I work part time at a Mental Health Assessment Center. In the past I worked for several Mental Health Facilities as a "Technician," or better termed goon. I assisted in restraining out of control patients while the Pscyh-Nurse administered sedatives. Currently I'm just in uniform to prevent violence against the staff.
A current trend I've encountered for some time now disturbs me. Drug dependant patients come in droves. Many are not insured. What's funny is the assessment center takes a lot of time with each case. They have to call hospitals, arrange a variety of services, and call a magistrate to generate commitment papers. It can be quite a wait.
People get belligerent with the staff. They come in, demand free service, and then complain about how long their free service is taking. Can you believe it? My free service isn't fast enough. I want immediate gratification with my free service.
