THEY Told Her It Was VOLUNTARY… While Denying Her EVERY Right! Weiss Memorial Hospital and John J. Madden Mental Health Center EXPOSED - DEMAND Justice for patients NOW, BEFORE They Silence More Victims!

Imagine being denied YOUR OWN MEDICAL HISTORY, those you LOVE silenced as “experts” decide YOUR fate behind closed doors... This is NOT a dystopian novel, it’s the TERRIFYING reality of “Clean Slate” admissions at Illinois mental health facilities. This petition demands ACTION NOW before more lives are shattered.

My wife is TRAPPED in this nightmare, BUT her ordeal reveals a chilling truth: This state trusts hospitals to have more power over our MINDS AND BODIES than WE do, all under the guise of “care”. This petition ISN'T about one case, it's about ending this legalized ABUSE once and for all.

What we experienced is happening to more people than you can imagine.

This isn't about differences of medical opinion. This is about INSTITUTIONS subverting the VERY LAWS designed to PROTECT those in their care for PROFIT, and here’s the PROOF:

 

The LEGAL BARRAGE:

Right to REFUSE Treatment: 405 ILCS 5/2-107, enshrined in their OWN handbooks, BUT repeatedly IGNORED.

 

 

 

 

Involuntary Hold Limit BLATANTLY Broken: ILCS 5/3-801 REQUIRES 2 doctor certifications WITHIN 24 HOURS for legal continuation - Weiss ONLY HAD ONE, admitting this IN WRITING, and Madden ACCEPTED IT! That’s a criminal conspiracy to cover THEIR mistakes, endangering patients by shirking proper admission (JC standards ALSO mandate this, compounding their violations!).

Power of Attorney OBSTRUCTION is a TWO-PRONGED attack:

(a) Illinois Power of Attorney Act (755 ILCS 45/): Spells out my RIGHT to act on her behalf. By repeatedly denying THIS, from DAY ONE… Weiss and Madden committed INSTITUTIONAL FRAUD to control the narrative, denying my wife's OWN right to proper LEGAL representation - something courts take VERY seriously.

(b) Disability discrimination under BOTH Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/) AND ADA Title II: The INTENTIONAL blocking of her interpreter DESPITE knowing of her need, THEN admitting to “clean slate”… that’s them using HER VULNERABILITY as an excuse to steamroll her consent later!

The UNSPOKEN right: HIPAA was weaponized AGAINST us, NOT FOR us. It’s supposed to ensure PATIENT confidentiality… but how can she give INFORMED consent to treatments WHEN isolated, barred communication WITH her designated advocate (ME), phone calls intercepted… It's all designed to silence, then LABEL her outburst AS proof of “incapacity”! This reeks of corruption reaching far BEYOND a single admission error.

 

Our Demands Shift NOW:

It’s no longer just about my wife's RELEASE. It’s about:

An INJUNCTION: To halt THESE specific practices by both Weiss Memorial Hospital and John J. Madden Mental Health Center - to protect those INSIDE RIGHT NOW while a long-term investigation unfolds.

FINES: Each violation HAS an associated penalty - HIT THEM financially for this pattern of abuse to fund FUTURE litigation AND discourage this across Illinois.

"Clean Slate" OUTLAWED: This POLICY - UNETHICAL and POTENTIALLY illegal - MUST become publicly acknowledged as HARMFUL. Make THIS the story that shames Illinois into FIXING it!

CONCLUSION

My wife's first words, spoken LOUDLY to the Ambulance crew with ONLY me attending, crouching at her side: "I am scared of this and I want to go to a CHRISTIAN hospital..!" Those words were ignored; just like her rights, have been ignored.

For nearly TWO WEEKS, I, Alec, have been denied visits, phone access has been manipulated… and TODAY (Monday), I received BAD news that her release is AGAIN DELAYED till "TUESDAY" (with STILL no concrete PLAN) … BECAUSE WE refused to LET them pump her full of LITHIUM! This isn’t "treatment,” it's RETALIATION, and ILLINOIS enables it with every “Clean Slate”!

I’m FIGHTING because MY WIFE can’t, her voice SILENCED by their "care"… JOIN ME, because TOMORROW… It could be someone YOU LOVE trapped behind that ‘Clean Slate’, stripped of everything that MAKES them HUMAN… all because a system values their bottom line over genuine COMPASSION.

By signing, you stand with those too vulnerable to fight alone. Our legal team is PREPARED to challenge those exploiting these laws - your signatures SHOW THEM that silent victims are finding their VOICE! Make THESE facilities, the entire Illinois Mental health SYSTEM itself… AFRAID to continue doing this, or your name may be NEXT!

Sign NOW, BEFORE it's too late!

Imagine being denied YOUR OWN MEDICAL HISTORY, those you LOVE silenced as “experts” decide YOUR fate behind closed doors... This is NOT a dystopian novel, it’s the TERRIFYING reality of “Clean Slate” admissions at Illinois mental health facilities. This petition demands ACTION NOW before more lives are shattered.

My wife is TRAPPED in this nightmare, BUT her ordeal reveals a chilling truth: This state trusts hospitals to have more power over our MINDS AND BODIES than WE do, all under the guise of “care”. This petition ISN'T about one case, it's about ending this legalized ABUSE once and for all.

I’ve witnessed this firsthand: a “routine check-up” turning into FIVE DAYS at Weiss ER, where compassion was replaced with COERCION: Hours without water, anxieties mocked, then FORCEFULLY separated from my wife the SECOND I became "inconvenient" by ADVOCATING for her. While I was DENIED information, they revoked my LEGAL POA (without DUE PROCESS!), and turned my loving wife into a “psychiatric case” against HER WILL. Their petition to John J. Madden… signed with a SINGLE DOCTOR, after days of ILLEGAL detainment, it's EXHIBIT A for their CRIMES (submitted to authorities)!

