[QUOTE="WSM, post: 254885, member: 5169"] I'm so sorry, I can just imagine how frantic you must feel. But it seems as though Brandie is all right right now, whatever might have happened last night--and it might have been nothing more than falling tripping on a curb and twisting her ankle or cutting her thumb making a sandwich. She's all right now. A couple random thoughts: Because of HIPAA hospitals will not give out info about who is in the hospital. Just a month or two ago my husband's ex called from H*** Mental Health Center (or so it said on the caller ID) after being committed and left a filthy message on our answering machine. My husband called back and asked to speak to the psychiatric floor manager abt her. Again they said she'd never checked in. My husband explained what happened and said he wanted no more phone calls from her. They got the floor manager, who listened to the message, sighed and said, "She's been such a management problem." She had been there. So perhaps Brandie had gone to the hospital. Another thought: perhaps it is Brandie herself who called her aunt, which is how she knew her name and such; she used an intermediary, so her voice wouldn't be recognized. Is Brandie prone to drama? Perhaps she wanted reassurance? I'm not saying she did, only that it's one possibility out of dozens. An last thought: What kind of a person calls up and says, "Your daughter's been hurt enough to be hospitalized, but I don't have time to tell you anything more, gotta go now?" This person didn't even have time to say, she was beat up, she fell down the stairs, she was raped, she almost OD'd; whatever? "- A friend, she was hurt last night and was asking for her Auntie My sister: How was she hurt? - She is in Jacobe Hospital, it is imperative My sister: Whose number is ***** and how was she hurt? - I have to go, please go see her" This person who took the time to make the call, didn't have the time to say, "Her boyfriend beat her up and she's in Jacobe Hospital, it is imperative..." Five more syllables, how hard is that? This sounds like a mind game. If they cared enough to call twice, why not care enough to explain? And if there wasn't time to say much the first time, why didn't they make sure they had enough time to explain a bit the second time they called? The crisis was apparently over, so why didn't the caller choose a time to call in which she/he could answer a couple basic questions. And why send you to a hospital Brandie was never in, or is no longer at? And why the discrepency in locations? Would someone [I]want[/I] to send you on a wild goose chase? I'm so sorry you have to deal with this; it must be maddening and horrible. But it's wonderful your sister was able to contact Brandie to reassure yourselves that she was all right [I]now[/I]. I hope you get the answers soon, so you rest easier in your mind. Let us know as soon as you find anything out. I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking of you. [/QUOTE]
