Harrison Medical Center: "My mother, a dementia sufferer, was unlawfully discharged from the ED. In the dark, in her nightgown, in a cab with a stranger. She was traumatized...we don't know WHAT happened in that cab. My dad and I had permission to go get food, but they sent her off in a cab, without saying a word. They knew about her dementia, but when she said she wanted to go home; they stuck her in a cab!!" - nickie
