That's a messy situation. I REALLY feel your frustration and pain on this. The system is fucked up, but it's fucked up because it's run by people and people tend to fuck up, badly. It's a learning experience, a really nasty one, but a very necessary one as well.
Be glad that you're out and getting your actual issues addressed, be glad that you still have more freedom than most people in the world, and be glad that you had the opportunity to learn this lesson.

I'd lawyer up. If they didn't test you for any symptoms involving your gall bladder, and went off on your behavior, you may have a tort claim against them. Yeah your behavior did show addict tendencies, but simple blood work could've shown markers, hell even a urinalysis for something other than drugs could've shown stuff. Losing your temper though definitely makes you a threat to their safety and calling the cops is the first thing I would've done. I've dealt with enough homeless to know what I'd be willing to deal with, and though there may be something wrong with them, I have over looked things once or twice.

My family thinks they judged me because of my hair. And at the psych hospital... They generalize way too much. Because I smoked marijuana = automatically psychotic, addict, and trouble maker it's ridiculous. Every time I talked to him he said it all revolved around my "Drug Abuse" how smoking cannabis was the root of the problem and I need to go to a rehab. Every time he said that I would just walk out of his office.
Do psych dr only go off the report that the hospital gives them? Because that's all he ever mentioned. I never had an evaluation. And by his standards -
"a dr can walk into a room without even testing a pataitent, and could tell what was wrong with them just by looking".

You just can't expect reason to be used when illegal drugs are brought into the equation. Won't work.
I had to take my friend to a hospital when he took way too much oxy during a huge freak out on LSD. He told the doctors he took four hits. The doctor told him that he didn't take four hits because he would be dead if he had. He told him he had taken one hit and hallucinated taking three more. When my friend told me this my jaw dropped. Now no amount of stupidity will surprise me when speaking of emergency room doctors.

I believe you can report him (I forget the name some board of people) for various reasons. Ask your doctor for assistance, because I'm sure he'll agree, people who are in need shouldn't be turned down.

Thanks I'm looking into that, but other people on this thread did make a good point about what i should have done differently.
But then again I find it hard to lie to doctors because, what if I do and then I get a misdiagnosis, or they think I have munchausens. I don't like to leave my health to deception. But then again marijuana wouldn't have been relevant in that situation.
