You have to fully strip there is a male officer on other side of curtains the male officer check bra and such. You then have to squat and cough some have to lift their breast up. You can't even cover them. While there I've heard make say they have to lift their balls up.

All the places I ve been there has been some sort of visual body search...some places allowed underwear others didn't. All hospital stays my trauma history has been well established. Some were specialized units to deal with trauma. The search process differed at each place. At some it was really short but others took their time and that was a huge problem for me. Also, in some places there was alot of reassuring verbal cues...others were just silent or verbal commands like turn around. I think the places that took the time to make it quick, provide context, and remind of safety did the best job.<br /><br />I apologize for grammar/spelling this was done on my phone.Kryssnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-32564337835499380912012-04-11T01:24:50.927-04:002012-04-11T01:24:50.927-04:00testing if I can post, it seems some trojans were ...testing if I can post, it seems some trojans were interfering with my seeing the word verifies . . . wonder wth someone in romania wants with my info, probably to access accounts. ugh.

This comment is regarding an older, very popular post you guys have made, found here: http://psychiatrist-blog.blogspot.com/2007/02/why-docs-dont-like-xanax-some-of-us.html<br />You've mentioned the issues with benzos and abuse, withdrawal, etc. But I feel one of the biggest problems regarding this issue is that 1. many physicians are not prepared to undertake benzo withdrawal and often mistake symptoms of benzo withdrawal for other ailments; and 2. I have seen many patients experience a prolonged withdrawal syndrome after stopping them. Some people, even people who weaned off of them, have had withdrawal symptoms last for months, up to 2 years in some folks. Talk about draining the system - these people have had every medical test known to man only to find that they are fine with the exception of withdrawal symptoms, and these people made a full recovery after around 1-2 years of being off the drug. Could you please look into this issue and perhaps address it in any future posts?Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-58959279875105506592012-04-08T14:10:47.494-04:002012-04-08T14:10:47.494-04:00Thats funny.

Shame on you for your comments on "poll" vs "survey". Your son may know the difference between survey and poll, but is your son learning basic human kindness from you?<br /><br />The words poll and survey are used very loosely in our society, so I can easily understand using one where the other belongs. I know the difference between active and passive transport, between phospholipids and glycolipids, and between intrinsic and extrinsic proteins, but I don't really know all that much about polls and surveys. What I do know for certain is that I would not come on anybody's blog and tell them that my 11-year-old son knows better. <br /><br />Perhaps you might reflect on what causes you to be nasty, just for the sake of being nasty. It is not an admirable trait. You should be embarrassed.Sunny CAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451116932556227816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-13477645802311945262012-04-08T12:48:50.960-04:002012-04-08T12:48:50.960-04:00BTW, at one of the seders I asked my 11-year old i...BTW, at one of the seders I asked my 11-year old if he knew the difference between a poll and a survey.

I'm not sure the hospital type matters so much, but I was curious, so far, no one was in a state hospital. Remember, I'm a curious blogger, not a researcher. I figured I just wanted a trend for places that do this, and I figure once a poll....ummm...survey takes more than a minute, no one wants to bother.Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-33545907885183039592012-04-07T02:05:46.207-04:002012-04-07T02:05:46.207-04:00I haven't had to endure a strip search as such...I haven't had to endure a strip search as such, so I selected 'no'.<br /><br />At 14 however, I was forced to strip COMPLETELY naked and stand in different positions while two male doctors talked about my body and pubertal development while drawing pictures. This was when admitted for anorexia nervosa. <br /><br />There was a young female nurse ring in -- to protect THEM. Not me. It remained extremely distressing. Oh and by the way the also wanted to do this in front of a large group of student doctors.

I just don't. That knowledge is one of the few things keeping me from hating myself entirely, these days.<br /><br />They took away my method, earlier this week, so I guess I'm safe, unless I get really desperate and figure something else out, which I might.<br /><br />In my head I know making big decisions right now would be stupid, since I'm being swayed, affected by the mania, but on the other hand it FEELS like I NEED risky, edgy, dangerous stuff like I need to breathe.
