I was seen on September 17, 2026 for Thursday in the late morning by this Emergency Room Dr. Buckley who works for Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego,CA. First, Dr. Buckley's Nurse walked over to my bed and her name is Amanda. Amanda said she's going to take my Blood Pressure. Amanda said my Blood Pressure was kind of at a higher level because I am stressed out. Then Amanda dropped off some medical supplies on this metal table nearby my bed. Amanda said that Dr. Buckley will be walking over to treat my Huge Pus Filled Blister on my left arm. I said okay. Then after Dr. Buckley made his Emergency Room visits to a few other patients before me. Dr. Buckley walked over to my room one hour later. Dr. Buckley is an older man doctor who was very professional, caring and listened to my concerns about my medical condition. Dr. Buckley examined my left hand. My left hand and my left arm was very red and has inflammation on these areas. My left arm was very red and painful. I told Dr. Buckley this house that I am currently living in now has NO AIR Conditioning. This past humidity and very Hot weather conditions has caused my sensitive skin to break out in Allergies and in other serious skin conditions. Dr. Buckley said to me that I should ask the owner of this place to install an Air Conditioning System or buy a lot of Fans to cool down these Hot Weather Conditions. I agree with Dr. Buckley. Then Dr. Buckley said he is going to remove my whole Pus Filled Blister and take off the skin at the site. I saw Dr. Buckley remove the Pus inside my Blister . Dr. Buckley then put this fluid into this large tube with that Q-Tip. Dr. Buckley said this culture will be sent out to an outside Lab. The Test Results will come back in 5 days later. Their Charge Nurse will be calling me with the Test Results soon. Dr. Buckley diagnoses was I contracted Cellulitis. Then Dr. Buckley said I will need to wash the infected skin area with Dial Antibacterial Liquid Soap. Afterwords, I need to put on a new fresh Bandage. I should only change my Bandage once a day. I said sure no problem. Dr. Buckley told me the Redness and the burning sensation I am feeling at that area has been diagnosed as Cellulitis. The Registered Nurse gave me 5 Packets of Triple Antibiotics to put on my left arm and the inflammation . I also need to cover my wound with a sterile bandage once a day. I said I can do this procedure. Dr. Buckley said also he will write up an oral medication Prescription for this Antibiotic called Keflex. This Keflex Antibiotic needs to be taken ASAP. I need to follow the directions and take this prescription medication for a 7 days time period . Dr. Buckley told me that my Cellulitis Infection will feel much better my skin will be cleared up. Dr. Buckley gave me effective quality medical care. I spent about (2 hours) in the Emergency Room Bed. I saw the Registered Nurse send me important information messages in their Sharp App. Amanda the registered nurse also was printing out my Discharge Paperwork for me to follow their instructions. And to take to home with me to my house. I asked Amanda this nurse to please give me a Free Ride from their Uber Company. In order to drive me back to my house. It's only a 14 minute drive one way back to my Home. The price was $20.00. Amanda said that Sharp Memorial Hospital Management has stopped giving out FREE UBER RIDES to their patients. This is because their Sharp Memorial Hospital was to pay for every Uber Ride that is issued out to their patients. There was Nobody who lives in my house who could pick me up from this Sharp Memorial Hospital. Because none of these 4 people who are tenants , they don't own their own cars. I am the only person who has bought and I have owned my same Car for (31) years now. My car is operating in excellent condition. I was very disappointed that Amanda the nurse didn't give be me a FREE Uber Ride back to my house. Amanda said she can only issue me a FREE PRONTO BUS PASS . This FREE BUS PASS will still be Active for a two months period. It will expire on November 17, 2026. Their Security Guard his name is Howard he was very friendly and helpful. Amanda their RN told Howard to walk with me to the Bus Stop number 102 to pick me up at that location. Howard walked me over to the bus stop bench was two blocks away from their Sharp Memorial Hospital. Then I had to wait about (30 minutes) later for the MTS Bus Driver picked me up at this bus stop to take me home. I had to get off about 6 different Bus Stops before I was driven back to my destination towards my house that day. read more

