My job can be so difficult sometimes
If you don’t know I work in forensic mental health. So all of our patients have a Severe Mental Illness, and have committed crimes.
SMI is the new term, SPMI is the old one, it just added the word Persistent which recently changed.
A lot of people say they couldn’t do it. They couldn’t look past the atrocities there people committed.
The key is, the person you’re dealing with isn’t the same person that committed the crime. That was their mental illness, it was actually their distorted view of reality.
Thats how it should work at least. Nobody gaming the system, nobody getting away with things they shouldn’t and pretending to be mentally ill. It’s called malingering.
And it largely does work that way. The people making these decisions are *usually* the best at it. They’re hard too fool and the judges usually listen to what they have to say.
However, there is one doctor who will say whatever she needs to say if you pay here enough. She has no morals or ethics and does nothing but add suffering to the world. She will do and say anything to let you get away with crimes if you pay her enough.
It rarely works but she tries. As a result we’ve got at most, in a state with over 5 million people, 4 or 5 people currently alive that have “gotten away” with crimes claiming SMI made them not culpable.
And one of those folk is coming in this week for his bi-yearly treatment. He’s a predator. He needs to be in jail forever. The whole office, all 5 of us for the whole state, are angry and upset because we all hate him so deeply and profoundly.
We HATE him. As to what he did? It’s the worst things you can imagine.
This one man is without a doubt the single strongest test of our convictions to a greater good, to professionalism, and to focusing on those that we can truly help.
We often say we can only hope he drives into a tree at 100 mph on his way here.
