I was psychology and physically tortured in Kern Valley Medical Center in Fresno, Ca decades ago fellow citizen Johnny Profane Âû.
In fact I suffered with a broken left finger for a week as the staff made jokes as it became more swollen and painful and purple.
But it was nothing compared to the psychological and physical torture of those around me, some completely psychotic and unaware even of where they were.
However my patient advocate, Day Armstrong, could do nothing.
And yes I know his name is ironic, but that is actually what it was. We used to laugh about it a lot, and in dire circumstance every joy was comfort.
In the end I was taken into a room the night before I was to be released and threatened by my torturers, headed by Dr. Wally and Nurse Nancy, and told if I made any complaints I would be declared psychotic and not released.
And the next morning I was marched into an office at the end of the hall, physically right before the exit, where one of the lead administrators of Kern Valley Medical Center asked me if I had any complaints.
I hope someone who reads this will not believe it, and demand more details and investigate what I've said believing I am lying.
Only to discover it is true.
