Documentation

Documenting some of the events that take place at The Royal.

If I go into a coma, please don't let them use a catheter.

When I was a child, one of the many times my mom took me to CHEO they did a procedure on my penis. I was told afterwards that they pierced my urethra. I started peeing blood. Rhona, who was a nurse before, documented filling yogurt containers full of blood. The

I need a hug.

I love hugs. But maybe that is unrealistic until I am discharged. (I even gave the man that verbally threatened to kill me twice one. But he has since been transferred to a different unit. Maybe one of the staff members, under supervision, will allow me to give them a

Another day... Another e-mail.

Hi (Client & Family Relations Team Manager) and (Unit Manager), I was so optimistic in my interactions with (the nurse that was shouting at me yesterday) the nurse this morning. She was taking my medical concerns so seriously. She, and (name), came to the bathroom to investigate the wound on

Should my lawyer threaten my privilege levels while I am a psychiatric prisoner?

This doesn't seem ethical at all. What's happening, Abba? I don't know where it came from, but I got the urge to watch Andy Duresne in Shawshank Redemption again (and I did with some movie theatre popcorn and a large coca-cola, even!) to work

An email to Dr. Rogers (who is on vacation til the 28th)

A night nurse told me I need to call a man a woman. I told her I answer to God, that will treat him with love and respect, but I will not buy in to that delusion, I simply will not. I am delusional for believing in Jesus according to

Staff acting really casual about what's happening in my scrotum

I'd rather die than take pharmakeia. Told many of the nurses and orderlies what was happening in my scrotum. Showed it to two nurses, even. Around supper time. They say the doctor will come by tomorrow to look at it. I hope her eyebrows grow back. The Greatest

If they force me to take pharmakeia one more time...

Emailed to the Client & Family Relations Team Manager. Emailed to my in-patient doctor (Dr. Rogers) who left unexpectadly approximately a week ago on vacation. Emailed to my out-patient doctor (Dr. Baines) whose care I was under during the last stay I had at The Royal where I was forced

Talked to the nurses / social worker / and unit manager about, and emailed the covering in-patient doctor, and Dr. Rogers these questions.

Can I have privileges to go on grounds? (If NO, why?) (If NO) Can I have privileges to go to the Schizophrenia North courtyard by myself (it is enclosed and has a security camera) (If NO, why?) Can I get an orderly to take me to Service Ontario? I need
