My name is Mike. I stayed over two weeks at Brodie Ranch. I was pleased to meet and work with several very good people there. But they are greatly outnumbered by loud, surly, obnoxious employees. My first night there, I was kept awake by constant loud noise. Some goober was dragging a contractor-size trash can up and down the hall. It was on a big piece of cardboard which helped to loudly resonate the dragging noises as he dragged it up the hallway. Then he turned around and dragged it down the hallway. Then dragged it halfway up the hallway, paused, and dragged it the rest of the way up the hallway. Back and forth, back and forth from about 8:00 PM to 10:30 pm when he quit. Then the noise from the centrally located nurses' station took over. I don't know how many people were at the station, but at least two were constantly hooting and hollering to keep me awake till about 5:00 AM. When I mentioned this the next day, I was asked which shift was making the noise (I don't know … which shift is from 10:00PM to 5:00AM?). I said I didn't think they were employees; surely anyone who works there would know better than to make loud block-party noises while patients were trying to sleep and heal. I was assured that yes, they were employees. Obnoxious, loud, Brodie Ranch employees. A persistent theme among them is hollering to each other through the hallways. Daytime or nighttime makes no difference. Several times, I was startled awake by them coming into my room and shouting loudly for no apparent reason. My first roommate had some mental disturbance. During the night he often became agitated with his bedding, and would flip his head to the foot of his bed. Sometimes, he would get up for a minute, then fall on the hard floor with a loud slapping noise. I always pressed the call help switch, which turns on an alert light outside the room. No one ever responded to that. Not ever. Getting out of bed was very difficult and painful for me, but I did it to walk to the nurses' station for help. One night, this happened three times, and I repeatedly pushed my walker to the station to get help. The staff always appeared to be annoyed that I disturbed them, so I told them I didn't know what else I should do. They just said they would take care of it. I assumed they meant now that I had gotten out of bed and pushed my walker up the hallway to their station while they ignored the alert light. The next day, I was moved across the hall into a room with just me, no explanation why. Concerned for my first roommate, I pushed my walker halfway across the hall and stopped just to look into his room. An aid or nurse standing in the hallway talking with someone abruptly fussed at me, "You can't go in there." I explained that I wasn't going in, just looking in, and asked if he had been falling anymore. She rudely snapped, "I hope not," and dismissed me to continue her talk with the other person. I was never allowed to check in on him and was always treated rudely when I tried. Later, it occurred to me their method of taking care of his problem was to get me out of the way. In a few days, a new patient was brought in to be my roommate. He was allowed to leave the television on loudly all night, every night. When I mentioned how it kept me awake, the aids would look at me like I was a terrible person, and never did a thing about it. He began stealing from me, which got me more dirty looks, and nothing done about it. Several times a group of nurses or aids would hover around him asking if he was being treated well, and was anyone being impolite to him, or doing anything he did not like, etc. He seemed to be quite a V.I.P., and I never heard such concerns regarding me or any other patient. They weighed me twice for whatever reasons. The first time, I was hydraulically jacked upward in a sort of engine hoist while trussed in a set of straps which cut into me and painfully stretched my surgical wound. I was very glad to get out of that rig. The next time I was shoved into a wheelchair without foot guards. The abusive aid repeatedly crashed my feet into walls and whatever to get me to a weigh station platform in a different hall. She yanked me out of the chair and shoved me forward onto the platform for weighing. It was up to me to move my feet quickly enough to stay upright. Then she yanked me backward to plop down into the wheelchair which, again, was painful. I was the only one who cared. On my last day, I was surprised with news an ambulance would arrive soon to take me back to a hospital. I had about ten minutes to pack my belongings in several bags when the ambulance team arrived and strapped me on a gurney. They told me I could take just one small bag, so I chose a zippered pouch holding my wallet. The rest of my property was in a closet and on the floor of my room. In particular, one Brodie Ranch official was telling me to not worry, and insisted she would gather my th
