I had two nurses that cared for me the best, one by the name of Brian, I believe, and another older man. (that was in the psych department.)

There was a young man that came in for suicidal behavior and violence the only reason why I knew this is because the staff was violating HIPAA... Although this patient was violent, he didn't deserve everyone, including other patients to know about his condition, where he lived, what his birthday was, his full name, and things about his very much personal life. This patient also didn't deserve being harassed by a lady cop outside of the door. I understand that Metro Health deals with ALL walks of life, but I didn't feel like I, and from what I understood from other patients that Metro Health staff was very helpful.

When I finally spoke with the psychiatrist, I'm not sure if she was actually a psychiatrist or not. I was being accused of being a drug addict and kept being asked multiple times if I needed drug counseling, if I was withdrawing from any medication and or drugs that I was taking in the past, because I was taking benzos. My urine test came back positive for benzos. Which I had mentioned to the doctors before that I had taken benzos (Valium) to self medicate my anxiety. I actually was completely sober during my visit and weeks prior.(so I know I had a very low dose of Valium in my system) they actually wouldn't answer when I asked them what my levels were. I don't feel the psych department looked at me like a sober woman looking for help. I came in there on my own looking for help. And I received nothing but accusations of being a drug addict and constantly being asked if I felt like I wanted to hurt someone or hearing voices. I thought to myself "how can you keep asking me these things if you're not actually listening and taking into consideration my actual symptoms."
It was completely unfair.

This has been a long time coming, including from the women and children's department at Metro Health Medical center, but this broke me. I will not be coming to metro health ever again. I'm extremely disappointed in all the staff and who Metro Health Medical Center actually is. Metro Health Medical Center does not take people into consideration. Maybe a few select doctors and nurses do, and patience seeing those staff members are very fortunate, but other staff, I'm extremely disappointed. Metro Health Medical Center needs to stand beside their word and not hide behind it. These nurses and doctors went to school to be specifically nurses and doctors... Not a medical television show, and to mock human beings with serious illnesses and or be in violation of the HIPAA act. Metro Health Medical Center, you should be ashamed.
