Bullshit

My mom had a doctor's appointment yesterday, to get her blood pressure checked, and hopefully under control. She's been going through some mess with it lately because its been 200+/100+. She didn't go to it because the roads were icy, and the appointment was at 7 am. Later in the day, she felt like she needed to go and said she was going to the clinic.

I get a phone call and don't pick up because I didn't recognize the number. Its my mom from the ER letting me know she was there, her blood pressure had come down, and they were about to let her go.

A few hours go by, and I'm starting to get worried. My grandmother calls me and asks me if I've heard from her, and tells me she's been transferred to Peachford Hospital. Peachford?

I call Peachford. She isn't there. I call the VA. She isn't there AND they pretty much tell me that Peachford wouldn't tell me if she was with them anyway, and that mom will call me later. I am livid.

I finally get a call from mom, and she's at Peachford, they've taken all of her things from her and left her car at the VA, and given her some pajamas and cigarettes. And told her she might be there...for 3 days...

I try to stay up and wait to hear back on if I can see her (even though I figured I couldn't) and go to sleep pretty late. I get a phone call that wakes me up at 9 this morning that I miss. I have a couple of messages from mom and she gives me her patient number and says I can visit between 1 and 2. I go. What do I find out? Nothing.

Apparently some dumbass psychologist decided to lock my mom in Peachford for we're guessing depression. She answer the mental health questions at the VA the same exact way every time they ask them, but this time they decided she needed help, even though she already has a frickin psychologist. They cart her off, even though she said she didn't want to hurt herself or anyone else, and have her stuck there with cold food, nasty ass women, and dirty ass bathrooms. W. T. F.

I've wanted to hurt people since last night over this mess. They are doing nothing but making her madder and madder, and she already has high blood pressure. They are giving her blood pressure meds that had already stopped working, not to mention they're not giving her the other meds she takes daily. This is bullshit.

Aren't there some kind of patient's rights against this shit?!?! How in the hell can you take someone who DOESN'T want to hurt herself, DOESN'T want to hurt others, and ALREADY HAS A PSYCHOLOGIST SHE SEES REGULARLY TO A FUCKING MENTAL HEALTH HOSPITAL, AGAINST THEIR WILL?!?!?!

If my mom dies in that motherfucking bitch ass hospital there will be hell to pay.
