Hi recently i decided to embark on a journey to get the infamous and elusive Pes F award.
This is a post to explain my experience and most importantly: WHY YOU SHOULD NOT GO DOWN THIS ROUTE.
My Story (Cut Short): I walked into IMH and told them I have thoughts of ending my life and my main stressor being NS. They decided to put me on Observation where I would spend 1-2 days according to the doctor in a ward. Due to the crazy amount of people admitting into IMH recently, I was placed in a Forensics Ward as there was not enough space in other wards. In the end I spent a total of 1 week there…..
The ward I was placed in was like a maximum security prison. With fenced up windows and double doors entry which were locked 24/7 unless to get food, water or toilet.
My First Day: After being admitted I felt completely lost and hopeless due to the fact that there was 1: No Phones Allowed 2: Nurses were quick to dismiss you in a conversation 3: No one able to give you any information as only the Doctors know whats up. 4: Calling parents are only allowed on Sundays 5: Parent visits – Sundays as well
I spent the majority of that day walking the length of my room.
My Second Day: The doctor came to visit me at 9am in the morning and asked me if I was feeling better. At this point I was already feeling very sad and gone so I told him I was perfectly fine and happy now and was ready to go back to camp.
The doctor told me I was to stay for another 2 days.
1: Doctors don’t come everyday. 2: They only come at 9am – 11am
My Third Day: The Case manager came to visit me and assessed my situation. Long story short it was just a bunch of false hope and promises that never came through. He promised to speak to my parents on that same day but end up only calling them on a Saturday which was 2 days later for my case.
1: Case Manager has the final say in your discharge 2: The case manager only comes once per week. -.-“
The People: Majority of all the patients in the Forensics Ward were under PIC (Placed In Custody) which also meant that they are there because of an ongoing police investigation or are awaiting trial at court.
The other people are those legit seriously have issues. They would spend the day either staring at the wall or shouting at a wall.
The Nurses and Doctors: Damn fast to ignore or drop a conversation due to the fact that they DONT KNOW ANYTHING.
They are also dealing with people with legitamate issues on a daily basis, so this kind of cloud their judgement about who they should respond to or not.
They treat you like shit.
I would like to add that I did infact met one nurse called Mendell who is really kind to me and spent 30 minutes talking to me about life in the middle of the night.
Closure: If you decide to go down this route to get your Pes F, please reconsider.
It’s a long and confusing path with a lot of false promises and false hopes everyday. You’ll have nothing to do but sit on ur bed and sing or stare at the ceiling waiting for time to pass by.
In the end I got out with a specialist memo and I’m awaiting to pass this letter to my camp MO.
I would NOT EVER go back to IMH to chao geng liao. ITS JUST NOT WORTH IT.
Thanks for reading -^
Netizens’ comments
Bro I seen so many people go IMH none got your issues. Maybe you got skill issue bro, maybe you bring your piece too extreme or you joking here.
Okay lemme rundown real quick what a normal experience is like.
Usually you will get consultation after waiting awhile, if they deem you too unsafe due to self harm. It’s only 1-2 days in ward and if there is any extension your family can broker you out of there.
Most of the doctors are always there, it’s 24/7 A&E FFS. Once they diagnose your issue and all, they will just give you memo and an appointment date for a later more analysis after you sent your memo to your MO.
From there onwards, you seat back and watch as your MO see if you are fit and then go for more counselling with pending downpes/temp status. Once your MA with A&E is done, you get another memo where they have you go for some kind of therapy and checkup and you submit the new memo to MO. Finishing your downpes.
Also Pes F is hard to get, you don’t get Pes F by saying you got mental issue. Usually you go get Pes C/E
Please do not talk about fake news or exaggerate your feelings here, do not scare off people who truly need this service. don’t need to make NS even more worst for those who cannot even.
