"I'm sure we'll find Danny within the hour. And it's not like he's all that sophisticated. Make sure to pay for the door repair at the hospital. I don't want anyone talking."
Harold Meachum to Ward Meachum[src]

The Escape from Birch Psychiatric Hospital was an escape attempt orchestrated by Iron Fist, who had been taken to Birch Psychiatric Hospital by Ward and Joy Meachum against his will.

Background[]

"I'm at the Birch Psychiatric Hospital. Uh, I need your help."
"Why would you come to me for help?"
"You're the only person I know in New York who doesn't want to kill me or put me in a mental hospital."
"Then I might want to rethink that."
"No, listen. I'm not crazy, okay? They drugged me. They, they... they brought me here against my will. You saw me being attacked the other night. You know there's something going on."
Danny Rand and Colleen Wing[src]

Danny Rand entered Rand Enterprises and waited for Joy Meachum in her office. She agreed to talk with him, and gave him a cup of tea, as Rand claimed that Ward sent men to kill him last night. Joy did not believe him, but admitted that she thinks he does look like Danny. While a drug which she put in his tea took effect, rendering him unconscious, Ward and Joy sent Rand to Birch Psychiatric Hospital.[1]

Doctor Paul Edmonds contacted Joy Meachum, so as to check the Rand's story with her. Her recount matched perfectly with Danny Rand's, causing Edmonds to reconsider the possibility that his patient is telling the truth. Harold Meachum visited Rand in his ward at night. Rand is drugged and he did not realize that Meachum is still alive, believing him to only be a hallucination.[4]

"I believe you."
"Really? Because it doesn't seem that way when you directly disobey an order. I asked to have Danny moved to a safe location, and you tried to have him killed."
Ward Meachum and Harold Meachum[src]

Harold Meachum called Ward Meachum and told him he had decided to move Danny Rand to a safe place that same night, since he believed he could be useful. Instead, Ward hired patients Tony, Dink and Leo to attack Rand. Despite they managed to gain the upper hand, Rand managed to overpower them by finally summoning the Iron Fist, which he then used to punch through a wall and break out of the hospital.[4]

Aftermath[]

This section requires expansion
"We're trying to help."
"By breaking in?"
"We're chasing him. The guy who says he's Danny Rand? He escaped from a mental–"
"There's nobody here but me. And I can take care of myself."
Shannon and Colleen Wing[src]

Ward Meachum's men came into Colleen Wing's dojo to get Danny Rand, but Wing managed to keep him hidden and lied to the men searching. However, she told Rand that he would have to leave in the morning.[5]