Very disappointing experience with Sharp. I was with Scripps for many years and switched to Sharp when I went on Medicare. I like my primary care doctor, but my last two experiences with Sharp's eye department have been extremely frustrating. At my first appointment, I arrived 20 minutes early as requested, yet waited about 25 minutes past my appointment time just to get into a room, followed by another 20-minute wait for the doctor. I was then told I needed dilating drops, which added another 20-30 minutes. I was never told beforehand that this would be necessary. Yesterday, I arrived 15 minutes early for another eye appointment and waited 45 minutes without being seen. When I asked the front desk when I might be called, they couldn't give me any idea. The staff member was also very unfriendly and seemed bothered that I was asking. I drove all the way from Cardiff for the appointment and ultimately left without being seen. I understand that doctors can run behind, but patients deserve communication and basic courtesy. After these two experiences, I am extremely disappointed with Sharp. read more

I went in for a SECOND VISIT this month, and was taken care of very well in the ER, and the ICU, and the regular hospital NORTH SIDE!!! 3 Levels of Care, 3 Different Doctors, ALL WERE ON THE SAME PAGE!!! I went in very sick with a high fever, and a low blood pressure. Went in Via 911/AMBULANCE, Using FALCK Ambulance Services!!! ***I want to point out the HIGH LEVEL OF CARE, from Nurse Verena on the Last Morning, the Morning of Discharge!!! First and foremost, she came into my room, and asked, "Do you want to be discharged at 9:30 or 10:00 AM?" I said "10:00 AM, and I would also like to have a shower before I go." I HAD A SHOWER, and was DISCHARGED AT 10:05 AM!!!*** read more

Excellent care, attentive and quick with process and results. Came to the ER while on a short vacation and my mom was having an issue. They took her in and out for tests, cleared out the ER fast. She wa diagnosed after a CT scan and they decided to admit her. She got a room within 20 minutes and all staff and nurses explained everything and what they were doing very clearly. I wish this medical group was near us because they were so great read more

So far so good. First impressions count in the overall review for Sharp. Christy at the reception desk of the Patricia Payne Outpatient Surgery Lobby is an exceptional standout! Her demeanor, cheerfulness and helpfulness is outstanding in the most stressful situation (anyone undergoing surgery - big or small could relate to this). She was so pleasant and respectful to all the patients and family members arriving. From registration to the IV, preop nurses - everyone was so kind and privacy protected. In a profession where the every day routine is "routine," they made us feel special and not just another patient. Like I said, so far so good. read more

The care I've experienced was great. Nurses and doctors were great and kind. BUT There was a lot of waiting. I think it was because the hospital was so full. I was in a room in Mary Birch because there was no space for me in the actual hospital. Doctors had to trek far to get to me. I spent majority of my time waiting for doctors to come and discuss my condition. I could have had a shorter hospital stay, and smaller bill, if I didn't spend so many hours just waiting. read more

I am extremely disappointed and concerned about the treatment my mother has received in the ICU at Sharp Memorial Hospital. My mother recently suffered a stroke, and the left side of her body is swollen and numb. Despite her condition and need for assistance, there have been multiple occasions when we feel she has not been treated with the level of care, attention, and compassion she deserves. When our family is not present, she has been left sitting in a chair for more than 30 minutes, to the point that she fell asleep in the chair. Given her medical condition and the weakness and numbness on her left side, this is extremely concerning to our family. There have also been instances where she has asked for cold water and has instead been given warm water, despite specifically requesting cold water. While this may seem like a small issue, when a patient is already vulnerable and dependent on staff for basic needs, repeatedly refusing or disregarding simple requests can be very upsetting. One of the most frustrating parts has been trying to reach the ICU by phone when my mother calls us crying because she feels that staff are being rude to her or refusing to provide the assistance she needs. There have been times when we have called the department trying to check on her or get help, and our calls have not been answered. No family should have to worry about whether their loved one is being treated with dignity and compassion when they are not physically there. We understand that hospital staff are busy and that caring for patients is difficult, but that does not excuse a lack of communication, compassion, or attention to a vulnerable patient's basic needs. I sincerely hope Sharp Memorial Hospital takes these concerns seriously and investigates what is happening in the ICU. My mother deserves to feel safe, respected, listened to, and properly cared for--whether her family is standing beside her or not. read more

