I am in the USA, I have been hospitalized at at least 6 different facilities. I have had only one of those where they did a skin check. The others did not. I was hospitalized for suicidal ideation. I don't know how it is in Canada. I hope if you need help you'll ask for something at least. I would say if you are fearful of doing a strip search that you discuss that with your T. Hopefully T will know which ones or can call before you go. At least you'll know that way. It will also help the T to give you the best care.

You deserve the best care!!
