Maybe... if they weren't imprisoning people who didn't belong there, then there would be beds for those who really need them.

There was NO treatment being given. None. Nada. No counseling, no medication. Not just me but everyone. The "doctor" didn't even know why I was there and he made it clear that he didn't want to know. I got three to five minutes a day with him (when he was in, no weekends or holidays) and it was basically to prove to him that I was cooperating with the program. It was clear to all of us that to talk back to him in any manner would simply prolong our time there.

Did I mention the abusive staff? Nurses who made fun of us? Who would wake us up in the middle of the night constantly?

Insurance was billed $10,000 for nine days. I am still paying (as slowly as I can) the $2,000 deductible. That does not include the $4,000 to be made to sleep on a stretcher in the ER. And the $800 portion of the $4,000 ambulance ride.