Don't bring your loved one to this hospital!!!!!!! They do not make sure that the patient eats or drinks & they leave the food covered far away from their reach. I had to feed my mom every day & give her fluids & it wasn't enough nutrition. Because the nurses and the nutritionists are lazy, they really try to push a feeding tube but why would I agree to a feeding tube when my mom chewed & swallowed on her own!? This definitely was one of the reasons that my mom died in this hospital! She also needed a lung procedure to pull fluids out but they postponed it day after day until my mom ended up in icu. The hospital managers are mean & they gang up on you with the nursing staff when you try to feed your loved one. 3 days before she died, they starved my mom to death, said she couldn't swallow when she could and told me that I had to leave the hospital if I continue to feed her & give her water. RUN DON'T WALK. I tried to transfer her to another hospital the day before she died & they overrode my Medical Power Of Attorney & refused to discharge her, technically holding her prisoner there. I did not know that hospitals have the right to hold your loved one against their wishes & against Medical Power Of Attorney's wishes, but they did, & she DIED. Another thing that happened is previously before her health took a turn for the worst, she was actually ready for discharge. The Dr told me that he refused to discharge my mom to her home where I would be taking care of her (10 years I have been taking care of her) and told me that he will only release her to a nursing facility and that if I wanted to take my mom home than we would have to sign a form that she is leaving the hospital against medical advice. This was the saddest worse hospital experience EVER & I am seeking legal advice. read more

Was in the Trauma center for a week due to a motorcycle accident and the nurses I had were so attentive. Mikaela, Ian, Austin, Ashlee, and Cinnamon were the biggest advocates for me. Hands down the best nurses I had, their care was unmatchable. Amazing hospital, amazing staff. read more

I recently had an experience at Sharp Memorial Hospital that I feel compelled to share. My brother was admitted to the emergency room early in the morning of February 17, 2026 around 8 pm. While we understand that emergency situations can be unpredictable, it took them nearly nine hours for him to be assigned a room on the 5th floor. This wait was quite concerning, especially given the urgency of his condition. Once he was finally settled in, we encountered a significant issue with the registered nurse in charge, Brittnay (employee number 6836). Unfortunately, her attitude left much to be desired. She seemed to believe that she was above everyone else, and any questions we asked were met with a dismissive response, as if she were doing us a favor by engaging. This lack of empathy and professionalism was disheartening and truly overshadowed our experience at the hospital. On a more positive note, I want to commend another nurse, Sara (employee number 5107), who was a bright spot during our stay. She exemplified what nursing should be--compassionate, attentive, and genuinely caring. I would rate her a perfect ten out of ten. Her demeanor and professionalism made a significant difference in a stressful situation, and she deserves recognition for her outstanding care. In conclusion, while I appreciate the services provided by Sharp Memorial Hospital, I believe there is a need for improvement in staff training, particularly in fostering a more empathetic approach to patient care. I hope my feedback is taken seriously, as it could help enhance the experience for future patients. read more

The Sharp Memorial Hospital in the Emergency Department in the City of Claremont is a AMAZING place which I have received GREAT Medical Care from doctors that have treated me with Respect, Patience, Empathy, and they are all very Understanding to my very serious Medical Condition. I have been suffering since May 1, 2026 from a very painful issue that's a Vascular Medical Condition called a DVT that means Deep Venous Thrombosis. I am a woman who has semi-retired from my career in the Administration field and lhe Retail Management Industry. But I am still working on a part-time basis as a Caregiver for this elderly woman who lives in this Independent Living House in San Diego, CA. Yesterday, on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, I called the 911 Dispatcher her name is Carolyn she was very pro-active in asking me these necessary questions about my medical condition before she dispatched out the Falck Ambulance to pick me up at my house read more

