If i have five seizures in one week shouldn't i be put in the hospital to be watched over?

Yes and no: If there is any medical reason suspected for your recurrent seizures you will probably need a short hospital stay. If on the other hand there is only failure of taking your medicine for different reasons specific attention should be paid for improving compliance as an outpatient. For insurance purposes there are clear criteria for inpatient and hospitals may not get paid if criteria are not met.
