1992. Four stories of being tricked or trapped into a mental hospital

June 30th, 1992. On his namesake talk show program, Geraldo Rivera brings us “Mental Hospital Horrors”. We hear the possibility of hospitals having vested interests in committing patients, due to insurance payouts.

“Is it your opinion, that they were withholding Corey’s freedom so they could bilk the insurance company and you?”

Another woman allegedly had her husband collude with a psychiatrist to get her committed.

Mental hospital frauds and scams are all too common.

This day, Geraldo’s show history.
