When a patient in crisis leaves a hospital or detox facility prematurely, the system often just labels it "Against Medical Advice" (AMA) and moves on. They ask the patient: "Why did you leave?"
Here are 45 one liners and short stories of what people have experienced.
I believe the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania should be asking the facility: "What did you fail to provide that made this person feel they had no choice but to leave?"
I am documenting stories of medical neglect, intake denials, and dehumanizing treatment to present to our State Representatives and Legislative Oversight teams in Harrisburg. We are fighting to ensure that no one is treated like a burden when they are asking for help.
