[QUOTE="mazdamama, post: 439525, member: 12227"] been there done that...oh boy can I relate. Last time my Daniel was Baker Acted (Marchment Act) I had taken him where the insurance company told me to to avoid the pitiful place they have closer. At 11 pm I received a call saying that he had been transferred to the closer place due to insurance issues. Went over there the next day with his newly filled bottle of depakote because they had NONE on site and it was a weekend. No count was made of the medication (WRONG) and I was informed that they wanted to add another medication and I okayed it (stupid). I was told by the staff attendant that this child needed alot of care due to his extreme anger issues (you think?) and only spoke with the Dr via the phone. The day after the attendant told me that Daniel would need to be kept longer I was called and told to come get him. When I arrived I noted a police car at the door for admissions...apparently they had an admission and needed Daniel's bed. I asked for Daniel's depakote and was told that he had used them all and the bottle had been tossed in the garbage. I blew a gasket because this bottle had just been filled. My count at home showed that even with them giving him what he needed those three days he was there that we were short 26 pills. I do feel that they used the medications I gave them for their supply to other patients. I checked out their site on the computer and sent a very informative letter to the administration of this state funded group. I received a phone call within two days of mailing the letter and from what I understand...heads were rolling like bowling balls over there. Only problem is that if I have to call 911 on Daniel again they will take him there and I hate that place. They will most likely either try to hassle me or give me and my child the respect that is deserved.....if not the respect then the governor's office will be hearing from me. We HAVE to be proactive with our children's health issues, even if it means ticking people off. [/QUOTE]
