[QUOTE="klmno, post: 237174, member: 3699"] The ER will transport him to another hospital after it's determined that he needs admittance, so she can go to the closest ER. If in doubt, call the closest ER and asked if they have a psychiatrist on ER duty who can evaluate a child. That takes a few hours, but once evaluated by a psychiatrist, it's usually found worth admitting the kid. I've never had a problem with ER psychiatrist not taking stuff seriously. You know our stories here though- she might only get a few days in inpatient, but, if he's never been hospitalized before, they normally do some testing- EEG and so forth. Don't bank on neuropsychologist. They will definitely review medications and send him home with rx's for whatever they decide to try him on. They will put him on something while there, do blood tests and so forth. At least, I think that's typical at all psychiatric hospital's. [/QUOTE]
