Such a shame, Dr. Sylvain Laniel wasn't helpful to me or my parents at all. We felt even more restless, and anxious. Plus, he gave me medication by injection, which I had strongly refused. Still forced it on me physically and they injected me several times, which as a side effect due to this medication, I had a severe allergic reaction. I will not list the symptoms here, because they were many, some even showed in my blood test results (my prolactin was very high: about 200, CK was more than 200 and others like my MPV were also high)... My mental and physical health was worse when I left the hospital then when I had entered and he even kept me there for several months, way too long for no apparent reason, which made me even more depressed and anxious, as the environment there isn't relaxing or calming, because most patients are very noisy and some violent (which I understand, because they are mostly sick, but just saying it's not reassuring). I've seen and heard things I thought I would never... Though some of the few staffs there are very kind and caring, rare are they. It's refreshing to see them be authoritative, but honestly compassionate at the same time, I wish they were more of them. On an other note, most of the staff use violent means, are uncompassionate, don't take their jobs seriously and spend most of their time just talking and laughing out loud during the night, just in front of the patients rooms. One of the staff members also provoked and insulted me, but I did not react, just looked at him unpleasantly. Also if you want to feel safe and at ease, this is definitely not the place to go to treat your health, worst experience ever. Security is very absent, they'll show up, but when something important actually happens in any room, though there are cameras, they do nothing at all, as if their not even keeping an eye on things. They should also be there to protect us from harm, not just to intervene if the rules aren't followed. Very disappointing and traumatizing, if I can say the least, experience and I went there a few times, but my 2 recent ones were the worst. Lastly, every patient is different, even if their diagnosis might be similar, doctors and staff should treat each one differently considering their needs, but with the same level of respect, as we are humans and not animals. Most patients there are sleep deprived or don't sleep at all for several days if not weeks, so the brain can't function normally, and we might say things that don't make sense out of fatigue and irritation, but that doesn't make us any less intelligent and we shouldn't be treated in such a rough way, as most of us remember everything that happened afterwards and will not forgive the doctors and staff members that treated us so poorly, because they are educated in that field and should know what they are doing wrong. Sadly, as patients we have to live with these memories and deal with them for a very long period of time, before the memories become less vivid or disturbing. I hope one day there will be doctors and staff members that respect the patients, listen, try to understand them and their actions, give more time to the patient before administering any medication in order not to do it against their will, be patient and compassionate. As patience goes hand in hand with compassion, you can not have one without the other. This being said, if you do not have a human heart, please do not try to help others, because things will get worse for them if you are not genuine in your approach: As sincere caring is always felt, but false concern is easily discerned. Even though I can still go on... I've completed my essay, Thank you
