Family says woman, 18, was kept 'prisoner' until they helped her 'escape from the Mayo Clinic after the hospital refused to let her go' two months after brain surgery, and even tried to take guardianship of her
Alyssa Gilderhus was admitted to The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in December 2016
She suffered a brain aneurysm on Christmas Day and required emergency surgery
Afterwards, her parents say she was held 'prisoner' in the hospital's rehab unit
They butted heads with doctors over her care and were eventually excluded from discussions about it
Alyssa asked to be transferred but claims she was ignored repeatedly
The hospital tried to have the county take guardianship of Alyssa even though she was 18
On February 28, her stepfather pretended to take her to the parking lot to meet her grandmother and drove her away
They drove for 12 hours to a hospital in South Dakota where doctors gave them a second opinion
The hospital has not answered specific questions over its treatment of Alyssa but said it was acting in her best interest
