I'm mad at the hospital near my grandma's house, but this hospital is also outside the continental US in PR. It's basically a 3rd world country for all intents and purposes here. It's in the midst of a healthcare crisis and the economy is failing (well, I think it's failed already).

But anyway, she went in to IP a while back because she tried to commit sui.

The hospital let her go because they didn't believe she was a threat to herself. She said it was "an accident" and well... we can't prove anything. (She said to us that she was suicidal and we assume that she did SH on purpose.) So, it didn't look obvious to the hospital that it was a sui attempt.

My dad brought her in AGAIN last night, but this time for for sui ideation...

The hospital said that she didn't have active sui thoughts (which I don't believe because she threatened a sui attempt a total of 3 times since my grandfather's death on July 4, 2016). She apparently told them that she "exaggerated" them and that she was fine, so they let her go. (WTF??)

This is the same damn place that let her go when she had convulsions at home. She had hit her head and they said, "well, there's nothing we can do." Then they let her go home instead of observing her.



She goes in and out of sui ideation. She has dementia, so sometimes she remembers that my grandfather passed away (that's when she's suicidal) and sometimes she forgets (that's when she's fine).
