God willing and the Hospital will hear

    So, if my family is as innocent as they say, then that only leaves the hospital. My concern is that it's happened twice now. Once at CCBH and once at Memorial. They keep diagnosing me psychotic when I'm not psychotic. I'm told there's not much SC DHEC can do about that. My concern is that at some point in the future I'll need to go back to the hospital for some reason or another. Last time at memorial I was more careful about my communication. I made sure to be very clear about what the problem was, what I needed, etc. I have discussed with my team writing a letter to the hospital administration about my concerns. If they are not part of the problem, they can be part of the solution. I need to stop the cycle of changing my diagnoses and my symptoms to match the prejudices of the staff. It's not actually helping anyone. 

    I don't have the energy that I had when I was younger, and I'm losing patience for this, especially when it devolves into long hospital stays, threats, or not getting what I need. I had this desire for Memorial to be on my side, seeing as my family has been so long associated with that hospital. I think that they would prefer to be on the same side, but can't see past their own preconceptions and the legacy of Prichards. Thing is, I don't think even Prichards would be proud of the hospital's behavior. He was all about listening and acting based on facts. He had his own faults and preconceptions, but he would not defend the lack of listening that has been going on. I believe he would find it against his principles. 

    Thankfully, for now, unless I'm in some unexpected accident or unforeseen circumstances, I doubt I will be back at the hospital any time soon. I really like the way the medication is working right now. I have a detailed understanding of how each medication contributes to the full picture. I know what to expect if I happen to run out or we have to adjust a dose. The routine has become much more predictable.
