The trouble with Mr Landsman, though, is that he's the one who's calling the ambulance / social services etc, and then acting as if it was the other way round. It's like he's declared war on anyone who responds to his request for help - perverse, I know, and very unproductive for everyone, incl. Mr L! :/ Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-70172285566317689152013-07-12T06:17:48.923+00:002013-07-12T06:17:48.923+00:00It's interesting how here in the USA where we ...It's interesting how here in the USA where we don't have national health, the old man next door to me, who is as weird and ugly as your man, has managed to keep the social services agencies at bay for over two years by walking Every Single Day around our building in the sunshine so we all can see that he's still upright and no one calls the lady with the clipboard, as we call them here. It's astonishing to me how he does it but there he is, day after day after day...Lynda Halliger Otvos (Lynda M O)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08938791116446859160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-14660588693577833672013-07-04T14:05:24.503+00:002013-07-04T14:05:24.503+00:00It does emphasise the lack of 'joined up think...It does emphasise the lack of 'joined up thinking' - which is a shame, given that with a little more co-operation everyone could win.

The business of mental capacity is fraught ...Hi TV<br /><br />The business of mental capacity is fraught and I don't envy the GPs and MH professionals who have to decide these things. Personally I don't think Mr Landsman can be far off being sectioned, but then again he's been like this for a while, so who knows? <br /><br />It strikes me that there are just a handful of 'frequent flyers' who demand an extravagant amount of resource and attention, so I don't understand why they're not made a special focus of some multi-agency attention: social services, GP, A&E, Ambulance &c. It would be worth everyone's time to 'sort them out' one way or another. Also, if they have capacity, they should carry the consequence of their actions like anyone else. The whole area is under-played at the moment.<br /> <br />*jumps down off soapbox* :) Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-7454943855481339592013-07-04T02:10:34.768+00:002013-07-04T02:10:34.768+00:00What a thoroughly horrible person.

If I'd been standing there, and happily I haven't, I'd have asked him why there is feces on his carpet, and probably told him to his face that he's mentally ill and that he please check himself into an institutuion. And then I'd have been fired. Oh well. TomVeenoreply@blogger.com
