How can one succesfully challenge psychiatric medical staff when they can lock a citizen away, drug them, deny them access to a phone if staff believe the proposed patient is not fit to use a phone etc.<br /><br />If these so called professionals are found to have abused their powers, they should pay dearly for the harm caused to this person. In addition to compensating the victim, the medical staff involved should get jail time.<br /><br />It's one thing to be locked away in jail or prison with access to phones, but when citizens are detained against their will, drugged, locked in a psychiatric ward UN-LAWFULLY, then Houston, we all have a problem, and somebody needs to hold these un-ethical medical professionals accountable!broadpowershttp://www.broadpowers.comnoreply@blogger.com
