I work in maximum secutity in the forensic unit.  Someone needs to let the public know what the staff at OSH are gong thru.  Right now the inner hospital e-mails are suggesting a class action law suit against the hospital for years long understaffing and forcing staff to work 2 and sometimes 3 16 hour days straight.  (This equates to maybe 4 hours sleep for several days for staff that are on the most dangerous ward in the hospital).  Right now , on my unit, one female patient is sending staff to the hospital on almost a weekly basis, and no one knows about it, (except administration). 

Was anyone aware of the protest the staff participated in last month concering the impossible parking situation there?  The staff are forced to park in muddy fields where when you step out of your car you are up to mud to your calves.  So for one week staff parked in all 88 parking spaces of the administration building so administration could experience what they get to go thru on a daily basis. 

Two or three months ago a staffs car (Geo Metro) was towed, without her knowledge because she had parked at the end of a line of cars in the parking lot (There was no space designation).  BUT when Nina Strickland parked in an illegal parking spot last month, AND WAS CALLED AND ASKED TO  MOVE HER VEHICLE, she said no and remained in the parking  spot for the rest of the day, No ticket, no towing.  People helping people?? RIGHT!
