Psychiatric Patient Changes Meds in Desperate Suicide Attempt | New Amsterdam | MD TV

"why would he try to kill himself" about the psych patient on the psych ward

[@smorris281]

This sort of medical records hacking happens more than you think. The miracle of modern electronic medical records. This would never happen with paper records.

[@rebeccaelaine2828]

I'm worried this further pushes the stigma that if psych patients have control over their own healthcare decisions that they'll just off themselves.

[@squareoasis6975]

They tell us that suicide is the greatest act of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.

[@Rat_Queen86]

It’s one patient on a whole ward That’s the thing to consider- he is on the ward for a reason

[@trinitylivingston1286]

Damn, I accidentally clicked this video and it hurts in a way. It's not the same way as him but because I've been disabled in different ways my whole life so understand. The first time I felt stupid was when I was in the 1st grade. I spent middle school and stuff in the in between.

[@Em-me3]

Where does the brain damage part come in?! Going on an adderall binge can certainly lead to drug-induced psychosis, but how would that result in brain damage?

[@emoprincess73861]

That is so sad that he tempted suicide even though I know it’s just a show I wish I can give him a hug and tell him that everything is going to be OK. I’m gonna try not to cry. He has a long life ahead of him and he should look on the positive instead of the negative the old version is gone, but it doesn’t mean commit suicide

[@trinitylivingston1286]

Yea, I know. I guess for me, I forget about the different disabilities that I have and stuff and then sometimes I feel like the r word. The difference is that I've been this way my whole life.

[@Iamuniqueytofficial]

Can I have a hug? 😔

[@emoprincess73861]

@@Iamuniqueytofficial hugged you

[@trinitylivingston1286]

​​@@Iamuniqueytofficial yea, hug. ?

[@Curlyheadmaymay]

Omg this is so bad I wanna hug him either he’s a really good actor or he’s just depressed in real life

[@jayleighbear]

correct me if i’m wrong but isn’t there ALWAYS a physical copy of medications a patient is taking in regards to psychiatry??? my psychiatrist has everything written down as well as on the computer why on earth wouldn’t you keep a physical copy somewhere?

[@Rat_Queen86]

I worked in a psyche unit and yes, there is always at least 2 physical copies of care charts and meds

[@just-tess]

uf that hit me in the feels... he seems smart enough still to know that slow processing DNE not smart though!

[@MattWolf9]

I’ve been taking anti depressants and such for 15 years, I know, and knew, what I’m taking and the dosage, so why don’t these kids know? Was that explained?

[@griefninja2680]

Not all of them are just on anti depressants. Some of them had more complex issues.

[@MattWolf9]

@@griefninja2680 but why didn’t they know what meds they were taking?

[@mar-k7104]

A lot of people are really uneducated about psychiatric conditions and what meds there are. Unless people had a long journey themselves or seen family go through it they often will just take what the doctor gives them. It’s an unfortunate truth because people should know what they are taking and do their own research, put if they don’t have chronic health issues a lot of people don’t realize they should be doing that. There’s definitely way too many people like that in this scene tho

[@griefninja2680]

@MattWolf9 some literally don't have the mental capacity to remember that.

[@jayleighbear]

@@MattWolf9it’s entirely possible that the patients are on too many and aren’t mentally in a state to keep track of what they are being given or such as this instance, a patient can lie putting the hospital at risk for lawsuit bc they don’t like the meds they are on.

[@justincase7848]

Could this really happen? I would imagine hospitals woild have backups and backups

[@nelsonsmith7338]

IT engineer here, this is a rampent issue, I have had this happen to a number of clients. And yes you can restore backups but the question is: 1. how often do you back up the data? 2. How long does it take to restore that backup? That backup might be outdated, and information might be missing.

[@justincase7848]

Thanks for your input. It has happened to me and I definitely understand why it would happen to others. BUT I would imagine that a hospital would have a system in place for just such an eventuality. I imagine there are ways to have backups automatically initiate at least once a day. And if it's stored in a safe way I would imagine it shouldn't be too difficult to retrieve. I definitely would expect a hospital to have a better system then the average joe. Viruses, hackers, tech problems... These are to be expected.

[@rhonda7070]

@@justincase7848 Pen-and-paper is a good backup system. Basics updated. Yes, of course I'm old. 😁

[@cardinalbob1]

Not an engineer, just technical support. It has happened to a major hospital, and depending on the type of backup(double or triple redundant), how often, and other criteria to be able to reconstruct. Just remember that for every measure, there is a counter-measure.

[@scriptorpaulina]

Happened in 2015 during the heartbeat hack

[@Faith-b2m]

Yeah that patient need help with meds

[@pratyushb2024]

I don't get how he has brain damage... can someone explain that to me?!?

[@Crayolapup]

“Why don’t you give me the quickest shortest reason why you’re here, and I will get out of your hair”. “Why”? “So we can help you”.

[@shoosh222]

It’s ridiculous that the doc told the kid that his processing speed will probably never come back! 😮 Adderall can *potentially* be neurotoxic, but only in prolonged, regular overdoses over a long period of time. That didn’t happen to this kid. Sleep deprivation brain damage isn’t even a thing. Any harmful effects due to severe sleep deprivation is normally not permanent and can be resolved by getting more sleep. The longer someone goes without sleep, the more rest they'll need to recover. That leaves psychosis. No conclusive evidence exists that proves psychosis causes permanent brain damage. Actually, with medication and additional therapy, many patients fully recover. I guess there wouldn’t have been sufficient drama for this episode of the show if the doc had thrown out a “maybe”. 😂

[@nvm9040]

Soooo early 😂😂😂

[@FullTimePatient37]

Yeah.. doesn't happen in real Life.. systems get glitches and stop working for a few minutes because of heavy load but not hacked... But yes few computers can be hacked..my friend did this to get his EEG recording 😂 because staff wasn't efficient or even supervising..

[@tinagriffith500]

That's funny,two hospitals here in Nebraska got hacked, lot's of patient information leaked.

[@RockyOtter]

I'm pretty sure this was based off of a real, recent hack on the Healthcare system. Hospitals were infected with randsomware and were essentially forced to pay the hackers the money, not always with a good outcome. It took a concerning amount of time to fix. Anything with a computer system can be hacked. It just takes one person dedicated enough.

[@scriptorpaulina]

No, this specifically happened during the heartbeat hack of 2015. It took down /everything/.

[@katiedeity4399]

Many hospitals, including mine, were hacked earlier this year, 1st quarter, and are still recovering lost patient data and archives. It’s rare, but it can happen, and it’s usually done by terrible people for terrible reasons.

[@karenlarkin4049]

It has happened in real life. Many times. The fix is to pay the ransom. Which only encourages other hackers. And it's very difficult, even impossible sometimes, to catch the hackers. They don't care about sick people, just the money.
