Did things by the book and still was cheated only getting prescriptions before leaving. SW probably b''' hurt over losing the appeal, so this was one last chance to feel good about himself.
Who is the person being held (in the hospital? or other type of facility)?
Is the person capable of making a decision about being discharged or their future care?
Are they cognitively impaired?
How old is this person?
Are you their PoA? Family member? Caregiver?
Why was this person in the hospital to begin with?
Here is a description of one of them:

Get in contact with your state ombudsman for some advice and guidance.
Good luck.
Of late we are getting a lot of these and they are truly impossible for me to untangle and understand. I feel as though we--most of us--on this Forum take our time and effort to provide real answers to any real questions. It seems disrespectful at best to write us something that requires out combing out sentences.
I am curious. I am seeing this stream of consciousness writing more and more. Is it a new A.I. program or real people who have just decided that periods, paragraphs and capitalization just takes too much time.
If you can only answer without punctuation, it's OK. Don't bother.
I do wish you good luck with whatever problem you are facing down. Slow down. Take your time. Think it out. I bet it will all come together.