--One star for getting my daughter out of an emergency situation; --One star for the nursing staff (shout out to Randi, Ester and others) and support staff (Andee); --One star for ancillary support offered (meditation, music and massage therapy, visitation from therapy dogs) It's taken me quite a while to think about how I'm going to review this hospital, along with their affiliate Sharp network. Let me be clear from the get-go: I do not have all the details, since I do live out of state and much of the events were relayed to me via the patient and other family members that were there on site. BUT, since I did witness some turn of events and actually went to this hospital multiple times, I feel I can give a generally accurate review. After visiting a Sharp-affiliated urgent care clinic twice in a short period of time due to breathing problems, exhaustion, lack of energy, events of collapsing and instances of blurry/obscured vision, Sharp physicians determined that my daughter's asthma was the ultimate culprit. Pleading with them regarding the severity of her symptoms were dismissed. Their advice: increase your asthma medication. When symptoms did not subside (and actually got worse), and at the point of desperation, my daughter reached out to her uncle (a physician who practices near Los Angeles). She drove from her home in San Diego to her uncle's office where vitals were taken and blood was drawn for testing - as her skin was pale, her vision was sporadically impaired and she could not stand for any periods of time without collapsing. Asthma you say? Well, no, she was in the early stages of heart failure due to the onset of AML leukemia. My daughter, now back in San Diego, was advised by her uncle to get to an ER as soon as possible. She went to Sharp Memorial Hospital, and although initially dismissed regarding the severity of her symptoms, she was admitted due to an accelerated heart rate (taken while she was sitting, when your heart rate should be at its lowest). The ER docs actually called her uncle, though, wanting to know why she was there. Blood was drawn, and sure enough, a diagnosis of leukemia was confirmed. What followed was an over a month-long stay for her initial (induction) chemo treatment. AML leukemia in people under the age of 40 is rare; Sharp treated her to get her out of the emergency situation, true. But after that, their treatment was based, essentially, on how an over-60-year-old would be treated with leukemia, and not specifically the type of leukemia she has (after genetic testing which showed she had a rare mutation). Sharp should have known their limitations, been aware of it and advised her (and other family members who were present) of this. If treatment is out of your scope and medical realm, a referral to a specialist is warranted. This, however, did NOT happen. I tend to think they really didn't know what precisely to do to help her. Instances of bone marrow draws at 3 PM (meaning she could not eat anything until the procedure was completed) did not help. Why would you force a patient to literally go the bulk of the day without eating anything? Especially when you know chemo patients often have a limited appetite. When it became apparent that Sharp could not treat her adequately, her aunt (also a physician) facilitated her transfer to another hospital under a different doctor's care. I so wish Sharp and their physicians had been more up front, more honest with my daughter and with themselves about her particular genetic variant of AML and that it was, indeed, over their heads. Dragging your feet and delaying specific treatment can cause serious issues. Thank goodness we have family members who are licensed physicians who came to her rescue, proverbial red cape and all. She is, obviously, no longer at Sharp. She continues to go through leukemia treatment, but now is under the care of a specialist in the field - a specialist that our family had to locate rather than obtaining a referral from Sharp physicians. Sharp never once offered, nor encouraged, a referral to a specialist for her rare mutation of leukemia. read more

Cable TV and the fare are better than some of the restaurants I've been to, very modern. Every room is a private room. I arrived at the ER at 6 AM Sharp and was in my private room, every room here is a private room, at precisely 10AM. The food is better than many restaurants here in San Diego, with extensive selections and menus. I forgot my cell phone charger and they happily provided one for me. The staff is good, always polite, and courteous no matter who I speak to. They do everything fast, no wasting time waiting and waiting not here. They are expanding this already thoroughly modern hospital. read more

I was recently admitted to Sharp Memorial Hospital and I wanted to share my experience. From the moment I arrived, the level of professionalism and care I received was truly outstanding. A special thank you to Jocelyn R and Jessica R from Unit 5 North. They were extremely professional, welcoming, and attentive throughout my stay. They both went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and well taken care of, which made a difficult time much more pleasant. I would also like to recognize RN Arturo, who demonstrated incredible compassion and professionalism. His dedication to patient care did not go unnoticed and was greatly appreciated.

I visited the Sharp Memorial ER on 06/07/26 around 1:30 a.m. with a severe 10/10 gallbladder attack. I was crying, barely able to walk, and extremely scared. Despite this, no one offered help or a wheelchair. Instead, I was met with sarcasm ("We all have a gallbladder") and a series of questions I could barely answer while in pain. The staff showed no empathy or urgency. I had to move myself into a wheelchair. A nurse attempted an IV for about 15 minutes, repeatedly poking me and even mocking me while I prayed from pain. Another nurse asked unnecessary questions that were already in my chart once the system was back up. When I tried to explain that I was in too much pain to think clearly, she simply left the room. The doctor only came when I said I wanted to leave as I felt not safe to be under their care. He offered no comfort or explanation; just told me I could go. I left untreated and had to manage the attack at home. No patient in severe pain, scared, and unable to think straight should ever be treated this way. This night shift (1:30-3:30 a.m.) showed a complete lack of compassion and professionalism. Very disappointing and traumatic experience. read more

