First off, let me say, I love all of my doctors at Hershey- they are wonderful. I'm sure it is the hospital policies that make everyone miserable- doctors, nurses, patients, staff, and families.

My mother was hospitalized last week. Nurses (especially Jill on the 6th floor) treated her horribly and when I spoke up about it, they had security called because they said I "threatened" them. This is the threat: my mom told me she would repay me after she got out of the hospital for all the candy I was bringing her (I wasn't going to accept any repayment for the candy) but I jokingly told my mom, "Don't worry- I know where you live!" Jill, the charge nurse, overheard me say that and thought it was directed at her and that I was going to come to her house to hurt her. A nurse whom I had just met, and didn't even know the last name of, thinks I know where she lives. Talk about ridiculous and paranoid. Jill quickly called security on me.

I was escorted out by two security guards on Saturday, June 23, 2018 and was told not to come back to Hershey Medical Center and if I did I would be arrested by Derry Township Police for criminal trespass. It is Tuesday, and I still am not allowed back by hospital secuirty. I have several severe medical issues myself and I'm afraid to go to their ER if I have a problem for fear of being arrested. (But with the care in the ER, you should just stay home anyhow).

So Hershey Medical Center likes to keep families separated when they need each other the most. I'm in tears right now because I haven't been allowed to see my elderly, sick mom in days. And they call this a place of healing. It is more like a jail.
