Although my doctors are at Jefferson hoapital and treat me well I have S.C. disease and my doctor wants me to come to the ER when I have a crisis and I do. I know that my treatment will last four to six hours ( with iv pain meds) after beeing taken to the treatment area. Here is the complaint when I am discharged I either have to wait for someone to come and get me or take public transportation home. And in the early hours that may take some time. I have been treatened with arrest if I don' t leave as soon as I'm discharged. Statements from security " this isn' t a shelter", " If you don' t leave I'll have you arrested" etc. Once a guard said I was lying about someone comming to get me and said, call the person so he could verify I was telling the truth, how far away & how long it will take for them to get to Jefferson hospital. This has happened half a dozen times. I have reported it and documented it.
