The Priory - AIBU?!

Okay so changed my name for this...

To try and cut a long story short, I'm fucking fuming.

So last year I was sent to The Priory mental health unit. For those of you who don't know what this is, The Priory is a private company who supplies rehab, mental health unit etc. Celebrities use this.

I was very unwell last year, and there were no bed spaces under the NHS. So the NHS actually funded me to stay there at a disgusting rate of £600 a day.

In that time, I ended up having what I now realise is an inappropriate relationship with a psychiatric nurse at this hospital.

I was there for severe PTSD from a sexual assault. I was psychotic, hallucinating the lot.

This member of staff took advantage of me big time. I had been raped, he knew this, but still thought it was ok to have a relationship with me? I don't remember a lot, I was on a lot of medications at the time and the hospital would just drug you up.

So the hospital found out and suspended him instantly then struck him off. I've tried to put in complaint after complaint. All I want is a public apology and they won't give it to me.

They've turned off their ability to leave reviews on their page, the hospital page has disappeared.

When I got a bit better I reported them to CQC governing body. In the last month, I've been informed that they are now under investigation.

I saw so much bad shit there, patients left to harm themselves. One patient was left for 2 hours banging her head against the wall because they couldn't be bothered to intervene. She was a schizophrenic.

I don't even know why I'm posting about this, I'm just so angry that they won't even acknowledge anything. It was an even more traumatic time being there than if I was left alone.

AIBU for pushing this after so many months to get my apology?

Manic with respect I think that's quite a dangerous way of thinking. We should start from a point of being open minded to concerns raised by those who are inpatients. I appreciate that some may not have merit but that's true of the wider community.

As a carer now I think mental health services are awful - that's not an unusual view at all amongst parents. We can't all be wrong or not thinking properly.
