Many of may know that my oldest daughter K is currently IP since Tuesday. I filed a complaint and I contacted the state office to get a grieve form e-mailed to me. Today I received a call from Jane Doe with ABC Hospital. She said, she received my compliant and wanted to speak to me. I told her that would not be a problem. I explained my complaint is that I came to the hospital to be my daughter’s advocate. I spoke with a supervisor that said my daughter would need to sign a release. I said ok. He never told her I came or asked if she wanted to sign a release. Then when I talked to my daughter K that night at midnight. She said, she had been asking for me. That she asked several times have you talked to my mom. Your staff never simply told my daughter that she needed to complete a release of information form. Instead they ignored her. First I was pissed because she’s only 20 years old. But as a former mental health social worker anyone regardless of age has a right to have an advocate. I told Jane Doe that I had received a grievance form from the state and I would be completing it. Ms. Doe asked if there was anything she could do? I said yes don’t break the law.

I received a call from my daughter K a few hours later. She said someone from ABC Hospital came to see her. K is in another hospital 1 hour and 20 minutes away from ABC Hospital. They had her sign a release of information and put my name on it. I guess their going to try to back date it lol.
What they forgot is they had to sign in to the current hospital that she’s in. I noted the date so I could add it to my complaint form.
