September 2, 2010 at my employer at the time Havenwyck Hospital. I was
one of the witnesses to a coworker Jon Rivera threatened a patients life
or the option to get his blood drawn, named Joseph. It was an prolonged
event lasting 45 minutes with no rounds done checking for safety by
then the staff monitoring was Doris. The coworker was non-responsive in
repetative cycle over and over limiting the motion with the
phlebotomist, Amanda and I to access more staff. The senses of any
sudden movement may trigger a reaction to our coworker to resume from
unresponsive state to further the risk for the patients life. The
coworker Jon Rivera was applying pressure with his entire upper body to
the patients air passage above the right side of his chest holding his
face along with the patients upper body under his. I entered the room to
Amanda frozen in position only able to make eye contact for seconds at a
time non aware that the needle was in her hand clenched in a straight
arm behind her back. I positioned placing my hands to my knees as
approached the foot of the bed only able to see Josephs lower body as
his legs paced side to side a still tense position, then Jon trailed his
same commands," Are you going to do this the hard way or are you going
to do what I say?"  The muffled response faded to moans as the physical
movement cycled. Amanda approached standing behind my body out of my
sight, I called out Jon's name with no acknowledgement received, thenI
slowly walked to Amanda stating,"Amanda you have to put the needle away it's not safe, unable to receive a result only a motion of her head to
shift to me then back tranced on Joseph looking down in pattern, I
lightly put one hand on Amandas elbow then the other on her wrist
placing the needle in eyesight prompting to put the needle away, stating
help me, so we can help Joseph. Amanda dazed slightly moving head side
to side stated, Where?" I motioned her direction to her red box that
held the rest of her tools. Amanda stated,"Okay, smiled in a displaced
manner and dashed to follow through, I reminded her to lock it and
motioned closer to Jons kneeling down to be eye length stating,"Jon
where is Josephs face, I cannot see his face, you are holding a patient
at work right now and you are not allowed to hold the patient this way,
then encouraged Joseph to try and remain as calm as he can, I am going
to help him then informed him who I was. I then informed Jon that he is
going to lose his job if he does not let Joseph go, asking him to show
me the patients face. Jon the patient does not have to do the blood
draw, the needle is put up, let me see Jospeh's face? " Jon turned his
face to me never making eye contact shifting head side to side
stating,"What?" I stood up and took a half step away due to the lack of
awareness Jon was displaying. As Jon was distracted focus for seconds
long, Joseph was able to loosen the lock Jon was holding him in
revealing his face, the sight of his reddened flustered expression
gasping for breaths allowed a reassurance that I alert staff  triggered
me. Jon lunged back in to a grasp of the prior position realing in
Joseph's body under his, in the motion I was darting to the door
instantly silenced of my motion to Amanda stating,"Kathy, please don't
leave me." I motioned to Jon and Joseph hen waved my arms out the door,
then to her and I, as Jon repeated in cycle stated,"You are going to do
this the hard way applying pressure to the patient causing his body to
shake at the intensity of his restriction, only allowing a moan by the
patient. Amanda and I paused instantly in the trance of fear that a
persons life at risk in the silenced rage of a coworker trusted to
provide safety to the evidence witnessing a representation of animal
instincts to the threat to wake Jon up resembling a bear over his meal,
the sense of unknowning if woke what the outcome will be. Amanda and I
met eye contact to her nodding head yes help in a whisper! I darted to
the door as Ed was walking by alarmed motioning him in the room
whispering tone stating,"Help, Ed approached the sight confused staring
in a daze called Jon's name, then looked at me stating,"What is Jon
doing?" I replied,"He is somewhere else right now, repeating the same
lines." Ed yelled Jon's name several times, stating to get up!" Jon
readjusted his body turning away from the patient having to lean on the
frame of the bed to lift body, dazed from in between the wall and the
head of the bed supporting his knees that the mattress was not placed,
overlapping the foot of the bed as was when I entered halfway placed on
the frame leaving josephs upper body pressed against wood. Joseph layed
still froze from the release as Jon was turning, Jon struggled to
release to a stance from the short stop positioning stance, Joseph
panicked shifting arms in motion to Jons back making uh sounds as made
contact, loose arm form with open hands. Instantly Jon lunged back
grasping Joseph in the choke hold as before only able to grip neck area.
