I didn't find anything. But I did fall down a rabbit hole. I'm so confused; there was an article about "the only psych ER" in the city where I go for psych care closing but there's a psych ER at the hospital I go to and it wasn't listed. I'm fairly sure it is open still so I don't know what that is. I know I'm ashamed that I felt 36 hours was far too long to wait the only time I've had to go in through the ER when I have read about how long it takes others. 36 hours was long enough, mainly because they kept serving cold hamburgers and they didn't distribute meds until I begged and they gave me some so I could sleep. I didn't eat hamburgers for months after that admission. I am so blessed that my pdoc works for the hospital system and has directed admitted me every other time.


What is the longest you've waited for a psych bed?
