ptsd Camera's In Ptsd Group Meetings?

[shrlee]

My husband has been attending a bi-weekly PTSD Group Meeting at our

local VA for the last eight years.

When he attended yesterday he noticed they have installed camera's

which were scanning the room. He asked the phychologist if they were

on and yes they were. About ten or twelve vets are in the group. The

vets are uncomfortable with the cameras and several of them has quit

venting and are careful of what they do say and most don't talk at all.

The phychologist, whom the vets respect and trust, now also is careful

of what he says.

Were we behind times or is it common to have camera's in the PTSD Group

Meetings?

shrlee,

A VA employee at Bay Pines (VAMC) that has worked in the Clinic Mods for over

twenty years, told me several years ago that they have cameras actively recording

everywhere except for the elevators.

I did not inquire if that included the bathrooms.

the second time I was in the VA nut house and was assaulted by my doctor, it happened in a room that had cameras as all the common areas and a few patient rooms had cameras. Anyway when I was assaulted by the doctor I asked about the cameras and was told they did not record it would be a invasion of privacy YA RIGHT I JUST FELL OFF THE TATER TRUCK AND LANDED IN THE SHRINK WARD I sure wish I had tape of that, I am still pondering suing the doctor for malpracrtice
