Peninsula Hospital in Louisville, Tennessee

Macadamia:
I never met a Filipino staff member or one who resembled a portly boy bander. The guy I'm thinking of looked more like a scruffy J. Crew model. What does one have to do to be fired from a dreadful place like PV, I wonder?

The admission of a rapist, clearly in violation of their guidelines, is more proof (not that more is needed!) that the Village exists for less than honorable reasons. How disgusting that there are people in power who care more about money than about the safety and health of our young people. The pregnancy bit is interesting as well. I read a glowing endorsement of PV by a brainwashed young lady who was signed in while she was pregnant (I believe it was in one of the Village newsletters). I suppose she had a rich daddy too, or at least one with excellent insurance.

PH is no doubt the lesser of two evils, but they did tell some lies to my parents. Upon my admission, Mom and Dad were told that they could expect a phone call from me later that day after I'd gotten settled, but the counselors denied me use of the phone and told me it was against the rules. It could be that the admissions folks don't know what's going on in the murky depths of PH.. The counselors also refused to let me call my mother to come and get me on the day of my release, saying that she knew I was getting out that day and would come when she wanted to. I didn't know at the time, but my mom had been informed by one of the counselors earlier that week that I hadn't progressed to the next level and the psychiatrist assigned to me probably wouldn't sign for my release on the day originally planned. One of my roommates was released the same day and left in the morning, but I had to go through another day of group therapy and utter boredom while I waited for my mother to pick me up. She was startled when she arrived at 7 or 8 PM and saw that my bags were packed. I was almost crying because the counselor made me believe that my mom didn't want to pick me up sooner. Thank God it was a visitation day, or else they probably would have kept me longer! They tacked those extra hours onto the bill, of course. It's all about the money with those people.

No one knows why the firings took place, that's the problem.  PV won't say because if we knew the reason it might be used again, either at PV or some other program with similarly abusive practices.  The terminations started with the head of Parkwest, then the administrator of PV, the clinical director, the psychiatrist, the Filipino guy who was toadie to the clinical director, and a long-time therapist.  Not a reassuring sign to desperate parents when the treatment team gets axed in short order.  The educational team went through changes, too.

Yep.  PV (and I guess PH was included, too) was sued by two former Peninsula Behavioral Health employees for discrimination.  The employees were told to change the focus of some patients treatment from mental to substance abuse when insurance coverage for mental health ran out.  The two employees refused and claimed it led to them being fired.  That methodology explains why Pegler forces all the kids to admit to addictions, regardless of why they were admitted.  All about the money.

Bastards.

The  psychiatric facility the shooter was committed to in February has not been named in the local news. Although Parkwest sold Peninsula Village last November they still own Peninsula Hospital across the street. To my knowledge, it is the only local facility he could have been committed to.
Taking a risk here, but after my experience with Peninsula Village, NOTHING that goes on in ANY Covenant Health Concern surprises me. That includes implanting a tracking chip during an appendectomy...

Oscar:
Hopefully they manage to examine his body before they burn it. I remember that an undertaker ask some of my relatives if their father had an artificial kneecap because they discovered some metal along with the ashes.

While he was in the hospital they were watching for a thief who stole from the staff and the patients. Among those things missing was an expensive watch owned by the doctor who operated their father.
