Universal Health Services and NAMI

NAMI , National Alliance Mental Illness

Universal Health Services, (UHS, Inc.) in the news. UHS, Inc. is frequently in the news for substandard care, abuse, and fraud. Read More. http://failuretocare.com/

NAMI “National Alliance Mental Illness” takes money from UHS and says/does NOTHING about patient abuse.

http://www.nami.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Inform_Yourself/About_NAMI/Governance/Major_Foundation_and_Corporate_Support/WebRegistry1Q2013.pdf

As FailureToCare.com shows, instead of correcting the issues listed above, Universal Health Services (UHS Inc.) has taken an aggressive approach to silence their wrongdoing and has continued with their mantra of profits over patients. The numerous investigations, whistleblower lawsuits, patient lawsuits, etc… that are listed on that site tell the true story of the quality of care that is Universal Health Services (UHS Inc.).

“National Alliance on Mental Illness”
3803 N. Fairfax Drive, Suite 100
Arlington, VA 22203 • (800) 950-6264

Ask NAMI the so called "advocates" why they do nothing about this, http://nappp.org/pdf/uhs.pdf

-- Tue Jan 21, 2014 5:56 pm --

If anyone else has ever been abused at a UHS 'hospital' , help spread the word of this atrocity.

Here is a list of UHS abuse centers. http://uhsinc.com/behavioralhealthcare.php

NAMI , what a bad joke.

In 2004, NAMI opposed the placement of "black box" warnings on antidepressants determined to cause suicide in under-18 year olds, and in 2006 opposed black box warnings on ADHD drugs causing heart attack, stroke and sudden death in children in 2006. Despite overwhelming evidence of serious adverse cardiac events and sudden deaths caused by ADHD drugs, in 2006 NAMI took the position that the “black box” warning on ADHD drugs was “premature.”

Did you click on the link showing all the NAMI drug company money above yet ?

Also, on December 18, 2003, The New York Times exposed that NAMI had bused scores of protestors to a hearing in Frankfort, Kentucky, took out full page ads in Kentucky newspapers, and sent angry faxes to state officials, all to protest a state panel proposal to exclude the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa from Medicaid’s list of preferred medications. According to the article, “What the advocacy groups did not say at the time was that the buses, ads and faxes were all paid for” by the manufacturer of the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa, Eli Lilly

Patients hate Zyprexa , http://www.zyprexa-victims.com Thanks NAMI , the stuff almost killed me.

Lilly donated at least $3 million to NAMI. For its part, NAMI promotes the increased use of psychotropic drugs, and even lobbies for laws allowing mental patients to be forced to take antipsychotic drugs. The drugs most often prescribed for involuntary patients -- Janssen's Risperdal (risperidone) and Lilly's Zyprexa (olanzapine). NAMI's failure to inform its constituents about the danger these drugs pose for patients, and its continued aggressive promotion of these drugs despite the evidence, may be viewed as confirmation that NAMI is an extension of Lilly's marketing department.

The funding of NAMI by multiple pharmaceutical companies was exposed by the investigative magazine Mother Jones in 1999, including that an Eli Lilly & Company executive was then "on loan" to NAMI working out of NAMI headquarters !!!!!

What ???

-- Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:08 pm --

I am always going off topic , Please don't LABEL AND DRUG ME, PLEASE !!!

Anyway,

If anyone else has ever been abused at a UHS 'hospital' , help spread the word of this atrocity. Post the Failure to care link where people can find it.

Here is the list of UHS abuse centers again. http://uhsinc.com/behavioralhealthcare.php

http://failuretocare.com/how-you-can-help/

This site is dedicated to all the people who were harmed or killed in UHS facilities. Unlike NAMI they speak for those who have no voice, to protect others from experiencing the pain they endured.

Universal Health Services (UHS) is Fortune 500 hospital management company that operates "behavioral health" centers. Shares in UHS are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol: UHS)

They make hundreds of millions of dollars wile abusing patients.

http://www.google.com/search?q=universa ... es+profits

It's like they have a license to steal, I was googling the names of UHS facility and reading online reviews by former "patients", the common theme is : they lied on my medical records to keep me locked in there abusive facility, they assaulted me with drugs, its all about money, it was a nightmare...

This site lists many abuses http://psychcrimereporter.wordpress.com/tag/universal-health-services/

Universal Health Services donates to NAMI. For its part, NAMI promotes the increased use of psychotropic drugs, lobbies against civil/human rights and even lobbies for laws allowing prisoners of psychiatric facilities to be forced to take unwanted drugs.
