Worker there said it would be another 30 to 45 minutes waiting in the police car. Finally get in, I repeat the bathroom request , officer nearly sends me there, psych ER sends me to sit on a bench. They tell the officer to handcuff me to the bench. I mention again I really, really need the bathroom , officer says it won’t be long. I wait other 30 to 45 minutes for a pdoc to show up who says uncuff me from the bench, I think I had to answer a bunch of intake questions too, THEN I finally get the bathroom.
And I am supposed to pay $1700 for that? It wasn’t my choice, and they didn’t let me use the restroom for ages. It was so uncomfortable. It’s a wonder I.did pee my pants. Will call insurance tomorrow, and if they won’t pay, H says we should threaten with a malpractice suit because really, that put me under a ton of duress. That was God awful uncomfortable.
Yep, asked for the paper to be mailed for the fees to be waived and no. I will ask again tomorrow, what if I sign them with a notary present. I have BP and panic disorders, both considered disabilities. I cannot drive downtown without a 95% chance of a panic attack. H can’t take off work. They are open until 6 and had the gall to suggest H pick daughter up from school p, take her on at least a 1.5 hr drive in rush hour traffic (no fast offs if she needs the bathroom), causing a 3 hr delay before she can start her homework? And even then, it is not 100% he can make the drive and park before they close at 6.

I also agree you should not have to pay that bill. It wasn't your choice, and it's not like they decided you needed to be inpatient and were not able to make choices at that time. The whole thing sounds so frustrating.