A few weeks ago I wasn't feeling well. Symptoms kept piling up on me. I tried all the obvious methods of self care and was not improving. I called a nurse, and told her all of my smptoms. She told me to come to the emergency room right away. I did. Finding parking in the dark with all the construction going on was tricky I passed the parking garage and had to turn around and go back to it. I had to go through a security check ointment which was fairly easy. The guard was friendly and helpful. He pointed me in the right direction to the desk. I was taken in right away, then diagnosed and admitted. Soon after that I was wheeled to my room, thus began several days of poking, prodding and testing. Everyone was nice friendly. The food service staff worked hard to serve me delisious nutritious meals. Many were rather small, but I was always given the opportunity to have snacks between meals. One favorite was the miso ginger glazed baked salmon. Another favorite was the pot roast. A lot of times they served me something diffrent than what I ordered. Not sure if they rainout or if my doctor ordered something diffrent. No complaints. The custodial staff made sure the room was clean. The doctors nurses, and assistants were all helpful attentive and friendly. They all worked together to keep me safe and comfortable and on the road to recovery.Thank you Sharps Memorial Hospital for all you did for me. read more

My primary care doctor referred me to a specialist, she ordered an MRI of my breasts because I was having issues. They discovered a lump in my breast. The specialist referred me to Sharp Memorial who decided I wasn't worth their time to take me on. They would rather let the lump grow and me die than to assist a patient who is actually part of their medical group btw. So I had to be referred out to a different hospital, suffice it to say. I will never EVER go to Sharp Memorial with any medical problems because mine was too UNIMPORTANT to them. I should've sued them to be honest. read more

I don't even know where to begin. I was admitted to the ER due to a kidney stone which I didn't realize I had a kidney infection because the stone turned out to be blocking me from peeing. They took me back in a room right away and started taking blood and urine samples. The had me go thru the CT scan and turns out that it's a 11 mm stone not passable so they put a tube thru my right kidney to drain the infection. I was admitted to the hospital for over 5 days because I went septic and need round the clock care. The food was terrible it really makes you want to just get up and walk right out but I was really weak. I had my husband stay with me after I had a weird incident with a male Dr that gaslighted me saying he didn't like special people lol I was like WTF doctors houldn't be able to treat patients that way he waited for my husband to leave when he came in I was alone with him and I didn't feel safe I only complained a few months later because I was afraid something was going to happen to me while I was there. I requested my medical records to find out who this male Dr was because he wasn't in charge of treating me and I never saw him again after that encounter. I found out that the doctors at this hospital aren't employed thru them they are all independent contractors I think it's because they want to cover their butts so they don't get sued for bad practices. And what was really a joke they only offered me Tylenol I had a 11 mm kidney stone JFC what a joke they treated me like a drug addict because I wanted something stronger. I hope I never have to go to this hospital again! The nurses for the most part were cool but the doctors I dealt with were robotic and unempathic. read more

There are many hospitals here in San Diego which have been the many centers many of them here in San Diego which have been the front-line centers of the of the fight against the Covid 19 when it had come upon the city and the many areas of the North County. The many people and the nurses that work so hard and the doctors that when you see through their there is much more and the many lives they save and the ones that pass away from the end. Sharps Memorial has so much in one Hospital to the many people that workday by day and the many that help in the evenings with the many patients that have surgery and other medical procedures. When I had to go to the Sharps Clairmont Hospital it was that of when I had broken my knee cap the paramedics that took me to the hospital, they had contacted the hospital to get things started upon the arrival. The hospital up0onm my arrival my epilepsy was hard and the doctors upon my arrival they were able to get me stabilized with my leg they told me the patella was broken in three sections. The emergency room crowded the doctors had me to a room in the ICU to get my leg looked at found that the break was in one solid form, yet the patella was in three sections no surgery needed. The doctors told me that I was being admitted to the hospital to get further exam and the leg to be examined by an orthopedic surgeon the doctors told me that my health had to be stabilized. The many people I saw the many doctors had checked me they were concerned for my health and wanted to have me stay over with my epilepsy and the break fracture of my right leg kneecap. That told they were concerned to have me traveling and the nurses were the most caring when it came to getting help. With the many hospitals that I have been to is the Sharps Clairmont Hospital showed me they are concerned and to have a person with epilepsy on the bus they helped me get home after the time my body was stabilized. With the many nurses that helped me through the medical calls with the times I had to have blood drawn checking blood pressure the nurses are the greatest and the great people that do so much caring for the many patients giving the caring ear to listen to your needs and to help with the kids that are scared the nurses can say are the best. For the long three days the hospital helped me with physical therapy helped me with the many areas of the therapy and the feel of trying to walk on the weight and getting used to my right leg. Therapy for the right leg it was one that was taking on the stretch and the feel of my foot on the floor the person who worked with me one of the best people. In closing the many things that I had seen, and the wonderful quality of care was above and beyond to have so many great people to work with so many and to be helped by the best nurses and the doctors. read more

