Last Thursday I took a client to HCMC (the county hospital for Minneapoilis- Hennepin County). Which is one of the most disgusting places I have ever been, a whole other post. No big deal I have taken her there before and sure I will again. Anyways she was there for a routine psych appt. We leave the appt., me assuming things are fine. We drive back to another county and have lunch. While eating she mentions that maybe she should have stayed at the hopsital, that things just aren't right. So I say fine we will go back no big deal. She tries to put up a fight but I remind her she shouldn't have brought it up to me if she didn't want to go. I don't work that way. So back to nastyville we go. On the way there on a pretty busy highway(= to loop 289 in Lbk) we see a car acting a fool. He swirves in front of me, I honk and we proceed. Well he continued to piss other cars off. Him and another car start playing games, crazy driver proceeds to pull over and get out of his car and walk in front of traffic. Mind you everyone is just watching him act crazy. I should have known things could only get worse. We make it to the hospital. I send her in and I make a call outside. While on the phone I see 2 ladies get out of the car. One would presume they are friends since they are riding together. They proceed in the hospital to minutes later the ladies be escorted out and yelling at each other. WOW!!!!!!!!!! I then go inside to sit and wait with my client. There is another women her 2 boys and her boyfriend. Well they are screaming at each other screaming cuss words telling each other to kill themselves. It was super awkward!!!!!!!!!!! Well they were victims of the tornado that hit here a few weeks ago and I feel real sorry for them. Although that women was acting so stupid in front of her kids but apparently the kids were use to it cause it did not phase them at all. I finally got out of there.
Fast forward to today..................................... my client is in the psych ward in nastyville and needs me to bring her some things. Being the nice person I am, I do it. I have been to a psych hospital in Big Spring, not really that bad. Well this was a whole other story. Not sure if it has to do with the hospital or what but it was awful. I felt so bad for my client. The crazy thing is is that everyone there was young, probably in the 20's. There was no organization, they let me in without checking ID or anything. Real safe!!!!!!!!! Granted now I realize I didn't know I was walking into more danger than I had been in. My client is severely depressed but I am not sure she is in the right place. I hate going to that hospital but the psych ward is awful. I am going to go bathe in bleach now due to it being so nasty!!!
