Peninsula Village Ravaged by Norovirus
« on: June 02, 2007, 10:01:57 AM »
A Blount County Health Dept. official confirmed last week that they were investigating a gastrointestinal virus that sickened more than fifty patients at Peninsula Village, a residential treatment center for troubled teens in Louisville TN. Repeated calls to the nurses station at PV were not returned but an inside source confirmed the outbreak was one of the group of Norovirus.

Man...that was supposed to be top secret, but seems to have leaked out.  Blount County will only confirm there has been a viral outbreak of a gastrointestinal nature.  When I called the Blount County Health Dep't, they wanted to know who I was, how I knew, and what was my interest in the matter.  I'm not saying there's anything unsavory about the Health Dept. and PV's silence concerning a massive outbreak of NV, or suggesting there's any collusion going on, but...

Considering PV's very costly legal settlement after an outbreak of E. Coli in 1999, they have a strong interest in keeping this latest fecal/oral transmitted virus under wraps.  The big question is, were the parents of the infected kids told of the outbreak, or were the parents told individually, with PV depending on the lack of communication they allow the kids (and the parents) to shield them from litigation or a massive exodus of patients as parents wisely sought safer and more sanitary quarters for their kids.

I haven't read or heard anything about this on the news. I don't know what they are required to report, but it seems to me that PV is close enough to several residential areas that some public announcement would be required if this report is true.
If anyone turns up a link I would be interested in seeing it.

PV PARENT CONFIRMS OUTBREAK!
« Reply #4 on: June 06, 2007, 10:38:15 PM »
A PV parent has confirmed the Norovirus outbreak at the facility on CAFETY.

"Yes, there was a virus going around and we were notified immediately. Maybe if it happened before they have learned from it, because I received an telephone call immediately and regular updates by phone and email."

Damn, rather unconcerned about a potentially fatal virus caused by shit-to-mouth transmission...

Course, I'm under the impression this poster's a troll trying to do damage control...a damage control troll...I like that.

Anyway, there you have it, confirmation of a second outbreak of a  nasty gastrointestinal virus caused by some foul sanitation at PV.  First E. Coli, now Norovirus.  Whats next out there, Bubonic plague?

Hi guys,
I've been lurking on this board for a while and this is my first time posting.  I found it by searching "Peninsula Village" with "abuse" because those two are synonymous to me after my stay there from October 2000 - May 2001.  I would like to tell my whole story eventually to anyone who would like to hear it as my time there is something I have never gotten over and probably never fully will.  I still think about it every day and have frequent nightmares.  I just wanted to respond to this post right now to let you guys know that there was a HORRENDOUS outbreak of the rotavirus during my stay there.  I believe it made its way around "camp" during February '01.  There was hardly a patient among us who was not infected and I was disgusted to learn later that it is yet another ass-to-mouth infection.  I still regard that week as one of the most hellish of my life, though it should have been a welcome reprieve because the infected staff were too weak and sick to verbally, emotionally, or physically abuse any of us.  We were quarantined together and they wouldn't separate the sick from the not-yet-sick, so we all got the pleasure of sitting around and waiting to puke and shit our guts out for 5 solid days.  I couldn't even keep down the abhorrent liquid diet of foul, watery broth, 7Up, and Jello.  When my stomach stopped rejecting everything put down and I was starving for a real meal, I was deprived for another three days because they said I had not finished all of my liquid diet while sick and couldn't have real food until I proved I could keep down the liquids.  Irritable and hungry, I was of course restrained for raising my voice in response.  Do they have a word for the opposite of nostalgia?

Yes, it's called traumatic flashbacks.

Abbie Hoffman said "Nostalgia is a mild form of depression,".   Any memories associated with PV can't be mild.

Welcome to Fornits, antilifeequation, or at least to posting.  My step daughter spent six months in STU at PV.  Please, tell your story, there are quite a few other PV survivors on the forum now.

You were at PV from 10/00-5/01?  You just missed the E. Coli outbreak.  Damn, how many ass-to-mouth infections have there been at PV?  When Catherine Russe nearly died from E. Coli contracted at PV, the Daily Times reported:

According to the suit, personnel at Peninsula Village failed to comply with "statutory and regulatory provisions," resulting in the personnel serving contaminated food that was unreasonably dangerous and/or in a defective condition.

Wow...this is some crucial info here... I have to say though, that I am totally not surprised at all. Disgusting pig scums are the staff of Peninsula Village.
Whats next on their list of infinite failures?

How much more will be taken of their bullshit?
