As someone who's had several psych admissions, the panorama doc didn't shock me. When I was one of the wards one of the support staff told me if I really wanted to die DESCRIPTION OF SUICIDE METHODS WITHDRAWN BY MNHQ we used to hear the night staff bitching about patients, checks often weren't preformed correctly- I was 5 minute checks for awhile and on multiple occasions wasn't checked for 45mins to an hour. Patients get locked out of their rooms as its "easier" for staff to deal with but this can sometimes be for over 24 hours and there's not really any place for them to sleep outside of the room. And then when you get discharged in alot of cases there's almost zero follow up for a while which means people end up bouncing back in. Rooms where frequently stripped and it took could weeks for people to get their stuff back, with some often wearing the same clothes for several days.
Obviously what happened at the hospital on panorama was dangerous and they absolutely deserve to be shut down but did anyone else not actually find it shocking?
