Here is what the Executive Director of the National Alliance
on Mental Illness said about the video:
"I just watched this video and I am incredibly moved by the experience of you, your family and your niece. We are working with a number of hospital systems and talking about quality and data. It is so important that someone is tracking re-admissions to be able to see clearly which providers help and which providers hurt."
"I am going to forward the link to our policy folks."
"Thank you for taking the time to do this and lay out the sequence of events. I am so very sorry and we will keep fighting to change this insanity which as you point out is costly in both money and dignity."
