I am a clinical social worker (Masters degree in Social Work) who has worked in the hospital system for nearly two decades I can tell you that these stories are clear Medicare violations concerning unsafe discharge planning. As for the quote-unquote social worker at this facility I will be calling in the morning to speak to their social worker and if in fact this individual is an actual social worker I will be reporting to the licensing board and the NASW. There is no excuse for this behavior this is a culture problem within this facility and you can trace it probably from the top down I can tell you that unless they're lying totally in their documentation that a Medicare audit would likely cost them in the hundreds of thousands in fines, which I'd say they clearly deserve. To the Administration at this facility, I'd suggest ya'll start shifting that horrible unethical care model to a correct model or you'll be banned from accepting any federal funding and shit down soon after.

As an EMT I was doing a non emergency transport where a patient was being discharged out of a hospital and the destination to drop them off wasn't an address. All it said was red van and the name of the street it was on. This man was in his 80's and could barely stand let alone walk. We asked if he could be sent to a facility and due to lack of insurance there was nowhere for him to go and that we had to bring him there. We drove to this red van and it wasn't even a running vehicle. It was junk in someones yard. We contacted a shelter ourselves and filed a report with the state. Not sure what was done about it but I'll never forget how gut wrenching and heart breaking that situation was. Humanity deserves so much more.

I'm a normally healthy senior citizen (70) who went to the ER. I was taken back and put in a tiny room packed with several other sick people for hours on horrible hard chairs lined up against each other around all 4 walls. I never saw a dr. A nurse walked through, talked to me but I wasn't treated. Then after hours of waiting I was told I had to leave. They walked me to the door and put me out on the hospital sidewalk in 100° heat and locked the door. I wasn't even allowed to use the bathroom 1st, not allowed to get anything to take with me to drink. I was very ill, dehydrated from severe diarrhea due to an intestinal infection. I told them I had no ride and asked to wait inside until my daughter could get there because of the heat. I was told no. It took my daughter 1/2 hr to come to get me so I sat in the hospital parking lot under a tree and waited in the horrible heat. I went for help elsewhere and was treated immediately. I have insurance. I own a home so thankfully not homeless and was able to get a ride. It's horrible how they treat the elderly that are homeless and all alone. Many are only homeless due to inflation or they have lost their loved ones and are unable to find affordable housing. Many other people are but one SS check away from being there. It breaks my heart to see how the homeless and elderly are being treated. I remember when medical personnel were doing the job because they cared about people. Sadly not many of them do anymore. It's frightening to be a senior knowing it's hard to get the care you need and it's only getting worse. I can't even imagine being sick, homeless and feeling hopeless because no one cares. They'd kept asking me me if I wanted to sign a DNR which was scary. They seem to push that now.

They also don't care if your a woman and some guy just beat the hell out of you as long as he wasn't strangling you or you didn't die. What's worse is some of these nurses were women you think they would have stepped up but if there's men controling the hospital sometimes they can't they have to consider the suspects reputation before your safety I really do hope they start holding some of these hospitals accountable because they hire the wrong people that have probably never been attacked before so of course there not going to care if someone gives you a concussion because it happened to you and not them.

We do not have socialized healthcare in this country for a reason... because it's FAR FAR WORSE that what we have here. In the end though, as terrible as it is, we cannot FORCE hospitals to keep patients for any longer than they are needed to remain there. We already FORCE them to take patients who cannot pay while they are in a serious condition... but we cannot also Force them to keep them indefinitely. It would immediately crash the entire health system and then we'd end up like all the other socialist crap holes that have entirely destroyed their own countries and healthcare systems.

Let the hallways and waiting rooms clog up indefinitely and see what happens to patient workflows, staff organization, and basic hygiene - to say nothing of employee morale.
