PTSD treatment sure has changed

| February 2, 2011

Just A Grunt sent us a link to an article about the kind of people who are getting hired these days to treat our soldiers’ PTSD.

A therapist treating an army sergeant for post-traumatic stress disorder allegedly stalked and sexually harassed the soldier — apparently sending him lewd text messages and threatening his family — in a case that culminated with a high-speed chase and the therapist in a psychiatric hospital, according to a military investigation.

Prosecutors Tuesday charged Rachelle Santiago, 43, an independent social worker hired to counsel soldiers at Fort Riley in Kansas, with stalking the sergeant who she was counseling for PTSD and marital problems.

The story ends with an hour-long, 100-mile-an-hour high speed chase and the apprehended therapist in a state mental institution promising to see the soldier once she got out. Her lawyer blames steroids she was taking for a nasal problem.

Yeah, I know most therapists aren’t like this one, but this bat-shit crazy bitch should have been detected long before she started parking in front of the sergeant’s home and threatening his family.

You need to read the whole story to get the full effect.

I went out with a bat-shit crazy psychotic therapist once. When we broke up she threatened to have me involuntarily committed for 72hrs. I told her to go ahead and in the meantime pack her shit and move off-planet cause if she stayed here I’d find her.

I always get the middle-aged men therapists whose only goal in life is to be so bland that cardboard seems like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade instead…

When will she be available?

Steroids my ass….she should have her license to practice revoked forever. If I had done something like that to a female patient, I’d still be in prison.

I seem to recall a certain therapist that was treating troops suffering PTSD and her bragging that she was recruiting for IVAW or some shit like that? She was saying it here, I believe. Jonn; do you recall that one?

Melle; you’re just figuring it out now??

LOL- Nope… After 19 years of marriage… the formula to keeping a man happy is lots of sex, food and sleep(with the occasional bathroom break). Like I said simple, that is why we love you guys…

HOLY SCHITTTT!!!!! I am taking VA prescribed steroids for a nasal problem. I hadn’t put two and two together, but that nurse there has looked progressively better since I began doing them. H’mmmmmm, come here Nurse, want some candy?
