[quote=Anonymous]DP. What is the ED going to do, if the person refuses care and does not fit the extremely limited and specific indications of the Baker Act? Almost every time a person in mental health crisis comes in, all that happens is that they are checked to be medically stable, wait a very long time, and end up leaving AMA or with the person and those with them feeling like there was no help at all. Involuntary admissions happen, but not as common as this other situation. And then the people are mad more wasn't done. Because it's not legal to do more. You may not be able to do anything for the suicidal person, but neither can the ED, in most cases. Just because you can't fix it doesn't mean that anyone else can. That's not great. It's not ideal. But it is the law. [/quote]
