Wow. Everyone sacked out early tonight.
I am all jazzed up. I had a meeting today with a group from a hospital. I really and truly do not understand why people are willing to hand themselves over to mds. It is always fun to get to tell them (mds, rns, lcsws etc) they are not above the law. It is appalling to see how they think they are. I always advise my clients, once release is won, to leave the state and to stay away from their family unless they want the interference. If the client wants the interference, that is fine with me, but the ones who wish to get to choose how to live, I advise to get away. I should have a glass or two of something tonight myself. The western medicine community's interference and desire to interfere with autonomy is so wrong to me I will be up all night trying to wrap my head around their excuses for why they do what they do to my clients. It is always fun to get them worked up though. The courthouse, regardless of how eager courts are to protect mds, is not their arena.
