A comment on Phony diagnoses hide high rates of drugging at nursing homes. Parent comment
"There are many possible outcomes following examination of the patient. These include
(1) the release of the individual to the community (or other community placement),
(2) a petition for involuntary inpatient placement
...
(3) involuntary outpatient placement (what some call outpatient commitment or assisted treatment orders), or
(4) voluntary treatment (if the person is competent to consent to voluntary treatment and consents to voluntary treatment)."
[Numbers mine]
So assuming #2 and #3 are the "bad" outcomes: both seem to require a judge's order within 72 hours?
Unless the definition of "stable" has a wiggle room I am not appreciating? Or some other practical nuance?
