ok so i went to the ER today for some unrelated issues. long story short my vitals were normal so they said that my problems aren’t urgent and i should go to primary care instead. i said ok and went on with my day… did some banking and took some clothes to the donation center. 

on my way home i get a text from my therapist - saying she’s been notified i was admitted to the hospital?!?! 

this doesn’t sit right with me because i did not give consent or was even told my therapist would be notified. i’ve went to urgent care in the past and they didn’t notify my therapist. i even asked the lady when i was checking in if they were going to notify my parents (i’m over 18) she said and i quote “no, we do not give out any information unless you tell us it’s okay” well i definitely didn’t say it was ok! 

this is not the first malpractice issue i’ve encountered while going to this hospital location. (located in a small, conservative town and i find many of their viewpoints are either outdated or sexist compared to their other locations in the city) 

if i’m in the right… i’d like to say something 

if i’m in the wrong, can someone let me know how this is acceptable? does signing a consent to treat mean they get to do this kind of thing???

TIA
