Terrible hospital

Post Reply New Topic

I've already wrote here in WP my situation more than once.

But it just doesn't seem come to an end...!

Two years ago I was brought into the locked ward against my will and had to stay there for two weeks.
I toled them there that I suffer claustrophobia, but they didn't believe me there. I freaked there out complitely because of my claustrophobia, but because of my reaction I just had to stay there longer...!

I stayed in that hospital for two years after that ambulant in therapy, but in another building.

I am also Transsexual and I needed to go in therapy for at least 18 months to get my operation afterwards. That's just standart.
So I continued to stay there for nearly two years ambulant in that hospital and because the locked ward was traumatic for me, I freaked there out nearly every time I had to go there living in constant fear I could brought back in the locked ward again.

Now, nearly two years later they cicked me out. It was propably the best what happened to me in those two years, but now they don't even want to confirm me that I stayed there nearly two years ambulant, but I need this to prove that I did this therapy because of my transsexualism, otherwise I would have to do those 18 months again and I just can't imagine to do that. This time there was just the horror for me and I don't even want to see any shrink again if I don't have to, because I still have some traumasymptoms left because of the locked ward.
My traumasymptoms got better very fast since I left there and it was good in the end that I did, but I need this, that they confirm me, that I've been there.

My insurance is of course very mad. I haven't toled them everything, just that they are not giving my report that I've been there and so on. The insurance toled me that I should talk to them again (done) and otherwise they will do something about it and write them. I even wrote the consultant of my shrink that I need a report how long I stayed, otherwise I'll talk to my insurence next week again, who is allready informed.

This already goes like this since weeks and I just want to finish with this terrible part of my life and with this hospital where I got traumaticed. I know I freaked out there, I know they didn't understand it, I know that my behaviour must have looked terrible from the outside there at that time, so I kind of understand the situation how it all developed but I don't understand at all why they even don't want to confirm now that I've been there?

I just want, that everything is over what has to do with that place.

Do you have any bills for services or appointment confirmations, etc.? If so, you might be able to prove your stay without a statement from them. Why won't they give you one, anyway? Surely they must keep a record of everyone who comes in, right?

It's not your problem if the insurance doesn't get their report.
And if they still want to send you there, just resist and don't go there.

Is it that you would need these papers to be able to continue your treatment at another place?

Normally it is not the task of the patient to get these confirmations.
I mean, if no report no pay.
And the insurance knows that you have been there because they got the bills...

For sure this is not your task to be inside this

Yws I can prove that I've been there, there is no doupt in that (at least I hope so). I have one report from that hospital, but not that one I need, so it's clear that I've been there.
I don't get it at all, noone does.
But I need a report with the exact dates and that I've been there because of my transsexualism, everything else is worthless. Because I have to prove that I've been there for at least 18 months because of my transsexualism.
But they even don't want to confirm me at the moment I've been there.

My theory is that they know that they did treatment mistakes and hope that I'll just give up and maybe they are afraid that I sue them, I don't know what they are thinking.
But I really just want the report telling me that I did at least 18 months of therapy because of TS. Nothing more.

Of course it is, otherwise I don't get the operation I need because of my transsexualism or I have to go some place else for another 18 months and I can't imagine that.
I have to prove that I've been at least for 18 months in therapy because of my TS.

If you have proof that spans a time period of 18 months, shouldn't that be sufficient?

Well, it's a bit more complicated than that.
First of all I don't have proof for a time of 18 months, just that I've been there and second of all I need the proof AND that I stayed there because of TS. Of course I did and there is also no doupt in that, because I started with the hormone replacement therapy there because of TS and so on.

I was toled in my last setting there that it's best for me if I would stay away of that hospital in the future.
Whatever they mean by that...!

Bummer. I don't know how to make them give you records unless it's part of a subpoena...

I wrote the consultant of the ambulant section of that hospital a letter today, telling her that I need a record, telling that I stayed there for at least 18 months because of TS otherwise I'll have to talk with my insurance again. Giving them a deadline until October 19th and that I can come to pick it up in person, otherwise they can send it to me.

So if they don't give it to me until then I have to talk to my insurance again, but then it get's a bit more complicated. Because I have to give my insurance a written permission that they are alowed to talk to my old shrink and they will write my old shrink that they will demand that record and maybe they will even look into everything what happened there, but that depents.
And they toled me that I'll get my writing no matter what, but that could take up to months, but I don't hope so.

I am so so mad!

But your insurance will see it from the bills. They'd pay the bills (and still thinking you weren't there)
but won't let you continue?

So what is this stupid thing about?

I've absolutly no clue and believe it's just some f*cking regulation stuff, making me my life just difficult.

I believe it's because my old shrink could write something important in there or something.
They don't know everything about the therapy...!

But actually it's enough if she writes me that I stayed there for so and so long and my diagnosis.

It probably means that the hospital already got its money and now they are just what?
I don't get it.

People will always be happy if you'd work out such a thing out for them. They'd use you as a bouncing ball.
Aspies are always too easy to abuse for such a task.

You could also just invent something like: The guy from the hospital had said to you that the insurance should call him and give some telephone nr.
They would be angry both of them but still agree if they are just reasonable enough.

These bastards! Taking advantage on the back of their patients. Is there some official organisations where you could complain?
Is the hospital a company or state owned one?

I guess it's state owned, it's an university hospital and even a big one.
But they are just terrible there, don't want to hear a second opinion and so on...!

It was a BIG mistake I went there, but 2 years ago I was in a terrible shape.
I came to this psychiatry against my will in the locked ward for 2 weeks with claustrophobia and afterwards I was traumaticed and freaked out nearly everytime I had to go there again and they just didn't realice what was actually going on for nearly two years!
I stayed there ambulant.
I was anxious the entire time, even when I wasn't there for my appiontments, since the locked ward.
But after I left my symptoms mostly dissapeared very fast.

I guess they were scared, because they did a huge mistake and even traumaticed me by "accident".


So, now I'm mostly okay again.

I talked to my insurence today and they got the letter from my old shrink there today, but they woulnd't send it to me, but to my general pediatricion and I hope, he'll give it to me and I hope I'll have the repord next week.
So I still don't know what my old shrink wrote, but how I understood it, it was obvious that it didn't worked out between me and her...!

I got my report from the hospital today, I stayed in for nearly two years.

My diagnoses I have now is: Not one!
My old clinic wrote a report, 1 1/2 pages long, that I was in the closed section nearly two years ago because of depression, that I stayed there afterwards in the clinic ambulant and that I talked about the time in the closed section, that it didn't worked out. That they release me now and some suspicions, what I could have. Diagnostic criteria that I fullfill are not mentioned. They also didn't mentioned why they released me suddenly.
That's what they send the insurence and they needed nearly two months to write that.
It was hard to get this report actually.

Congratulations, Raziel. Glad you got what you needed.

Thanx!

Now, I have to go to another shrink who want's to see me for half a year, because of Transsexualism, to give me the "okay" for the operation...!
Because the old hospital didn't give me the "okay", just wrote in it, that the 18 months I had to come are over.
But at least he's a specialist in transsexualism.

But I'm totally anoyed about shrinks.
