Yeah, I've lost count of how many times I've seen a headline "Kaiser being sued for...". They're always doing something stupid. I talked to a lady online whose son was put on Prozac without the doctor even seeing him. He was 13 at the time. She said she kept calling Kaiser, saying he was acting weird, and he wasn't right, and they kept telling her to keep making him take it. Finally, after about 6 months, he attempted (and failed) suicide. At that point, she switched. The worst thing was, the prescribing doctor was supposed to be the head of child psychiatry! She says she wants to sue, but hasn't taken action. But, I've heard the phrase "Kaiser Permanente = Kills People". So, I think Kaiser takes part in many unethical practices, mostly because the majority of their patients A) don't know any better and B) can't afford to go somewhere else. Unfortunately for them, I HAVE been to other mental health facilities, and I am QUITE aware of their shortcomings. If my schizophrenic uncle had to use them, I think he'd rather just stay crazy. LOL. Yep, I'll get away from them ASAP, which is looking like January.
