Thank you, the care he is getting from this new physician is basic at best. Being in the hospital is God sent, but we know nothing about the meds, nothing about plan of care, this physician will not say anything, unless, the paranoid psych patient gives him permission! It is a tragedy!

What bothers me is the lack of outpatient care given to them. Your friend definitely sounds like they need outpatient help, but is not getting any. This, to me, is wrong.
I don't think the family can do anything to keep him in, unless it's proven that your friend can't make proper judgements for himself, or he becomes a harm to himself or others.
 I hope your friend gets the help he deserves. |
