Ingleside Hospital - Part 4
Kathi, Carole must have at least heard of my situation. Read the info I received via email (below) on 10/3/2005 from the Department of Mental Health. Keep in mind that a lady just called me yesterday from LA County Patients' Rights.
Dear Mr. Haney,

Your email includes several different concerns regarding potential patients' rights violations.
