Just deleted a very long answer, because it dawned on me that I can't be sure who might be reading this. Anyway, an older record combined with the problem record, should be enough to get them to do something. My problem record is so full of wrong information, much of it appearing to be intentionally entered, that I can't believe that the hospital would not want to put this situation to a quick end. The lawyer fees that they would have to pay to drag this out would exceed the amount that I'd be willing to settle for now.
They have a lot of personnel at risk. I'm guessing at least 14 total, including 4 supervisors. I don't think they want to risk that a few might corroborate my story, or that they all can get their stories to match close enough. If I hadn't got my record, I'd have never known all this.
Do you have copies of your records. If so that is good. I'd say security guards for just in case. That would be standard not the number just someone with that title. Or any males available. Is this a large or small hospital? Yes an Attending of the ER should be called. As to length of breaks is that what you were told the Attending was on break and a NP was in charge? Can you say exactly what caused the argument good word at this stage? And what actions to you personally were taken? Meds, restraints? I do know we had standing orders for meds to be given or if restrained same with doc called ASAP. But this was on a psych floor. We didn't have psychiatric doctors there. They were called. Frustrating sometimes as took a long time for their calls to be returned. I empathize with you. Does this hospital have a psychiatric unit? Phillipa
