In reply to Psych Hospitalizations Agree or Diagree?, posted by Phillipa on November 4, 2008, at 0:46:19
I had a very bad responce to a hospitalization.
I got real, real sick and had diahera , and vomiting at the same time over, and over again. I told the nurse, and he wanted me to show him the puke, and when I did it was clear from throwing up so much, they think everyone is nuts, he told me it was just water. I was severly ill.. and asked him to call the doc. He told me the only doc he was going to call is a psychatirst, Once again he thought i was nuts.
Then I woke up the next day and had a very high temp, something like 103.
They finally believed me because it was not just me that was sick, like 5 other people had a high fever..the idiot finally called a doctor.
Then I asked a nurse when I get to leave because they were not treating me right, there was no trained psychologist, mostly just body guards witbhot degrees, following you around taking note of everything you say, and constinatly asking, DO YOU STILL WANT TO KILL YOURSELF. It was embarresing. When I asked her when I got to leave, even though i was the voulantary, but still treated like dirt, and my roomate had psycosis, it was not a good experience. She lied and told me that my mom called and they were sending me somewere long term, which she never said she was just lieng to get me angry.
I was constantly harrased by some overweight guy because I had substance abuse problems, they acted like that was my main reason, but it was not it was extreme anxiety, and mental breakdown.
Then, I think I caught hep C there, it was very nasty, and the nurses kept sticking me with needles.
My liver enzymes were rising to a extreme level, specially because I was on depakote.
But I had hep C, and they knew but they were trying to keep it secret for some reason.
Then, they were rushing me out because my insurance no longer wanted to pay, and some doctor from the bottom floor came up and yelled at the nurse, and said he wanted to talk to somebody who was treating this patient. He was furious. I wsa right there and I thought something was major wrong by the way he talked, he did not know i was standing right there.
Before I left the doc from the down floor and his other assoociates came and felt my belly and said I might have some kind of hepatits. But he said don't jump to the conclusion that is C, it could be med related.
He gave me another doctor to follow up.
I went there for six months ever 3 weeks, my liver enzymes were up every single time. He did not know what was causing it, then after six months he said I was fine and I had no hepatis or anything, i was free to go.
Bad news for me, a year later, I had a episode where I was hospitalized and they said my enzymes where up again. I finally got a test for Hep C, and I came up positive.
I don't know how somone could check my liver for six months, and not find something.
I think they were hiding it.
They were a bunch of bafoons.
I was hospitalized again for depression same thing, not as bad, but all we did is do art, and play three year old games..no real thearpy, just meds, and a ticket to leave in 4 days. How can you get better if you can only stay for 4 days I dont understand?
