“He was there for five nights and on Saturday morning he was texting me and he was still in the hallway.”
A Prince George mom has filed a complaint with Northern Health after her adult son suffering from a mental health crisis was kept in the emergency ward at University Hospital of Northern B.C. for more than five days with no treatment.
When Cathy heard what was happening from her son, she called the hospital on Saturday morning to address her concerns. “The whole experience was not conducive to his mental health at all,” Cathy said. “You know laying in your own filth for five days is not conducive to mental health. If they’re going to hold you against your will in order to take care of you they should be taking care of you and they’re just not.”When Z was admitted to the hospital he was handed a piece of paper to read about his rights under the Mental Health Care Act and of course, in mental health distress, Z didn’t read it.
