old post, but the chumba casino ads

I went through my primary doctor and they referred me to neuropsych. The cognitive testing was around $1000.

I will remember this jingle when I am old, senile and demented. This will still be there...

Wife bad. Cheap good. Boomer energy strong

Same, last time we bought a washer and drier that was the deciding factor.

I've been to Upson hawk...it is very hit or miss.

I went to dapper for a few years, but galloped my barber Shane to the Coven on commercial st.

Guy does great work.

J.C. Penny's always has adorable clothes for little kids. You could try there. It's in the Battlefield Mall.

Imagine going through some rough times to be bussed to…of all places Joplin. I lived there for a long time and I never do a drive through ever. That town is extremely depressing. Now imagine getting out of a mandatory hold, no ride. No money (if homeless keep a few bucks in your pocket), and the street near you is 32nd and Rangeline. /shutter/

I heard this from a department head at Burrell, but they may have been mistaken (I hope so...).

But as far as turning people away, it's seemed about 50/50 odds whether or not they'll admit someone who's only experiencing psychotic symptoms anymore. I've had a lot of clients turned away this last year when having a psychotic episode but not being suicidal/homicidal. Even when they've been transported via ambulance from a residential care facility, with the RCF staff requesting hospitalization. I don't remember it being like this until within the last 1.5 years or so.

Mud Lounge is ideal for college students or if you're in your 20s.

Wireroad Brewery and 417 taphouse are pretty nice atmosphere wise - in your case definitely 417 as it's very college scene.

Despite being a Burrell employee, I will readily say: stay the hell away from Burrell satellite offices.... I've witnessed/heard of too much incompetence and bad practices at those locations. I think it has to do with lack of oversight.

Most of Burrell's satellite offices are hemorrhaging employees and very understaffed right now too, from what I understand.

Most of the Burrell hate I see here is unfounded, but there are definitely very real criticisms. The biggest problems I see from the inside is that our scheduling department has grown terribly incompetent, wait time for entering services is astronomically slow/backed up, and the turnover rate of providers is substantial and definitely screws up the quality/continuity of care provided to our clients.

Burrell absolutely strives to provide good care for our clients, and 99% of people on client-facing sides truly care about the people we serve. But I also think that when you go beyond the client-facing staff, leadership cares more about profit margins than quality of care provided to clients or quality of life of their employees.

There are valid criticisms of Burrell, but most of the hate I read here is far from valid or based in reality.

It’s been a bit since I’ve worked there, so can’t speak to specific policy right now, but wholesale turning away of a specific population sounds odd to me and I’d be surprised if they were to start doing that.

I’d ABSOLUTELY be shocked if they were turning away depressive/schizophrenic patients as well, regardless of their other diagnoses.

It took years of fighting and getting bounced from person to person to get it canceled, which is wild considering I was trying to cancel it because their personal trainer (who I hired for safety not motivation) landed me the hospital for 2 weeks.

Have you asked your PCP?

I heard Cox is going back to turning away the DD population for psych admittance. Do you know if that's true? Also wondering where that leaves my clients with comorbid developmental disability and mood/schizophrenia-spectrum disorders?

Also have to wonder how many of my clients you've serviced over the years haha.

I have never heard anything good about Marian. Never been either. Knew a lot of people that went through there, and the place didn’t work out for them.

Fuck Mercy hospital as there is no Mercy. Get it? Anyway, Burrell Rapid Access I do not know much of. I get the I hate Burrell circle jerk, unfortunately in this town there are limited/weird options. And not every doctor will be the same. But that isn’t limited to this town. In Neveduh (yes I am making fun of you), they have a behavioral health place, but it is not quite a nice place. But that was a long time ago.

I worked at Cox North for ~3 years on one of their adult inpatient floors. If you’ve got any questions about how the process operates I’d be happy to give some insight.

So there is a couple of cool things about working for src, one being the employee stock ownership program. It's an extra benefit beyond automatic 5% 401k matching. You earn company stock just by working and are fully invested at 6 years. Also every employee qualifies for quarterly bonuses but it's grouped by division so whomever logistics includes will determine the bonus possiblity. They feed employees probably once a month and there's enough work culture swag through the year to keep your top half dressed pretty easily. They also participate in the great game of business and that means open book management.

That's debatable, and if their inpatient is full, you can be held against your will in a hospital bed (one time for days!) before being driven by ambulance to their Joplin overflow facility that is old and dirty (trash and used bandaids and stuff on the floor when I visited a few years ago). Your involuntary hold at Mercy prior to being bussed to Joplin does not count, and it starts once you reach the overflow facility.

That same person who was held for days not getting treatment at Mercy and confined to a bed until being sent to Joplin could not get out of that shithole. The psych provider residing over this individual would not discharge him even though he had been there for about 5 days at this point and was not suicidal. I had to go out there personally and raise hell to advocate for them to discharge this person.

This individual said there were other people at the facility in the same boat, including someone who checked themselves in voluntarily when they were having some psychosis. Once their psychotic episode had passed, the facility would not allow them to leave. Another client of mine recently told me of a similar experience they had going to Mercy, being held without treatment until shipped to Joplin, where they could not leave for an unreasonable amount of time.

Mercy should be a last resort in my opinion. I also highly recommend receiving medical care thru Cox over Mercy. As a caseworker, I've seen problems with Cox, but I have seen way more problems with Mercy. Everyone I know who has worked at Mercy has told me to always go to Cox and stay away from Mercy. That's pretty damning when their employees tell you to go to their biggest competitor...

Yes! Especially back when it was the lady with the over done Jersey accent.
