Original Message
a friend of mine had a panic attack along with suicidal thoughts but attempted nothing dangerous to herself other than go to a hospital ER for some help.
now it's two days later and she hasn't been seen by anybody other than a social worker. she's held in a room in ER and they're telling her she can't leave until transferred to a state facility to even begin treatment. they said it could take a couple more days.
this is in illinois. she signed nothing. they say because she has thoughts of taking her life that all her rights are gone. she needs to be with friends and not some shithole that doesn't give a fuck about her.
is it really not possible for her to leave being that she has done no damage to anybody?
