Psych ward accused of goading kids into acting up

Before you or your children receive treatment from any field of medicine, know the facts first. And let me be frank: The entire field of psychiatry is quackery.

The psychiatric unit of Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York, is awash in scandal. A doctor who trained there has filed a whistleblower lawsuit claiming that young people who were held there were provoked into acting up - then drugged, restrained, and locked up longer just so the facility could receive more Medicaid money. When the doctor tried to stop this Medicaid fraud, the facility retaliated against him.

There was racism going on too. The psych ward reportedly practiced racial discrimination against some of the teens by neglecting their complaints.

I've seen firsthand how psychiatric prisons provoke kids into acting up just so they have an excuse to hold them longer - so those who deny it need to shut up now.
