If you're on a medication prescribed to you that impairs you more than being at .08 BAC, but it's not a controlled substance, can you still get a DUI? Does anything get impacted if you're forced to either drive half an hour or walk five hours to their building and be watched while you take it because your treatment team decided they don't trust you to take them as prescribed? I would assume not, because I'd have the option of passing out on a park bench down the road instead of driving home.
What would the legal consequences be if someone had the option of either going to get their meds and killing someone on the way back or staying home and getting a wellness check where they might get pepper sprayed, tased, or shot and they figured they'd go with the former because going down is what is expected of them? Does the mental health center have any part when they were told by the patient that the meds make her feel unsafe driving but still required the patient to come down anyway also knowing this person does not have reliable transportation from other people? __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |

I do. You think it would count if it’s not technically an appointment and it’s every day for forever? If they have “standing order” rides for non appointments, I’d be all over that.
I am gonna ask to be on the med run first though so I make the way they’re medicating me their problem too. If I can’t leave my house beyond walking in the immediate vicinity because of them, I’m going to make them realize that. __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |
