I was in twice for a broken arm.  The first time right after it happened so they could put a pin in it, and the second time to do MORE surgery since the first one didn't work and the bone didn't heal.  All is well now, though!  I also work in a hospital.  Would rather work there than be a patient ANY day!!!

Put in a hospital for the criminally insane until they are better.

Up until very recently, I was the head cook for an upscale facility that did hospital, cafeteria and restaurant cooking based on medical needs and mood of the individual resident.  It was a very rewarding job and I loved taking the time to visit with our residents.  When I'm done with my own medical treatments, I plan on returning, too!\n\n~Morg~

I can't say that I ever have. However, I've seen the mental ward at our local hospital. Looks like ordinary hospital rooms to me. I think the padded rooms went out many years ago!!!

well I was a CNA in training and we had clinicals at a nursing home and we were getting trained on putting depends on seniors, but we were using each other. So we had to lay in a bed and act immobile while someone rolled us around putting on depends and getting us dressed (we wore shorts and a tank top and they had to put on depends, pants and a tshirt) well when it was my turn they got my depends on and my pants on and the fire alarm went off. So in my diaper I had to help get resedents out the building, well I was helping one edderly lady down the stairs and she tripped and i fell trying to support her. I was put in the ambulance to get taken to the hospital becuase i had a huge knot on my head, and a cut on my leg. well they took off my pants and yep....i wa sstill wearing the diaper. one of the nurses asked if i was even a resident! lol

I hate hospitals so I know how you feel, what I have done is to read self help books and cds, I feel great now I have a positive outlook on life, I feel better healthwise as I used to think all pain led to being sent to hospital. I don't think about the problem  I once had, though I am epileptic I still have to take medication,but all other pills are a thing of the past, I relax more life is great.\nGood luck.

If the doctor won't let her leave then he thinks she is in danger. Do not let her out. She needs to remain hospitalized until she is stable and diagnosed. Have them sedate her if need be.

Mental?\n\nJohn and David were both patients in a Mental hospital.\nOne day while they were walking past the hospital swimming\npool, John suddenly dove into the deep end. He sunk to the\nbottom and stayed there. David promptly jumped in to save\nhim.  He swam to the bottom of the pool and pulled John out.\n\nThe medical director came to know of David's heroic act...\nHe immediately ordered that David be discharged from the\nMental hospital, as he considered him to be okay.\n\nDoctor: We have good news and bad news for you, David!\nThe good news is that we are going to discharge you because\nyou have regained your senses. Since you were able to jump\nin and save another patient you must be mentally stable.\n\nThe bad news is that the patient whom you saved, Mr. John hung\nhimself in the bathroom, and died. David replied, Doctor he\ndidn't hang himself, I hung him there to dry.

depends on what you were committed for - did you check yourself in, or did somebody else take you there?  what did you do to get yourself admitted?  If you checked yourself in, then most likely you can leave on your own, but if you were involuntarily admitted (somebody took you there against your will) then you probably can't check yourself out until you get evaluated by a doctor and given an okay.

Find out the name of the Hospital where she works. You could pretend you were visiting some patient in the same ward where she is on duty.

Find out why? They could have a serious problem that is weighing VERY heavily on their mind. They may need help, for if there is no good reason that they forgot, then they really WILL need help, from a hospital.

yes i have been in most of my life and it's not what others expect depends on the state and the facility u are put in along with the care u recive there i agree some of them should be closed down due to the things that happends in there i was rped and locked in rooms, chained down to the bed and given muscle relaxors just because the nurses didnt want to be bothered with me other places actually listened to me and what was going on so it just depends on the place and the people that are running it

I don't care if it's ICU or the ER, everyone receiving health care today REQUIRES AN ADVOCATE!!!!.  ESPECIALLY if the patient is unable to monitor his/her own treatment, or easily voice concerns.\n\nUnless you're proving to be disruptive, i.e. loud, interrupting to staff, agitating patient, a threat of any kind to patient(s) or staff, there is no cause to require you to leave.\n\nOften, nurses (staff) appreciate a family member who can be of assistance - their loads are filled to the brim.  Just ensure that you are a benefit, not a detraction to the care being provided.
