Psychiatric wards cannot prevent death

There is evidence on camera of a patient dying on the floor of a psych ward. This shows the apathetic tv watching state of people who do not seem to switch on to the fact that someone is dying. You would hope that, once within a psych ward, a person could be saved from death. But as this footage shows it is pathetic, disgustingly the last thing this person experiences is a cold hospital floor, where she was meant to be alive. And looked after. The footage may be disturbing as it is real life.

Death in a psych ward - actual footage

As far as I can see from internet research, the cause of Esmin Green's death was unclear. It may have even been due to psychiatric medication although why would that happen when the apparent process was to take in the person, and then to give them medication the next morning. Had she overdosed on psychiatric medicine or on something else? She didn't die from just sitting there in the waiting room!!

Stop the apathy of psychiatric ward treatment. They do little to help people and do not seem to know how to help people or to prevent suicide. Yet treatment is continued on in the form of medication, keeping people in hospitals, but really accomplishing nothing to help that person change their life or to stop them from dying.
The evidence is clear and there are no more excuses for mistreatment. These ways must be overthrown!!

Protest the psych ward systems! End the apathy that causes lives to end!!
