From the bed of Garth Daniels – Monash University Teaching Hospital.
I have been shackled to a bed in four-point restraint for nine weeks… given intramuscular injections which cause akathisia (inability to sit or stand still, also known as restless legs syndrome). Then given a drug to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – causing itching and hives on the skin – which you cannot scratch because you are shackled to a bed.
What they don’t tell you is that the DVT drug is actually to prevent DVT caused by the intramuscular injection drug Acuphase which actually can give rise to DVT.
Then because of the violent reaction of akathisia you spit and scream at staff – you are labelled violent – then your carers are told you are in a life threatening situation – they must release you from restraints. And, the only way you will be released from restraint is to be shocked – SHOCKED with an electrical current to your brain to quell your violent behaviour which they attribute to your chronic condition they call treatment resistant schizophrenia.
You are beaten up by another patient who breaks your arm and your finger when you are allowed out of restraint. They call Code Black – police arrive – they shackle you to the bed again. No one asks you what happened; they just assume you did it because you are labelled violent. You are given a further blood clotting prevention drug in your stomach but you bleed from the wounds inflicted by the patient who by now is discharged. Just 12 shocks for you Garth. That should quieten you down. Then you are told we are going to lock you away and give you clozapine. Don’t worry about your heart and you certainly don’t need to worry about your brain, we’ve got that under our control mate.
My crime? Twenty years ago when I was twenty years old, I took some recreational drugs and did some stupid things. Then the Mental Health system in Victoria thought they knew how to fix my drug problem, with even more dangerous drugs than the ones that got me into trouble in the first place. The authorities forced these drugs and restraints on me without my consent. You can do that legally in Gulag Victoria in 2015. This could happen to your kids or you or anyone who gets caught up in our ironically named mental health system. Once you are labelled a mental deviant they can throw away the keys, lock you up and shock you until your memories are gone too.
