As a health care professional myself, I was appalled at the quality of treatment I received at WPIC. I was allowed to scream in untreated physical pain while i waited for a psych eval for hours with no option to leave or reach out to my friends or family for help. I waited for 6 hours to be "evaluated" in 5 minutes by Dr. Peter Murray, who by the way, does not seem to be a doctor as he told me he doesn't prescribe medicines??? I took a big step in my life by acknowledging that my treatments weren't working attempting to reach out for help through resolve crisis network, and they sent me to WPIC, and Doctor Murray literally chuckled at my major self injuries and said that I am just attention seeking and dismissed all of my worries about my meds as if I was making them up. He refused to admit me to help straighten out my meds and get real help. I am so disappointed in the UPMC health system. I feel more suicidal now than when I decided to check myself in, but I would never go back to that place. I would rather die.
