Dr. Neal A Shore, MD

I entered Bryn Mawr's Psychiatric Unit in 2007 and was horrifically traumatized. The experiences I had with the threaten...ing, uncompassionate staff and doctors who only wanted to force drugs down my throat, left me with flashbacks of the trauma, even now, 6 years later. One day I was given so many drugs that I blacked out in the arms of my husband. I nearly died several times from dehydration and no one seemed to care. And one nurse even threatened to punch me if I did not comply with her orders. It was beyond a nightmare, the conditions were dirty and cramped and totally unsupportive of any kind of healing. Please think very seriously about committing a loved one to this institution of horrors, they will most likely emerge with post traumatic stress disorder. There are so many other healing options, look into something holistic. The doctors here do 1 thing--prescribe medications, they have no training nor interest in helping one to HEAL, they just place them aside like cattle and hope the drugs will keep them quiet. The place should be closed, it is a disaster. more details
