It was weird, because the hospital he was in actually was one of those ones that holds you for 2 or 3 days, then ejects you whether you're ready or not. I don't know why they got such a firm grip on my son. I sent my sister out to retrieve him (he was 750 miles from home), but she let the doctors wow her and came home without him. So I went down there and told them I wasn't leaving without my son, and they reluctantly let him go.

It was a frustrating experience for all of us, and I can easily see why it might feed paranoia in a person who was prone to it.
