I was admitted here and sadly it was not the first mental hospital i have been at. I have to say that when i first was admitted i was not volunteerly admitted i wanted to go home but the lady who was admitting me told me that if i didnt sign myself in they would get a 72 hour hold me from the doctor and then i would have to go through to see a judge who could make me stay for up to a week. So she said if i signed myself in that i would be out in 24 hours. Well this was the first time i had been in one as an adult and i didnt know that wasnt true. When i was in there they put me on wht the staff and patients called ""the really crazy"" side. I had other patents walk in on me while i was in bathroom and the staff did nothing when patients would touch me. One night i was havng a severe reaction to a medicine and i fealt as if i could not breathe i requested medical attention and they did nothing i had to sick through it and i was not allowed to speak to a doctor or go to the hosptal as i requested. I was told to sit and breathe. I ened up getting discharged when i was able to tell the nurses they were full of it and that if i did not speak with someone to sign myself out that i would seek legal action for false imprisionment. all of a sudden i am sane and coherant and i was allowed to sign myself out. this place is a load of crp and a scam, i would love to see it shut down so no one else gets bullied into treatment.
