What about Ridge Creek?
Lacey:
"The easiest, and quickest way to see if someone is faking unconsciousness is to lightly brush your finger against their eyelashes. If their eyes flicker, then they are almost certainly faking it. Also if they try to keep their eyes closed when you try to open them, they are definitely faking it. Another way of checking is to hold their hand over their face, and let it drop. People tend to be reluctant to let their hand hit them on the nose, and so the hand will instead magically drop to one side."
If staff was truly trying to just see if he was faking, there are MANY other ways this could be done as opposed to physically harming him. Why the sudden rush to the most extreme measure? Hmmm...

I just searched "Sternum Rub" on google and found this site. I'd never even heard of a sternum rub, had no idea what it was. Doesn't suprised me staff resorted to this measure first instead of a more common sense approach to the situation.
Edited to add....
"So there are other painful stimuli, one of which (my favourite) is the ?sternal rub?, where you rub the knuckles of your hand against the patient?s breast-bone. Some lilly-livered people think that this assessment is too close to assault, but I would ask them to consider that if we didn?t get drunks to wake up, we would be forced to undertake invasive medical procedures on them in order to ensure that their airway is clear. If you can tolerate my sternal rub then there is something seriously wrong with you, and you need emergency treatment ? but if you wake up then I have effectively ?cured? you."
This article also refers to the sternum rub, but in dealing with DRUNKS. A person who may be completely incapacitated and pain is the only stimuli that will bring them out of their INCAPACITATED state. NOT just on a child in a mental care facility whose trying to get attention.[/i]
