That's because, despite all of the excuses this person has made for themselves, the point is to humiliate you. They want to make sure you know your place, that they are in charge, and that standing up for yourself is futile.
Comment on Why are mental hospitals run like prisons?

Okay, sure. But the alternative would be “someone gets stabbed”
AlissaSameer@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’d rather be stabbed since I have a death wish

I don’t want to hurt anyone else, just myself. I can’t help it at this point so I don’t think mistreating me is going to solve it

It's not just you that they're worried could get stabbed, it could be anyone.
I took some psych courses in University and one of my profs was full of anecdotes about patients he'd cared for, there were people who were perfectly nice and calm and then in a split second something would go unpredictably wrong and they'd be savagely attacking whoever they could get their hands on.
And then a moment later they'd be beside themselves with dismay over having "lost it", apologizing sincerely and profusely. He said it was really hard keeping on your toes in there. He permanently lost his hearing in one ear when one of his patients slapped him out of the blue one time, to both of their surprise. If anything remotely like a weapon was easily accessible it could go very badly.
I'm sorry your experience was unpleasant, and of course I can't remotely speak to it myself - it was your experience, not mine. But it could be that the stuff that was done was for everyone's protection.

Thanks but they had no reason to think I’m going to hurt others

No, that would be the response.
