Review of McLaren Flint

I went into the Emergency Room as a psych patient ...

I went into the Emergency Room as a psych patient feeling very depressed, after seeing the psychiatrist was left for seven hours without any update. Fed up I finally just got up and left, one of their sitters, a very nice lady, convinced me to return.

Back in the ER, I was demanded to put my gown back on, I was able to extort an update in exchange of changing back into my gown.
While I was waiting in the ER, another patient became very violent, attacked the nurses and had to be restrained. Somehow, they managed to put that in my file.

Up in the psych ward, I was given food I could not eat, even though the nurse and I had a long discussion of what I cannot eat and making sure that was in the file.

With the exception of my night nurse during my stay, the nurses in 7C were fantastic. I can't give enough praise for those nurses. The techs were equally fantastic. The one was more "leave me alone" and if I ignore you and walk away while you are talking to me you will shut up.
The psychiatrist I was assigned, forgot to prescribe medications for 36 more hours and came up with I was violent and liked to start fights, this puzzled me and baffled my wife. It would be a couple of days before I figured out the error in the ER and my file.

I was right in seeking medical help, I was wrong with seeking it at McLaren Regional Medical Center. This experience will have me changing from any doctor with affiliations with McLaren.

EDIT: I reached out as requested and no response whatsoever. Further evidence that I need to cut ties to McLaren.
