If it's still true that she can discharge herself if she goes voluntarily, that would motivate her.
She voluntarily checked in many years ago, but they couldn't change the dressing on the open wound she had. Instead they called me in to do it.
The psychiatric unit is on the same campus as the hospital, but "wound care is closed today."
And we had to "fight" to get her out before the mandatory three-day stay.
