Page 1503 - 6. 2016 Diary 1st half New 26-05-21 No Table

Simon at about 21:35hrs was called for his prescribed night medication. He was given his
1mg Lorazepam and 5mg Olanzapine tablet as prescribed for the night. He refused the 5mg
Olanzapine, with claim that ward doctor that prescribed the medication did not discussed
Olanzapine with him. He also went further to contradict himself that same prescribing doctor
has instructed him that he doesn't have to take any anti-psychotic medication. Nursing staff
then tried to explore the reason why he doesn’t want to take his medication; Perhaps due to
taste or difficulty in swallowing, so that alternative route could be explored when feeding
back to the MDT during white board meetings. Instead of listening to the staff talking to him,
he claimed to have taken picture and recording the staff present during the interaction. At this
point, the staff asked him to delete the content if he had actually done that because it’s not
with his consent and it’s not an acceptable practice. Instead of deleting the content of what he
might have taken, he ran to his room to phone his mother, that he was being advised to take
his prescribed medication against his will and that he could be given injection if he continues
to refuse medication orally. The mother then phones the ward to inform the ward staff GD
that her son, if going by the previous judgment they have got from the Supreme Court. Simon
has the right to record any interaction at any public place, in which hospital is one of them.
The mother went further to inform staff that she has spoken with the team doctor (no name
given) about her son medication and that it was an agreement that Simon should only be
taken 1mg Lorazepam now while subsequent medication review has to be weekly. Hence,
they have not done further review, no staff should encourage son to take any anti-psychotic
medication prescribed on the ward. The mother claimed that the said doctor and her were of
the opinion to wait and see how Simon reacts to Lorazepam before he can think of taking any
other medication. In addition to the above, Simon himself played the audio recording of
interactions with doctor and social workers from the previous encounter, when trying to
delete the one he did tonight. He then claimed that he has not present this recording in the
court because he doesn't want that social worker in the recorded content sacked. However,
the shift coordinator advised the mother to work with care team in a way that could enhance
the best interest of Simon. Also, to encourage son to be compliant with his treatment plan as
an inpatient on the ward. Furthermore, Simon to stop recording and taking picture of caring
team without their consent because, it’s not part of treatment package.
