Reply #8: Well, the fight goes to legal rights of the mentally ill WS sec 51.61(1)

[HereSince1628]

and HFS 94.

These rules and law provide that a grievance procedure is
required leading to right of access to the courts.

To wit I have submitted the following grievance: 

Prior to my treatment at the VA I was not informed of my
rights under sec 51.30 Wis Stats,HFS 94 and HSS 92

I was denied the right to participate in the planning of my
treatment.

    I was forced to accept fee-based treatment at a specified
community provider. No alternatives were provided although I
had previously informed my therapist that I did not think DBT
was appropriate forme. I was not allowed to speak to my sense
that DBT was an inappropriate treatment.

I was refused prompt adequate treatment. 

    I was forced to go 7 months with no psychotherapy.
Treatment that would have had a reasonable probability of
preventing my being rejected by the fee based provider for
manifesting diagnostic symptoms of my disorders.

I may not be treated unfairly because of sex.

    My denial of service by the community provider was based
on my sex. A VA therapist communicated this to me.

Being mentally ill doesn't mean you and I don't have rights.
The only way to defend rights is to claim them.
