They have definitely. The place gave me PTSD and I called nine months later to get closure and they said they would call me back two days later, and they still haven’t (I called them around Halloween time) but I left that place worse than when I came in... hopefully that helped
I went to Elmhurst ER after my wife broke my nose, (wonderful woman) my sisters took me there as I thought I was getting X-ray and treatment for broken nose and Er Doctor confirmed but then held me all day and night, telling me nothing but I was being evaluated for suicide!!!!! I showed no signs, wanted to get home to my kids, get them away from my wife. I tried to leave the backdoor, 6 security guards talked me, held me down, they where trying to inject me with something. I struggled, and the next thing I know it’s 2 days later and I am in the psych ward in a hospital gown laying in a bed not knowing what or where I am. I was at linden oaks Naperville, had no idea how I got there, was held against my will, all I wanted was my children, I have coping mechanisms that don’t include self harm, suicide, or substance abuse! This was completely wrong!!!
Has anyone found an attorney? I contacted CCHR (non profit) and want to hold this hospital accountable.
my Mother was dumped in the Er because she dosnt have insurance, she was in severe psychosis in ER for 2 days and I specifically said I do not want my mother to be transferred to Elgin public hospital I demanded she gets stabilized before transferring her and Elgin was out of questions. Today I call the Er to speak to my mother and the rude staff tells me they don’t have a patient with the name provided, She told me my mother is an adult and should have told me yesterday she was being transferred. My mother was transferred to Elgin without even knowing about it, she DOSNT speak English and she is in full psychosis. Dr at Elgin told me my mom wants to speak to me because she is scared and DOSNT understand why she is in this facility. My mom doesn’t feel comfortable at Elgin , she wants to see her family but the visiting hours are pretty much not allowing us to visit, kids are not allowed which makes it even worse, phone call restrictions , and Elgin is a far drive from home.
Yes, I definitely feel the same way! I was mistreated and disrespected in all the wrong ways. I was recently an IN PATIENT their and had to get released immediately because of the uncomfortable and unsafe environment.
Considering they’re dealing with patients who have mental health they couldn’t be more careless irresponsible or incompetent. I can’t tell you how many unreturned phone calls I haven’t received.
As the public safety officer told me: “I see no evidence of fraud or malfeasance!” They are doctors! They couldn’t have done anything wrong or illegal!
