'Mental health patients could be at risk...' - Tell me something I don't know


A retired shrink from the States has said mental health patients could be at risk because nurses are not trained properly. The Jersey Evening Post reported that Dr Gil Blackwood believes the only way to improve Jersey’s mental health services is to change its management.

In the ultimate Paddy Mac wisdom, perhaps I can add to that: change the psychiatrists to real doctors, and change the treatments so that they aid recovery not kill the patient. There now, job done.
