I might have met Theresa Hunt in passing; I cannot say for sure one way or the other, but as I keep hammering home, case management is not a panacea for competency, and Richard Plotts outburst doesn't surprise me. He had a jacket littered with violence, and I have absolutely no record, but the women who run Presbyterian Homes treat me as if I were a Richard Plotts simply because I have been victimized, or I've fallen-- whereas Plotts himself wasn't secured with appropriate precautions despite his antagonism toward protocol and the people behind the protocol. How he got the weapon will be investigated, but the issue of security at psychiatric facilities is ongoing, because ambulatory felons are less suspect than cripples. Bellevue Hospital had a researcher killed by a violent patient in the 90's, one of the few civilian cases which held me riveted during my last months with Greater Media Cable. The woman's family lost what I felt was a winnable case. If I had actually engaged in self-inflicted violence, or struck out at Presby staff and needed Richard's level of treatment, then I could understand how and why I've been browbeat repeatedly-- but evidently, cerebral palsy in and of itself inspires more fear than a man with Plotts' history.
