    Default Re: Can I Be Billed if I Refused Treatment and Was Completely Healthy

    What probate court hearing? That was never ascertained. No offense, but I think I would know if I were displaying signs of psychosis. Not to mention that it is pretty common for people in my line of work. Considering I would have been asleep, with my goal completed, if I were not interrupted by minor trivialities like why I didn't answer my phone, or stop by. I can tell you positively that 72 hours does not have many adverse affects for me. I have to pee slightly more, and talk a bit faster. That is about it. It is all about staying hydrated. I was not working with heavy machines, or driving, or doing anything with power tools. I was minding my own, working. What more people should do. I have done 72 hour stretches numerous times, doing everything I have mentioned above. No injuries/fatalities/accidents. I will admit that if you are one of those " I need 8-12 full hours of sleep to contribute anything of any value " people, you might want to ease into it.


    None of this matters.

    You have a choice. Pay the bill voluntarily, or get sued and have them force the issue.

    Either way, the bill is yours.

    You need to start reading what we've written.

    There are two ways you would have been detained. One: You consented. Two: You refused to consent, so the hospital filed a petition to detain you pending a court hearing. Nobody said that the court hearing occurred. Your symptoms apparently resolved prior to the scheduled hearing.

    If you were so far "out of it" that you don't remember being instructed about your rights and refusing to consent to treatment, it's no surprise that you were deemed to be in need of treatment. Perhaps you consented and don't remember that. If you didn't consent, a copy of the petition will be in your hospital file and also on file with the probate court.

    Next time you are so tired that you are displaying sleep deprivation-induced psychosis, take the phone off the hook and go to bed.

    (And this has nothing to do with HIPAA whatsoever - let's put that one to bed right now. No pun intended)

    "My own admission"
    Certainly would never admit myself for nothing... I was literally dragged in there.
    so, when you filed a complaint with the police against the person that you claim is guilty of false imprisonment as well as a few other crimes, what did they say?
