Reply to comment by Exodys03 in Lawsuit: Western Psych staff mistook nurse's disabilities, injected him with antipsychotic meds by saintofhate

There may be some room on "everybody knew" - I thought he informed supervisors and HR upon hire, which you would normally (or should) do in case you need to request an accomodation via ADA. it doesn't necessarily mean his everyday coworkers and peers knew, although he may or may not have chosen to be open about it.

FWIW I have ADHD and I get slurred speech during high stress situations (brain 1000x faster than mouth)

Yes but slurred speech or any common symptoms from his reported ADHD and dyslexia would not warrant the staff’s threats to physically restrain him and giving him a shot of Zyprexa involuntarily. I have a strong feeling that there is behavior on his part that we’re not hearing about.

Did it warrant the reaction from staff, medication and an involuntary commitment? I think we would need to hear both sides of the story to make an informed judgment.

I'm definitely interested in what comes out that's for sure. Seems to be a potential for ulterior motives on every party's part - like you said, what provoked such a crazy reaction, and was it on the nurse or was it something else that influenced his peers to react so strongly?
