Patient presented to the ED with her father after ingesting a screw while at school. EGD completed to remove the screw and she returned to the ED. Mental health team met with patient and father making the recommendation for acute inpatient MH placement. Patient denied ingestion to kill self and denied SI. She has a history of swallowing 2 AA batteries in Dec as well as another episode of swallowing a button batter a couple days prior. After those interactions she spent 11 on our medical floor waiting for a discharge plan.

Youth came to our ED via police on 10/28. Was previously in our IP unit, discharged to Nexus Gerard where he eloped several times. Pt is on a MI/CD commitment. Has substance use struggles ongoing but it’s reported that previous placement thought the MH was the primary concern. Has been denied by many SUD programs- Wings, Anthony Louis, Fairview, Oshki Manidoo and Ember in Iowa. Ideally CM wants pt in a secure setting due to history elopement, but has been denied by only secure setting in MN. Pt is newly 17. Any facility licensed by the DOC can’t be pursued due to commitment, and going out of state the commitment would not follow, so in state would be best.

MCR-F14-5997
Comes from Von Wald 180 degrees after being there almost 5 days, due to her statements about “what would happen if someone died here,” and some fixation on the gas stove causing concern that she would tamper and cause harm to many. She is removed from family home and there are complex family dynamics. She is adopted and is the youngest of 6. Adoptive mom is in TCU level of care and cannot care for her, needing supervised visits, and dad is not able to have contact. CPS and MH workers involved. This week she was certified disabled and hopefully a CADI SW will be assigned soon!
