minus-squarebitwolf@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up34·edit-21 天前I went to the hospital for a cough (it was ultimately pneumonia). It was a holiday so Drs weren’t open. During intake they determined I was a “threat to myself and others”, detained me, and drugged me. They tried to make me foot the bill and sent me to collections without any prior notice months later. I disputed it with credit. And explained the situation, how I was held against my will and how they exceeded the scope of care. The credit bureau surprisingly sided with me and cleared my credit of any wrong doing. I later found out that several American hospitals were needlessly drugging adolescents and it was a huge problem.

They denied me phone calls to my family for over 24hrs so they were worried and looking for me. I’ll never forget the slap in the face when I got out and they billed me 50$ for a grilled cheese sandwich and saltines.
