In my searching ... I did find this, seems it's been a problem in PA for a long time.... http://www.nami.org/Template.cfm?Sec...c%20Facilities

Do you have a lawyer? Of course you need to notify the director of the hospital, but you might wish to talk to a lawyer first, so they can request the records before they "disappear"? You might consider contacting the State Attorney for your State...they may have an online form even.

Write down all the details while they are fresh in your mind. You might also wish to talk to your T about it.

I had a bad incident one year as well. But it was with the hospital itself. I don't have a psychiatrist, but you need one for admission. With a bad hurricane coming, a psychiatrist that was working "with" my T arranged for me to go in overnight during the storm. They refused to allow me in. The security had me sleeping on the floor in the waiting room (designated corner) me with my pain etc?! Then the State Troopers came and demanded I leave (in the middle of the storm mind you) or they would arrest me. All this time both my T and the Pdoc were trying to get them on the phone---they refused to speak to either. The Pdoc ended up cancelling her relationship with that hospital altogether, and later retired due to the bad conditions in most hospitals down here. I ended up being taken to the county holding hospital, but only in the waiting room. You see, I had my service dog with me and no one wanted that. The ADA did nothing.

Anyway...good wishes on this. You won't be able to go back to that facility anyway I guess, unless there's an overhaul and that's probably not happening. It might not be worth the stress of complaining as they are novel at making the patient look, well, mentally ill.
