Kalamazoo, MI asked in Health Care Law for Michigan

Q: Can I be trespassed from Bronson Methodist hospital legally. I found a bottle of profolol and mom was conscious but...

After finding a bottle of profolol and taking a pic I asked my mom's nurse if she was being given this med, she first said no, then after I asked why is this bottle in her room, the nurse said well yes she had been given the medicine. My mom was conscious but unable to talk, which is why this concerned me so much. I also know my mom's line was kinked for one of her I v fluids and after having a traumatic experience at ascension Borgess recently I'm taking no chances. The nurse snatched the profolol bottle, and she thought she was coming in to cover up the linked line and I believe profolol was also in her sodium hydrochloride, next thing I know some muscle head security thought he was going to intimidate me into leaving and they said they had called the cops, I don't think they did, so I did, the cops show up and of course they listen to security over me. Trespass me and now mom still there I been asking for her to be moved, they are ignoring me now.

A: You absolutely may be trespassed from the hospital. If you have care concerns, those perhaps should be addressed as Mr. Selik suggests, or you may need to get other doctors involved to facilitate movement to a different facility.

You will always lose the battle between you and hospital security. A hospital can ask anyone to leave the premises.
