That happened many years ago to my father in law. Got up in the middle of the night and wandered out of the hospital, knocked on someone’s door and asked to be taken home. He was returned safely but the hospital was going to keep it a secret. Unfortunately for them, word got around and his daughter in law, who was an employee there got wind of it. People are sometimes sedated and behave, either because of that or related to their illness, may be confused and act inappropriately. I am glad that the snarky stupid remarks here show the lack of understanding I often see. Nasty. By the way, doors cannot be locked from the inside, it creates a fire hazard and the hospital probably does bed checks but would not have guards watching every patient. I hope, when these nasty remarking people are hospitalized, that they get what they give.
