[quote=Anonymous]It’s interesting - I work in a hospital where we routinely get admissions who were escorted in by police - people who were found on the street with “altered mental status” - i.e. going from house to house ringing doorbells, etc. They are evaluated by Psychiatry and they do get testing to rule out medical causes. If two doctors determine that they lack capacity to make their own health care decisions, involuntary placement is pursued. If PPs cousin has no prior signs of psychosis, I would strongly suspect a medical cause. If they can get him to the ER for testing, scans, etc. that would be ideal, but it sounds like he won’t be compliant. He will likely end up in the hospital or in jail first.[/quote]
