All my mh teams have bent over backwards to get me into the best hospitals/housing that they can, not just the cheapest or easiest.
One professional especially, has been incredible. He took me as a patient into the hospital he runs when no other hospital would take me, i had to get sent away though because of something i did, but 2 years later, i was in trouble and phoned him up, he came to see me and broke his neck writing a risk assessment to get me back into the unit/housing he runs, i was pregnant and high risk to myself and others, so wasn't easy, but he did it.
He kept me going on Christmas day by spending hours on the phone with me. I still talk to him, he still spends hours on the phone with me even though i haven't been his patient since June 2012.
Also, a consultant psych who let me stay on a ward to give me my baby the best chance of staying together. Without her letting us do that, we would have been separated from when baby was born and i would have ended up in a hostel somewhere.
I've been very lucky.
