Tara Unfiltered 🌹 Oh, that's a quotable quote if I've ever heard one: 'It's the professionals who lack insight, not the patients. I know! I've been both.'
Rob Wipond Another patient who was believed to be homeless by the psychs, asserted he owned a home in an expensive suburb, which the psychs wrote off as delusional without doing a title search online to verify that he in fact owned a home there. Too many more examples
Rob Wipond I remember one patient who was angry to be detained and stated she knew her rights bc she's a lawyer. Psychs called that delusional. Eventually the risk manager of the hospital just looked up her name on the state bar website and told the psychs she's actually a lawyer

I propose 'Bingle Amendment' to mean a proposal that is both ridiculous and dangerous. 'that's a Bingle Amendment' or 'you Bingled it'. In contrast, fantastic informative reporting by journalist Jonathan Kirkpatrick who knows a thing or two about incarceration. Respect. Inspiring.
