Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 i was in the public psych ward and the psychiatrist that I seen there just gave it to me as an option. It’s not always an option apparently. There was a bit of a wait for ECT in the public system.

I just had a support worker come visit me. My usual one is away for a week, so another lady came to visit and she said that once you have been here once, it’s a bit easier to get in again as a public patient. You can ask when you present to ED for an admission, but it’s not always available. For a 3 week stay here, it’s about $91,000

Ah okay thank you for that information @Bow

Wont your private health cover the $91,000 if you have it?

It looks like I’ll have to go through public as I can’t cope feeling like this for another six weeks.

@Birdofparadise8 I don’t have private health!

Oh so do you have to pay it @Bow?

Gosh no!! @Birdofparadise8 The government pays it. I’m here as a public patient.

Oh so you’re at a private hospital as a public patient @Bow

Correct @Birdofparadise8 🙂

That’s cool @Bow

How are you going tonight?

Im at work.

when I saw my doctor I nearly cried that it’s hard to get admitted to inpatient.

Hi @tyme @Kyle1 @creative_writer @Captain24
