i was marked as AMA from college hospital partial hospitalization program. I was never told this was going to happen and even on my last day they let me express my gratitude and excited to get back to school. On my discharge paper work there was no mention of leaving against medical advice
Got it. To help you draft a grievance letter, I need a bit more information:
- Who specifically are you addressing the grievance to? (e.g., hospital administration, patient relations)
- What outcome are you seeking? (e.g., correction of records, formal apology)
Once I have these details, I can help you draft the letter.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to formally file a grievance regarding my recent experience with the College Hospital Partial Hospitalization Program. On [last day of program], I was discharged from the program and was later informed that I was marked as having left Against Medical Advice (AMA).
At no point during my discharge was I informed that I was being marked as AMA. In fact, I was given the opportunity to express my gratitude and excitement to return to my studies. My discharge paperwork also did not indicate that I had left AMA.
This has caused me significant distress and I believe it is a misrepresentation of my departure from the program. I am seeking the following outcomes:
- Correction of my medical records to accurately reflect the nature of my discharge.
- A formal apology from the College Hospital Partial Hospitalization Program for the miscommunication.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

i don’t need an apology and can you add something about they specifically told me that it was okay and legal to not tell a patient that they were leaving against medical advice.
