Capital Regional Medical Center Stories

Capital Regional Medical Center: "My daughter had the worst experience in the Behavioral Health Unit. She was admitted because an inappropriate "call" by a police officer who had her Baker Acted. She waited over 6 hours to be admitted. Once admitted, the psychiatrist would not believe her or me that she did not need to be there. His own ego prevented her from being demitted. His vain decision has resulted in my daughter now trying to dig herself out a a downward depression spiral." - MF
