Review of Carrier Clinic

I was a patient at the Carrier Clinic several year...

I was a patient at the Carrier Clinic several years ago the therapy staff was good however I received ECT treatments that eventually lead to a very serious injury. I was a patient for 4 days and then discharged when I came back my psychiatrist asked me if the ECT treatment was helpful I told him no he said he was going to increase the dosage. When I woke up I had extreme pain in my arm I knew there was something wrong they said I must have came like that to the clinic Insane! I went to the hospital in an ambulance and the hospital stated that the head of my humerus and the shaft fo my humerus was broken and I found out that my rotator cuff was ripped the Labyrinth was ripped the bones were crushed together misaligned it was a mess and the surgeon said that they probably couldn't fix it I've been working as an occupational therapist since with great pain it's been very difficult I lost my lawsuit they said that they gave me literature stating that that can happen which is a lie. I became very depressed and to the point that my darling husband left me. I am i still in pain when I move my arm. At the time of my injury I did some research and I realized there probably was probably a lack of communication between the psychiatrist and the anesthesiologist . didn't give me enough muscle relaxants or anesthesia. Years ago when they didn't give anesthesia nor muscle relaxants patients had the same kind of injuries including injuries to the spinal cord thank God I didn't have that although I think I have one jn my lower vertebrae This was a very horrible experience that I still can't get out of my mind till this day I hope nobody has to go through this lots of luck in your journey with your depression and or illness goodbye.
