I'm livid. Today Mother Francis in Tyler tried to force discharge her despite her not being able to walk still. They started calling saying she was discharged and we had to pick her up around 3 or 4 in the afternoon (It's over a 2 hour drive to get there!). What they are doing is not only illegal, it is so wrong that one of the nurses involved anonymously called Adult Protective Services. The hospital agreed to keep her one more night to try to get her into a physical rehab facility that does not take charity cases, but we will be presented with an additional bill for the service of keeping her another night... Adult Protective Services is now involved, and was also incredulous since the discharge paperwork said (amongst other insane things) that since she couldn't walk (she could walk up until the day she collapsed) we would need to call the fire department, once we got home, to put her into the house for us. They are taking a patient that is NOT YET able to function as she did before the emergency and are FORCING her out of the hospital! You want an update? There's the update. God Bless.
