WARNER, N.H.- A former San Francisco police officer is suing Elliot Hospital, Concord Hospital and the Town of Warner over claims she was mistreated, physically harmed and civilly trafficked while seeking help for post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from her time as a police officer.
According to court documents Susan Roth is seeking damages for an ordeal that began when she sought medical attention at the Family Tree Clinic in an affiliate of Concord Hospital, in relation to her Complex post-traumatic stress disorder, only to leave after feeling she received little to no medical help.
Once home Roth was met by local police who informed her, she was being taken into custody following claims she allegedly threatened staff at the clinic and was in possession of firearm.
From there Roth was placed into protective custody and taken to Concord and was held there for 72-hours, until she was transferred to Eliot Hospital where she also suffered a hip injury.
Out of this incident Roth is accusing the three defendants with false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, civil trafficking, battery, negligence and for violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Roth is not only seeking a jury trial with a hope of gaining compensatory damages but is also seeking a ruling requiring the defendants establish policies and provide training on interactions with induvials diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
