My mother was actually held hostage and cut off from family after being abused by a hospital. (Incidentally, we had asked to transfer to another hospital and were refused. Medicare has since said they would have paid for transport in case of complaint about treatment). My mother and I have since been re-united, but the County of Forsyth is trying to make her a "ward of the county" to protect their "good ole boy" Baptist Hospital in NC. Read her startling story, sign petition, and share link to make sure that something outrageous doesn't happen like this again. Thank You! http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/health-human-rights-Johanna-White-Wake-Forest-Baptist-Medical-Center/
