My cousin had an epileptic seizure with a knife in her hand and when she went to the hospital, they did not believe her and accused her of attempted suicide. They kidnapped her and would not let her leave. She called me and I did the only thing I could think to do when a family member is kidnapped, ...I went to rescue her. They assaulted her and have inflicted more damage than she could ever do to herself, this was "FOR HER OWN GOOD"! In order to keep you from hurting yourself, they attack you and hit your children!

You have to understand though, if those doctors were to let you or her go, just because you guys said you were fine, and took your word for it, and either of you went home the next day without an evaluation and killed yourselves, that hospital could get in really big trouble and your family could sue them for wrongful death.
Its the hospitals JOB to make sure you are okay. More than half the people who get taken to the hospital because of an accident of that sort, say that it was just a mistake and they are fine, when in reality they are not fine.
The hopsital did there job.
Could the nurse have handled it better? Of course! They could of went about it a different way. But in the end, they were not in the wrong.

I will be the first to admit the mental health care system isn't up to par, there is a shortage of nurses, doctors and facilities. The rules and regulations are not always as they should be - however with this said it is better than no care at all. You said you don't like Drs but when you didn't feel well you called one. I think most people don't like the idea of seeing a Dr. because it might indicate they are sick and no one wants to be sick.
