Lakeside Triage The Med Memphis TN. Abuse Of Patients Abusive to patients, Neglect of patients Refusal to administer prescription medicine to patients

A friend of mine was admitted to Lakeside triage for mental evaluation. He told his VA doctor that he didn't want to live in Memphis anymore. This psychology student decided that he didn't want to live anymore. So Dr Perkins of the Memphis VA hospital sent 3 police officers to my friends house and hauled him to Lakeside triage. We shall call him Mr. D for future references. Upon entering Lakeside triage he was met with a terrible odor of urine and human feces. I got the front door trying to visit him. The smell was overwhelming. Mr D. Was stripped of all his possessions and placed in a 10' x 30' holding cell with 15 others. There are no beds, Only hard Block house chairs. There are not enough of them. Imagine a Alzheimer's patient covered in urine and feces sitting down on you while you try to catch a nap. Mr D. Has terminal Cancer. He is on medications for pain and nausea. Mr D. Was denied his pain medication for 24 hours. He was denied his nausea medications for the same amount of time. At Lakeside triage the staff are rude and mistreat the patients. Mr. D. Was notified three times that his paper work had been faxed to MMHI. Then he was told that it is really being faxed this time. Mr. D was informed that MMHI has 1 hour to respond to the papers. They took 4 1/2. You cannot have water at lakeside. You have to beg for it and you had better keep your cup. They will not give another. There was no restroom facilities in the men's section because a homeless person kept stooping it up and letting it overflow. Nobody gets to keep their shoes. Nice mess to walk in I can imagine. The food in non describable. Think of rancid dumpster slop food that a dog won't eat. You almost have the description. The staff continuously play games with the patients minds. They blatantly lie to the patients. They will not tell the patient what is happening with them. They are rude to family and Attorneys also. The SPCA has rules that prohibit animals from being treated like humans are at Lakeside Triage. After 26 hours of dehumanizing treatment Mr. D. Was released within 5 minutes of getting to MMHI. They did not understand why he was not evaluated and released at Lakeside triage. Lakeside triage charged $7,600.00 for this treatment. Something has to be done about this situation. Humans cannot continue to be mistreated like this. If Mr. D didn't have a mental problem before he went in, he does now. Remember this part. Mr. D has terminal cancer. He will succumb to it within 6 months. They were afraid he was going to kill himself. So they abused him.
