[QUOTE="C.J., post: 248225, member: 1987"] When N* was hospitalized after hallucinating on Lexapro, that week the suicidality warnings for juveniles were published from the British Psychiatric Board (the equivalent to the APA in America). N* hates reading, and when they gave her the unit handbook (60 - 70 pages), she did not read it. To top it off, she had been in the ER since the previous evening, and didn't make it into a room until almost 7:00 a.m. She was understandably tired and wanted to sleep. I explained all of this to the staff, I was assured everything would be ok - until she broke a rule she never knew about - being asleep in her room during the day! ARGH. I got no satisfaction from the floor supervisor, his supervisor, and I finally asked for the person for whom the buck stopped. I spoke to the director of the mental health unit at this hospital (with a stellar reputation in our community) and asked him if he'd like to be treated like his adolescent patients. I kept my composure, barely, but he knew I was going to make a lot of noise if he didn't get somebody with gray matter between their ears to reverse some stupid rules and apologize to my kid. I hold learned adults with numerous initials behind their names to a much higher degree of excellence and professionalism than I do my teenage difficult child - and I'm not afraid to tell them that. Wherever you end up next - document everything! Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
