And I’m saying they intentionally misapplied that statute because I did not want to be treated there - that was my only expression of anything. I remember everything, threatened no one (nor myself). They decided and that was that.
No ‘doctor’ evaluated me as a 10-13. That was the EMTs (I heard them call it in) and from then on it was rote “take your rights away.” Their critical lack of sodium diagnosis was BS. All I needed was a quick increase in sodium levels that could have been done without all the Gestapo stuff....
And that foreign Muslim doktor in charge of me wouldn’t let me go until my levels hit his mark of acceptability. What I should have been doing instead of trying to assert my rights is to call the lawyers my daughter work for.
However all the nurse and doctors I work with in my hospitals ER have told me any person over the age of 18 and of sound mind and body can refuse treatment and sign themselves out.
Believe me if you're not in any imminent life threatening situation or are a threat to yourself or anyone else they'd be happy to discharge you and move on to the next patient. In every hospital ER and in every room of every hospital is a large sign called a "Patients Bill Of Rights''. Not to pry or cast aspersions at you but what was the name of this hospital and why didn't you want to go there?
