It depends on local law, Becca. Where I am, in Florida, a mental health eval resulting from even an EMT call can present me with the option of self-admission or being "Baker-acted"--admitted for a more extensive, 72-hr evaluation. Either way, I'm hospitalized.

That's how it is in Florida, at least. And it's happened to me. To lots of people. It's real popular here.

I hope you guys can work this out reasonably.
