To the Alberta Health Regions Stop Mistreatment of Psychiatric Patients! We, the undersigned Organization for Bipolar Affective Disorders Society, Physicians, former Patients, and concerned Citizens, Do hereby implore the Alberta Health Regions to cease the policy of involuntary transferring of patients from hospitals where their Psychiatrists practice in the short-sighted interests of bed availability. This policy undermines the long-term benefits of doctor-patient relationships and only serves to traumatize persons in acute states of mental illness; making a bad situation even worse. http://www.obad.ca

Doctors need to be able to follow their own patients. Breaks the trust when they get shipped off to some random ward.

This is so cruel. You cant just treat people like cargo when they are at their most vulnerable.

My son was moved 3 times without us knowing. It set his recovery back months. This has to stop now.
