He "believes the facility is providing quality patient care, is secure and ... doesn’t foresee any changes in policies or procedures" - after proclaiming himself "worth my weight in gold."

Figures.

Am I the only one that finds this really scary?

Deranged murderers can walk off the site and travel for miles with out being apprehended, yet this joker sees no need for immediate change?

:help2:

Why do you think we keep the doors locked at all times at Station 4 down at the end of the hospitals main entrance?

LOL Funny CarlE

But Seriously, a couple of months before the big escape fiasco up there, I was in charge at the station and my partner and I were in the TV room having lunch when a guy just walked in (didn't knock or ring the doorbell or anything)....He started asking the two of us all these weird questions and for directions to the highway and stuff, then told us that his car had run out of gas and was there any way he could borrow a few bucks from us for gas....Well we both lied and said we didn't have any money on us, but we couldn't get him out of the station. Shortly after that the phone rang and when I hung up I told him that we had a non-emergency call and had to take off and that I would gladly call the Police to come down and help him out. Well when I mentioned the PD he got kinda squirrely and left....Found out later that he had walked off from the State Hospital and was there because he was being evaluated after pleading insanity or mental insufficiency or some BS for multiple assault charges and either a murder or attempted murder charge....We never did find out exactly for sure what charges he was there for because they said it was "priveleged information"


We weren't even warned when the two murder suspects escaped/walked off and we were just a few hundred yards down at the end of their main entrance...we're the first place they could make contact with another person, find food, clothes, drugs, dangerous objects to harm others with and vehicles to get away....Which is total BS!

It seems ironic that the State of Ohio hired this guy to repair major damage in the system and he does not call for some quick changes.

In the article in The Independent, Mr. Carpenter sounded more like the CEO of Goldman Sachs than the CEO of Heartland as he quipped, "I wouldn't be worth my weight in gold..." alluding to the major change in "employee morale" during the last TWO WEEKS! That is one of the most egotistically arrogant statements that I have ever read in a newspaper or online.

It would be nice if any members of the Heartland Staff would write in and tell us how he accomplished this major change in morale. If he did, then more power to him; if he didn't then he should not purport himself to be the savior of Heartland.
