx'ed with anyway.....I think hospital situations of all kinds get messy & complicated & are never straight forward like the records make it look for insursnce purposes
