Different hospitals in Calif are all different....but it is common to discharge the patient when the pdoc is pushed tobgetbthem out whether insurance issues or the need for a bed for someone else coming in. I was in more psych hospitals around the So. Calif area than I can even remember from UCLA to private ones. I found private psych hospitals to be better (though not great either).

So sorry you & your GF have had this experience. I can understand her daughters way of responding also. She needs to feel safe where she lives & maybe the way she is handling it at this time is best for all????
