My son was admitted to St. Francis Medical Center in January 2022. This is a faith-based facility whose motto is "Where passion for people and healthcare come together." I was informed that he was admitted and diagnosed with acute systolic heart failure and acute liver failure. I was also told that this was a serious condition and that his condition was touch and go, and he was not expected to recover. He was receiving oxygen therapy because his breathing was compromised. While undergoing oxygen treatments, I asked if his condition worsened if he should be placed on life support because I was told his condition was so critical! I was devastated! He was not only physically compromised but showed a declining mental status. He stayed in bed, did not take care of his personal hygiene, showed agitation, and refused to accept his prescribed medication. He fell to the floor in the care of the hospital and was not always coherent. After several days, his physical condition improved. However, his mental status showed no improvement. The hospital staff began looking for an in-house facility as a result of my asking for a behavioral assessment. The assessment was done the next day. I was told he was given Risperidone to calm him down. I researched the drug, which is used as a drug for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and manic states; however, I was not told a diagnosis. After two days of medication, he was calm. I was told he was to be discharged in a couple of days. I asked where to and was told back from where he came. I explained that he came from the Salvation Army, and there was no medical facility there to care for him as a patient. I was told that he could not stay there at the hospital forever. His behavior remained unstable. No diagnosis was told to me concerning his mental condition. He was moved to another room and left his belongings behind, including a cell phone, charger, personal hygiene items, and clothing. His mental condition was unchanged, but his physical condition continued to show improvement. Into his third week of admission at 9:00 PM, he was discharged to the Salvation Army. The same day, family members were told he would remain hospitalized for several more days. His mental status showed no improvement, and hospital staff showed no empathy. The patient advocate said, "he is not here forever." He was put on the street with no medication, and the weather was 30 degrees. He had a paper prescription that night, no actual medication, and no way of filling prescriptions that night. The prescriptions were to be filled at Primary Health, but I was told by another medical person that they do not fill outside facility prescriptions. There has been no follow-up from St. Francis Medical Center.For a man with mental health issues who is unable to adequately follow a prescription protocol, this creates a problem for his self-care and well-being. He remains isolated, stays in bed all day, lacks hygiene self-care, and is agitated. Where is the accountability? There are three sides to every story. This was one side of this story. The Monroe Dispatch welcomes the other or another side to this story. Anonymous story shared by a concerned local parent.