Ed yelled, "Jon that is enough get up, now Josephs legs were kicking in
every direction as Ed and I attempted to hold each of them Ed got
kicked in the face holding his arm up and put one arm infront of me he
yelled Kathy go get help. I ran from the room paused at the distance of
the nurses station when Ed and Amanda hollared Jon get up!" Then resumed
to the staff in sight stating," April we need staff, Joseph needs help
from Jon!" I then ran back into the room to Jon standing up and Joseph
laying on the bed with his hands placed on his head, then several staff
an in the room. Torri was one of the staff who questioned the blood
draw, encouraging to get it done, April glance at mt as my head was
shaking no, then announced to the staff that we do not need the blood
draw today. Doris then handed me the rounds, I approached Joseph and
encouraged him to come out of his room, then cleared any dirty laundry
and offeres something to drink and reassurance that I will get a
washcloth to wipe the blood off his cheek from a small enough cut to
be from a nail or the placement of his face on the wood. I followed
through with rounds as I talked down the patients concerns. The presence
of Jon after the incident was so calm it was confusing as if what he
did was blank to his conciousness. Carol aproached me shortly following
asking to talk to me stating,"Amanda came to me and I want you to tll me
everything that just happened in that room!" I yelled what if he can
see us, shifting down in the chair I was sitting up in, then asking what
just happened to me?" Carol replied,"I do not know!" I could
not remember anything only able to inform I could not see Josephs face.
Caro excused me and prompted to come to her if I do remember. Then Torri and Carol approached me asking to discuss anything I remember because they just spoke to Joseph and he remembered the entire incident,
recalling me as the voice who saved him. I stated,"I felt like I just
wanted to get Jon off of Joseph, and Amanda was like a stone, so still.
Torrie stated,"she looked stoned?" I stated no her body was like a stone
figure." I then became annoyed with Amanda just standing there and not
getting help just as I blocked the event in whole. I suppressed my
feelings unknowingly forgetting simple day to day routine finding my
self lost in a daze lasting for a half an hour. I regained a
conciousness to the reality to my self in the incident taking place as
it was two weeks later in a state of realization as if only four days
passed engaging in the blocked memories I feared. The same day I wrote
an email to the state questioning the concern that was so silenced at
work and reported the abuse I witnessed, then the fllowing day I arrived
to work and provided my witness statement again reporting the abuse to
Debbie H, my unit manager, Jane lozen, Carol Polley, and Torrie Robinson
in an office that I did not expect to receive the response I was
informed. Debbie h stated,"Kathy we have to think about our jobs, media,
and a lawsuit right now and if we go public the new company may not
follow through with their off to buy this hospital which will cause job
loss for the entire hospital. We need you to not speak of this after you
leave this office." I asked why?" Torri stated," you will lose your job
too, if you speak about this you will be gone, just gone!" I
replied,"what do you mean gone?" Torrie stated," That's it, gone!" As I
looked around to every person and they agreed in the same manner as I
viewed them as I was telling them what I witnessed receiving reassurance
to speak on I was smothered in a fear I was unable to lift for months,
absobing the nervous shock that weighed my characters normal functioning to a tranced fear deserted of any justification, reasoning to my self evident became the target of gas running from a match to burn gone in consistent harassment, dscrimination, and an invitation to a hostile
environment with me as the guest of honor, tagged by any negative
communication because anyone could treat me anyway they wanted and not get in trouble, If management wanted my work environment to be an
uncomfortable, unsafe, intimidating daily shift scheduled as I was the
subject of retaliation, creating gossip became the selling product of
rumors. My displacement of guilt for the patient suffering redirected
the consistent chaotic following events, threatened to misrepresent the
abuse brought on by the employers liability that I was in flow with
dilluted my own self identity to who I was as  person posting blame for
the evidence following. I recall Carol approaching me informing that
Joseph became angry wanting a follow up to discuss the issue as he
approached me in question, so they moved him to the opposite unit
characterizing delusional changing his doctor as well as informed the
doctor to sedate the memories gone, from Dr. Gregory to Dr. Kakar and
from the social worker Marissa to another being Donna who was on a leave
of absence. I was able to absorb all the daily differences to the
reality of how my own employer was creating the ongoing stressful chaos
on purpose. I realized my comfort zone was not hazordous it was the
comfort of my surroundings which is the cause. Joseph does remember the abuse he suffered at Havenwyck Hospital but the Auburn Hills Police Department Refused to investigate the Abuse Report because Havenwyck Hospital covered up a patient being abused at their hospital.

report alive.
