Before someone else gets to it first. ;-)

People who do this work, for years on end, realize what you have to do is the best you can do to get through the day. It's not a battle every day, but stuff happens that makes you shake your head and wonder why do I do this... Most folks start out thinking they can change the world, and end up having the world change them. I've said this before, State hospitals don't get the easy ones. We get the ones who have burned every possible bridge, and are out of other options. We take in the indigent wack jobs. We are sent criminals by the court for evaluation. We get dump jobs from other facilities. So with this mixed bag we have to do our best to keep everyone of them safe, fed, and cared for in the most humane way possible. You wouldn't believe how hard that can be some days. Bad days make you want to eat your own liver. Good days just leave ya saying phew, made it.

Almost makes you think that ALL people, even staff, might be human, eh? I have always wondered why anyone would do this sort of work, and am shocked and impressed by the good care that the majority of staff, under what could best be described as combat conditions on a bad day, give to the majority of patients/clients/ individuals. Staff endure high stress, low control, low pay, low respect, bizarre/regressed behavior, and always the ever-present threat of being sniped at by self-righteous outsiders who don't have a clue and would probably react MUCH more harshly if their own pure selves were in the same situation. Until you have been bitten, had urine and feces thrown at you, had your hair pulled out in clumps, and had to dodge flying pieces of very large, very heavy furniture, there isn't a person alive who can predict how s/he will react. As always, the shock isn't that abuse occurred/occurs - the shock is that as little of it happened/happens given the constraints under which staff are forced to work and the people who live in these places are forced to live. Change the system and you'll probably get a change in behavior. Sit at your computer and call people names without getting off your butt and all you do is help maintain the system. Get out there and help or please quit whining and groaning.

Or at least, to quote Ashleigh Brilliant one more time, "If you must keep groaning, please try to do it in a rhythm I can dance to." :-)