Huge shout out to 4N! 4th floor staff was amazing with my mom during her few days that she stayed there while they drained her abscess. Tia, Kaley, and Cameron - you ladies are amazing. Your empathy, patience, kindness, and humor helped make her experience that much better. My mom had been on a different floor at this same hospital for gallbladder surgery 1 week prior, and the experience was terrible. I was comfortable going home knowing my mom would be cared for with compassion. Front desk staff is equally kind and amazing! Thank you all for your help :) read more

Not a great experience. My husband went into this ER March 29 with shoulder pain. This was at 7am at the end of the docs shift. They did an x-ray and stated everything was fine, probably soft tissue problem. My husband at this point was in extremely painful. He never asks for pain killers but the pain was level 10 so he asked for pain management. The ER doctor refused. He went home and after multiple sleepless nights another doctor looked at the x-ray and stated the humorous was fracture right below the armpit. This doctor reccomended we talk to the original doctor from the ER. Mind you my husband has not been able to get any doctor to treat his arm. So we called the ER doctor and left a message. Never recieved a call back. We called today and spoke to charge nurse Sergio. Sergio was condescending the whole time, then stated it was the radiologist falt not the doctor the saw my husband. All we want is MRI of his arm and for him to be treated. You tell me if it's okay for this ER to release people with fractures without treatment or pain management. We asked to speak to management multiple times and they refuse. We might have to get an attorney if his arm gets worse or heals wrong. read more

Would not go here one of the worst hospitals ever lack of medical attention they had a nurse training in icu who wasn't even attentive to things they kept being told numerous times to her what was taking them so long nurse said she was training the nurse, they literally had my brother in and out after being ejected off his bike would not recommend anyone to come here go to a more reputable hospital this one definitely is disappointing to be at. read more

To: whom this may concern, I read some great reviews and testimonies in yelp from others experience at sharp and I had hope I can say the same for me as a love one & friend I've experienced as a visitor looking in. Since my boyfriend been admitting to sharps hospital it has been nothing but stress and frustration for me one day I'm allowed to see him and talk to him the next day I'm not all they could tell me is he's not taking visitor right now and talk to his sons on everything. My friend condition is serious and he needs to understand this. But at the same time the staff was not giving him any updates or information on what was going on with his health. He's been wanting to go home and the staff is keeping him from going home. They telling his family he wasn't able to home yet bcuz he hasn't fully recovered he went in there becuz of edema were his foot, legs & knees were swollen to much fluid build up around his heart and sharp staff showed some concerns moving on days pass he has gotten better all swelling came down and he's been waning to go home and still there. They tell us they have had a few misbehavior from him like wanting to leave the hospital and as he try's to leave he had a nurse that kept tugging at him and she supposedly got hit in the face, when I got there Stacey face look good there wasn't any marks on her face & saw no visual damage to her face they got other staff involved and strap him down from chest to wrist. When arrived Nothing was told to me until I started questioning his scrapes and bruises on his hands, arms and why he was strapped down, then I was briefly told that he tried to leave and hit a nurse so he strap down bcuz he was a danger to their staff they had call physic doctor to check him out after they gave him some medication for his anxiety & told me he wasn't fit to make his own medical decision! How can this be a solid evaluation mentally ? when they have him dope up on anxiety medication this man has never taken any kind of drugs his whole life how do you think that kind medication could affect him? Talking gerburish, in and out of sleep and awake droggy that mental evaluation that the doctor did was this accurate evaluation ? Now they are saying to his family is we want him to realize he's ill and he needs help and as soon as he able to comply with the staff & tell us what we want you to say & we might release you. this has become more than just about his sickness it's become about who's in empower over you! This is how I see their staff in charge trying to break his will and spirit! he's 75 yrs old he is who he is, can you train old dogs new tricks yes only if he was strip down to nothing anyway, to prove what I'm saying they sent him to a behavioral center, no visit and no calls bcuz they tell me he's not registered at the hospital and they can't help me where in the hick did he go? I fear he's not going to walk out of there alive. Again, this is me, looking in from the outside. read more
