? PSYCH: Patient "placed on sundown" - AZMT

Posted: Feb 13, 2010

In psych report, the shrink says that the patient "was placed on sundown in the community." This is VERY clear. I Googled, which yielded nothing. Any ideas?

chances are they are referring to this - Snow Bunny

Thank you. I saw that and read it.

"Placed on sundown?" How is a patient "placed" on a syndrome? That doesn't make sense to me.

Here's Why - MT

Because they often clip things. Sundown protocol (or precaution) could easily become sundown. An example would be if a person is suicidal and they want to place the patient with a one-on-one sitter, or place on one-on-one [sitter] protocol. They might just say, "place on one-on-one."

Only you can decide on your own report.

Okay. I knew what the syndrome was, but being "placed" on it didn't make any sense. Thank you.

Have recent years experience with psych - what you are hearing is correct.

Yes, but - AZMT

It is also incomplete so made no sense until I read the other explanation. (I'm one of those old-timers who wants to know what it means, not just what was said.)

Are you working on a psych account? I am very interested - psych

in this field and would like to apply for psychology transcription.
How do you find MTing in pyschology? Is it difficult or not so tough? Is it more straight or VR?
Thanks for answering!
