That was my initial reaction also. But, I think Prince really didn't want to stay because word would've leaked out about his addiction problem. Obviously it was the wrong decision to make.
I don't know what AMA stands for. The hospital should have sent someone to be with him at all times if he was that much in trouble. Lots of mistakes made here, but mostly it falls on Prince's shoulders- he and only he knew how far gone he was in this situation.
AMA - Against Medical Advice. You can sign yourself out and get discharge papers, and they don't have responsibility if you do so.
June 7th marks Prince's birthday. He would have turned 58 years old. It's been over a month and a half since he passed away and it still hurts like h*ll to think about it. I try to keep thinking about the good (and GREAT!) times I had while his music played as the soundtrack to my life. I went to karaoke last Thursday night with friends and sang three Prince songs. One of them was Purple Rain, which I dedicated to 'absent friends' and said 'R.I.P. Prince- I miss you.' before I started to sing. When I was leaving (we closed the place down!) a black man stopped me and thanked me for honoring Prince the way I did. I told him that Prince was everything to me and that he meant so much to me. He started to tear up and went to shake my hand, then stopped and said 'What the heck.' and put his arms around me. We gave each other a hug. Two strangers consoling each other, sharing their love for someone neither had ever met- that's what Prince's message was, and still is, all about- LOVE.
That brought tears..
....yep, he's a good man and has an even gooder heart.....
I only hope that they decide to make it an unofficial holiday every year to honor his memory.....

Minnesota Governor Declares Prince's Birthday a Holiday
I heard on the radio that it would've been Prince's 58th birthday today and that he was born in '58. Not sure why, but this made me even sadder. Would've been kinda like the ultimate golden birthday. 
I've been reading your posts, I've been a Prince fan from the beginning. I am still grieving. I've followed him literally been to Minneapolis his home both homes as a fan. I delivered a painting of him to his security guard as Prince rolled up in his bMW
I only one of his millions of fans grieve so deeply for such a soulful genius. But it blows my mind no one could reach him if his pain was so deep It kills me to not know what happened.
But I am trying to reconcile how he would handle such a loss which btw he did, losing his child his wife, and then a 2 Nd wife demolishing that home.. That's how he started a new I suppose. An artist thinks different acts different they just are hypersensitive special .. That's all we can do is finally accept our loss, I'm. Not there yet. I'm still figuring it out. It's easy to say he was killed, or murdered cause it don't add up..to me...
.but if one merely human like the rest of us has pain and Drs give pain meds and he got hooked then my heart is so heavy that he had so many more years to give us. But you see that might be the key his journey was done. Maybe his purple path was complete and the rest of it is somewhere in or over the rainbow, he had a rainbow right over Paisley Park I m sure that was him. I will soak upever last drop of him .. People cashing in or soulfully doing tributes, I am loving watching him it's our way to honor him respect him adore him. Really I think he knew his path his religion was music then erotically and soulfully shared it with us, I am sure there is much more he is a ending to these days, I hope they whoever is the keeper of his vault share it with us soon.
Tune in to BMT Tribute 6/26 it should be honoring him with heart I hope Janelle Monae
Tune in more of Prince to come. Peace love purple

Pat- thank you for your wonderful post. To quote you: I'm not there yet either. I have been snatching up all of the magazines featuring His Royal Bad*ss. It seems to help some. I have been learning new things about Prince (he liked Eraserhead!) and I thought I knew everything about him. But, there's a hole inside of me now, one that I don't think will go away. I never knew Prince, I never met him and yet his death has struck me like none other has. I lost my Mom last November, my Dad three years ago, had to put down one of my cats last December but these didn't hit me as hard as this has. I don't mean to disrespect my Mom in any way- I loved her with all of my heart, she was such a wonderful, loving person. But, this 5'2" man touched my soul in the deepest part, to the core of my being, with his music. He inspired me to be a better person and to try to look for the good in people, regardless of the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, their religion, etc. Prince was inclusive- no one was denied admittance to 'Paisley Park'. Like many fans, I just thought that Prince would be here forever or at least that I would pass away first. Like dear Danie said in one of her posts, maybe it's struck us so hard because he was so close in age to us? I'm two years younger than Prince, so that's pretty close. I really haven't been able to listen to much of his music yet, but there will come a day when I will once again rejoice in those many songs that he left for all of us. I think there will be a new appreciation of his talent in the year to some. You and I were there from the beginning and were able to see what an amazing talent he was and would become. Let's hang on to that, shall we?
I'm surprised that he would want something like that.
I'm not. He knew (hopefully) how much his fans loved him. I'm just wondering what he meant by making it a different experience for fans each time they came to it?
