oh I saw this clustering all the time. if they did bother to slide open the window they would flat out tell them NO without even listening to the request.
about the annual physicals NOT! there were plenty of charts coming across my desk where they were not updated in YEARS even with chronic conditions present. it was the rare doc that would do regular updates. with patients under PSRB it was a requirement, so we'd send reminders, even then they were late.

on The State of the State Hospital
After two years in an administrative support position, my feeling is there is widespread fear/anxiety from threats of being written up for "policy violations" which may or may not exist, or are subjectively interpreted. Fear, paranoia, and insecurity and perpetuated by management, rumors abound,management does nothing to quell or reassure. Staff, even the most dedicated, quickly become apathetic. I was told by several psychiatrist at OSH that the hospital is a revolving door facility; that the patients will be noncompliant once discharged; I think this belief transfers to a "why bother" attitude, along with the abuse of policy to keep people in fear of their job, is where the cultural atmosphere turns sour. this is mostly why good people leave.
