My brother was life flighted here from Lincoln, MT after having series of serious symptoms. The EMTs on site thought he could possibly be having a heart attack. Once at the hospital they found out that it was less serious and attended to his medical needs. Around 7:30 a.m the next morning (only four and a half hours after being admitted) the doctor had came in to tell my brother that my parents were there to pick him up (which they were not). Once they were able to get my brother to leave his room they sent him down to the receptionist. She did not give my brother the numbers that we had given the staff the night before. My brother had no cell phone and my parent's phones were not working, we were in Lincoln for a family reunion and none of our family had cell service. Realizing that the doctor had lied to him about our parent's being there and the fact that he had no way to get ahold of anyone he asked to go back and speak to the doctor. The receptionist told him that because he left his room that he now was checked out and needed to leave the hospital. She directed him to the city bus and shrugged him off like he wasn't their problem anymore. My brother was released from the hospital after being lied to. He had no cell phone, wallet, vehicle or SHOES! He took the receptionist's direction and attempted to get on the city bus but was not able to due to the fact that he had no shoes! He walked around Missoula for 3 hours in his socks in the middle of summer! He asked several people for help and all of them shrugged him off, he probably appeared homeless. When my parent's showed up to the hospital they were informed that he had been released but the hospital could not give them any information about where my brother was or what his medical diagnosis was because he is 19. This hospital and the staff are extremely careless and should not release their patients to fend for themselves like homeless people. They need to treat their patients with respect and hospitality, at the very least they don't need to lie to them.
