Why’d they let him out?
There was nothing wrong with him. Being a crushed snowflake is not a psychiatric illness compared to the other patients there. They kept him for three days which is the maximum allowable for a self-admittance.
Because Medicaid/Medicare penalize hospitals for recidivism over so many hours. Happened to my step-dad when they kicked him out in the cold at 1:30 in the morning last Sunday. No coverings. No pants. Barefoot. 27° outside.
He’s 93. WW2 Vet. Said they “they needed the bed available”. “We can’t do anything for him.”
Yes, we’re considering legal advice.
Loooong story.
