Most of you already know I was exploited by a previous PDoc. I am still working through some things.

Does anyone know if it takes more than one doctor's signature to commit someone to a State Mental Hospital?

Back then, after the exploitation but while I was still on speaking terms with PerpDoc, he was insisting that I see a particular neurologist because PDoc thought I was having seizures. He also told me that he wanted me tell the neurologist positive things about PDoc. I could help get him referrals from the neurologist that way.

By then, I had already consulted with a new group of doctors, so I turned him down. I was suspicious of his motives. It was dawning on me that he might try to have me committed so that I would not report him. I thought that might be why he was insistent that I see the neurologist. When I refused, the PerpDoc had my drivers license revoked, lying, saying I had seizures, when there was no proof of that.

I had to go through several medical tests, including an EEG, to get my drivers license back. My new doctors were one and a half hours away from where I lived, one way. My attorney in L.A. was two and a half hours away. I could not get their help if I could not drive there.

All these years I have had this fear that PDoc was scheming to get me committed. Current T said something like...he didn't need two doctors to sign off on it, that he could have committed me all by himself.

Does anyone know what is required to commit someone to a State Mental Hospital in California? This happened around 1995.
