The ways to help the patients was vague. I would say 40% of my patients admit to SI, only 1-2% admit to a plan. I have tried on 3 occasions to hospitalize these patients but the hospital sent them home. Because the patient didn’t wanna be in the hospital, and therefore did not tell the hospital staff their SI thoughts. there for the only way, I’ve gotten a patient to become inpatient is if I spend an hour or two talking them into going into the hospital and then have a family member take them to the hospital.
