This hospital had a bad reputation for questionable care back in the 70s, and it looks like things haven't changed in the interim: just today, to was reported a 49 yeard-old woman died waiting for care in the psychiatric emergency room and the surveilance cameras showed no one checking her for over an hour. This is after she went into seizures, fell off her chair and died. \r

Do yourself a favor and have a list of hospitals in your wallet/purse you wish to be sent to in case of an emergency, especially a psychiatric one. Your life may depend on it.
Cons: Showing up may harm you, staff's first impulse is to medicate.
