Hospital B

4 hours in an emergency waiting room ( If some one was serious about harming themselves or any one else there were needles and a lot of other stuff to use to self or other harm in the emergency room and my husband was in and out so I had a chance if I had really been serious.

I had been told if I went willingly I would get only 4 hours, I found out this did not include the emergency room time - which was as I stated 4 hours. I asked to go home at the 4 hour mark, but was not happy when i was told I was 96'd. I never had ever heard that term. I have since talked to many that know all about it. I questioned it and suddenly had 3 security guard around me. They would not let me call my lawyer not have my stuff. They made me get in a wheelchair by threatening straight jacket. I have always got out of anything I set my mind to if I really did not want to do it( I am not talking about things promised here, but what someone may put on me, I want to avoid.) I kept thinking how I was missing my daily walk, my kids trauma and taking care of my birds.
Finally I was getting somewhere and maybe once I got to this place in the wheelchair, maybe I could go home.

I was wrong- I will never call that phone # again to talk to anyone ever again!!!! All I could think of was what I would miss at home and my stubbornness turned into tears as they stripped me like a criminal and wrote down any mark on my skin.
I am not a druggie I stated. all they had on me was my psoriasis, tick marks and surgery scar- no drug tracks or cutting. I was so humiliated. My standards and convictions is to keep the law. Mortified and humiliated.
MY bottom was open and exposed as i was given an hospital gown to put on. They searched my purse and clothing I had brought and finally offered me scrub pants to cover me up. I thanked God for these. So embarrassing, as I cried.
The head nurse was very kind to me at the desk and i stopped my tears. They only allowed me my books from home. I suppose those that made me come here did not know because I thought why did they not tell me all I packed was for naught?
They helped me to a room where another girl was out. By then it was midnight and I was thinking: "Oh no I share a room." They  had me to take sleeping meds and I conked like a log. Glad to forget.

Part C In a few days .
