Reply to comment by Wrinklestiltskin in Do we have any decent inpatient mental hospitals for adults? by Ipuncholdpeople

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.

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.

right? if you go to the main offices, you are good. but yeah. satalite offices no. I went to the booneville office once cause i was homeless there, and they shipped me back to columbia who was not helping me. I finally went to kc where I found an apartment.
