That’s just wrong
Back in the day when I was so over medicated that I’d get out of bed and go walking in my pajamas and bare feet as far as I know they never handcuffed me. They just drove me to the nearest hospital and dropped me off. But I don’t remember it. I wasn’t overdosing I just took my meds as prescribed but I was underweight so they should’ve known better than to prescribe such high doses. But instead of lowering the meds they just blamed ptsd. But the police were decent as far as I know.
