Oliver, it seems unethical that they refuse you ip care if it's needed and you want it. Can't you go to a different hospital on your own? I'm in a very rural area and each county has their own primary for psychiatric. My daughter has gone to the one in a neighboring county each time, because where I live it's the closest. If I take her to the hospital in my county, I might be able to get her to a different ip facility, where I've heard they are really good. A friend who was recently ip there said they actually called him a couple weeks after his discharge to see how he was doing. Neither of the ones my daughter has been in did that. That said, I think they were both very good. The nursing staff at each were great. The case workers sucked though.
