Review of Nationwide Better Health Colum...

I am 19 years old (yes I am not a child lol) and I was apart the hematology unit which I had to be apart of until I am 21. So I was admitted and was there for 7 days and during that time I was having pseudo seizures where I would become unresponsive but I was able to hear everyone. The second day of my stay I was transferred to the PICU for no apparent reason for the seizure and was told I had a code violet (patient is violent) called on me. Fast foreward to my last night and I had a seizure that lasted for almost 2 hours. I wake up and have 6-8 nurses holding me down and they are talking about ordering restraints for my wrist and ankles. They ordered the restraints without calling my mother who has power of attorney over me when I become unresponsive. The nurses decided to now call my mom and tried to call a code violet on me while I m having a seizure. The lady who calls the codes wants to call a code blue because I am having a seizure not conciously trying to fight them and when someone is having a seizure you do not hold them down you have to let them shake until they come down from it which is what the nurses did not do they decided to hold my limbs down and could ve possibly hurt me. When it was all said and done they called the police on me and I had 10 police officers push,grab, and shove me (mind you, I am a patient) out the hospital and put me on the concrete and told me that I am banned from children s hospital. Idk about you but I wouldn t want my child to be treated like that