My wife's first words: spoken LOUDLY to the Ambulance crew with ONLY me attending and crouching at her side: "I am scared of this and I want to go to a CHRISTIAN hospice tal..!"

Yet, the care provider in charge of my wife's LAST MINUTE drug-induced abduction from WEISS to MADDEN was a man quietly introduced behind closed doors.

Nurses described my wife's status throughout several days of her initially at Weiss ER as "Just sleep-ing" yet, she herself described the entire WEISS STAY as a harrowing process of forced injections and strap-down blood-draws (she HATES needles!) that preceded the introduction of a "Navy SEAL" who she "knew from the past" that was apparently sent by her parents to "separate us." Of course, no one knows how much of this information about the LOVE-NOT-Dr. true due to the FACT that BOTH Weiss AND Madden, have administered PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS TO HER outside the presence and guardianship of her ALREADY-ESTABLISHED Medical POA who was refused by BOTH INSTITUTIONS OUTRIGHT to be able to submit (in person or via email) vital healthcare documents containing pre-existing blood tests, neurological assessments, and more, PROVING HARMFUL INTENT without a doubt by both institutions. My wife's headaches are getting worse in there, please sign her petition now!

Have you or a loved one been committed by a non-physician? Who will be NEXT in the "STARVING GAMES" as my wife refers to them?

 

 

The nightmare of Inception begins... From a 5 day stay at the WEISS DUNGEON, to a 1+ WEEK INVOLUNTARY/VOLUNTARY stay at the Schrödinger's hotel: John J. Madden initially BOASTED on Sunday they don’t take “complex” patients, giving my wife INCENTIVE to "PROVE" she was "COMPLEX" under duress and already having been drugged up BEFORE first involuntary petition was signed by the single non-physician who she described as "the Navy SEAL" who told her that her worked with her years earlier...

"So let me say this. If- if- she- we do not take patients that are medically complex or patients that we can't communicate with. We do offer various translation services. So if she was as medically complex as you're stating, yes, we would have never admitted her." - This statement from a Madden representative seems to indicate a clear policy against accepting medically complex patients.

Guess my wife with a pre-existing TBI, requiring a special interpreter, a special diet, unique nutritional medical supplies, and even ongoing, activity-based treatment wasn’t COMPLEX ENOUGH?! Or was it MY presence, armed with FACTS they wanted to BURY under that "CLEAN SLATE", that made her suddenly INELIGIBLE for their brand of “care”? Dr. Lee TRIED to backpedal, but by THEN, the DAMAGE was DONE. 

"No, uhh no uhh, nervous laughs no, no, it doesn't mean that we don't accept complex cases. It's umm..." - This quote comes from Dr. Lee, a psychiatrist at Madden, September 17th, in response to Alec's concern that Madden doesn't accept complex cases. While Dr. Lee attempts to reassure Alec, he doesn't explicitly state that the facility does accept complex cases. His nervous laughter and hesitant tone might suggest discomfort or uncertainty about the facility's ability to handle such cases.

Imagine being BLOCKED from comforting your loved one because ONE DOCTOR decides you’re “hostile”, based on a phone CALL involving the collapse of their EXPLICIT BRIBERY: "We will be ready to release you ON FRIDAY unless you refuse LITHIUM," NEVER having MET you! That's MY REALITY: For nearly TWO WEEKS, denied visits, phone access manipulated… Then TODAY (MONDAY), news that release is AGAIN DELAYED till TUESDAY (with STILL no concrete PLAN communicated to patient) … BECAUSE WE refused to LET them pump her full of LITHIUM! This isn’t "treatment,” it's RETALIATION, and ILLINOIS enables it with every “Clean Slate”!

OUR DEMANDS:

Outlaw "Clean Slate” NOW: Replace it with MANDATORY continuity of care across ALL facilities. NO patient admitted WITHOUT FULL medical history secured (at later time if necessary but NEVER blocked by new hospital, or else WHAT IS THE POINT OF TREATMENT? If it's truly "patient-centered”… why ERASE the VERY person they're supposed to HELP?!

Investigate, and DON’T just stop at reports!: DEMAND IDPH releases anonymized admission/transfer records for BOTH Weiss AND Madden for past TWO YEARS. Let the PUBLIC see how MANY unlawful holds, med changes WITHOUT consent, advocate BLOCKING… went on because it was convenient, hidden under that damned "fresh start" bullsh*t. This petition will be EVIDENCE.

Change Transfer LAWS: No more 'shuffling' patients to escape accountability. Hospitals PROFIT by these broken people... Force them to PROTECT patients instead. EVERY TRANSFER must include FULL documentation reviewed by advocate AND an independent medical professional before admittance is even considered. We’ll submit THIS to lawmakers, so your signature isn't just WORDS, it's a VOTE for REAL change.

It's Monday… Day THIRTEEN of a legal and medical nightmare that SHOULD'VE ended before THE HOSPITAL KIDNAPPED HER, IF those institutions acted ETHICALLY. Illinois… this isn't “treatment,” it's LEGALIZED ABUSE of those who NEED us MOST.

I’m FIGHTING because MY WIFE can’t, her voice SILENCED by their "care", LITERALLY.  JOIN ME, because TOMORROW… It could be someone YOU LOVE trapped behind that ‘Clean Slate’, stripped of everything that MAKES them HUMAN… all because a system values their bottom line over genuine COMPASSION. Sign NOW, BEFORE it's too late!
