Big Spring State Hospital — Local services in Big Spring

I was a patent there in 2011 I was forced to stay under court order and was treated badly after the nurse helped me drink soda while in full restraints and having Abdominal surgery cause my insides to explode - my intestines! I was sent back to the hospital and Once again... straight out of surgery I was asked to sign papers - I am still not sure what it was but than my court order was lifted without a judge and Big Springs State Hospital wouldn’t pay me medical bills they caused. I needed treated I couldn’t be operated on or closed up due to my protein levels it took 10 months to get them high enough to operate. I was sent on greyhound to Phoenix Arizona. I was in no condition! No one cared! I was weak unable to eat or drink without it pumping out of my stomach as fast as it went down my throat literally!! In fact I would have died if I continue the journey that big Spring State Hospital sent me on back to Phoenix Arizona. They were ordered to help me by judge all they did was cause me more pain and suffering and then kicked me out without a judge order I wasn’t there not even four months I was supposed to be there 12 months according to a judge so how is this possible? The doctor Sad to the judge that I was in capable of taking care of myself and I needed their supervision and they were going to help me! said to the judge that I was I’m capable of taking care of myself and I need it their supervision and they were going to help me Really? I want answers to why? But can’t get it! I had no way to eat or drink due to having (2) fistulas caused by the soda exploding my insides -my intestines where hanging out of my stomach- I went septic- Big Springs State Hospital is at fault and no one will do anything! Why? My intestines were hanging outside of my abdomen in a clear bag I was sent to the ER in New Mexico who transported me by ambulance to Scott and White Hospital in Temple Texas Due to my severe condition where I spent (10) months in the hospital due to the medical misconduct, unprofessional conduct and medical malpractice I was forced to received from big Spring State Hospital than thrown on the streets once they messed up! I was told I could not leave for at least one year but after they did this to me my court order went away while laying there in the hospital somethings not right I had an attorney look into it and was told that big Spring State Hospital has immunity therefore pretty much they can do whatever they want to anybody and nobody can ever do anything about it and it’s very obvious somebody’s in somebody’s back pocket because somethings not right about any of this! How is this legal? How does any hospital or Doctor receive immunity? I’m better mentally now and doing all I can to raise awareness for those who cannot speak like I couldn’t inside Big Springs No one knew I still suffer And big Springs State hospital has never made not one attempt to make any of this right all they try to do is cover everything up so now I’m getting a hold of everyone I can to bring attention to the issue for all BBB - Texas State medical board - NAMI - ACLU in Washington DC ect Protect your family loved ones friends ect! My opinion.... Stay away from Big Springs State Hospital! No ones life is worth the chance It’s not what they told my family on the phone at all I layed in my own body wastes for hours while in restraints! Brought out doors in a thin gown during winter with snow everywhere! They had jackets gloves hats while I froze I was assaulted by a staff member and he was removed They know what they’re doing to stay...

I was committed here at 21 yrs. For the next 7 years i was in agony & no one even believed me. When i was 38 i found out why i was in agony. Every medication i was prescribed caused me a side effect called akathisia. Akathisia feels like your coming down hard off of some drugs so bad your in agony. It also causes self mutilation as i did the entire time i took whatever meds i was prescibed. Self mutilating the entire time. My life was destroyed & all that happened was the ones who destroyed it got richer. My family & i no longer speak as they could not handle it when i finally refused ALL meds & quit self mutilating. Cowardly fools. No cop (who forced me to the mental hospital), nor family member nor doctor could bear the pain i did for years, for even one day before they cried baby girl tears & started their baby girl begging... Only a fool would believe that justice is a real thing in this world. If i received justice it would mean the doctors & my family (who forced me to take the meds with threats of homelessness) would be forcefully taken from their homes or place of work & be put in a concrete cage. That is a very basic truth. Anyone who thinks mental hospitals have gotten better & are good places should go through a month or two of HELL YOUVE NEVER BEEN CAPABLE OF DREAMING OF, (Akathisia) & then rethink your ignorant fools position. Whoever says "nice" things about theses places is plain jane ignorant! & The deepest Shame belongs to them & their families of fools.... Look up akathisia & spread the word about it or remain part of...

Do not take anyone here, SPREAD AWARENESS! Because I heard some stuff about this hospital from some friends and folk, that treats people very badly and keeps them in restraints, in a dark room like it's the 50s, do not admit anyone to this Hospital, give this Hospital a one-star rating, I would not ever recommend any loved one coming here unless you want them to be really traumatized, and really scared for their life, and scared of hospitals. This is not a "sanctuary" this is Pennhurst stuff right here. And as a disabled girl, I've researched these hospitals and looked into their past and some documents, and now I know what it was like, and just like the Pennhurst mental hospital in Pennsylvania, they treated everybody with a mental illness horrible, just like this Hospital right here, DO NOT send anyone here. Please and...
