ape may be a PITA but burying someone alive is pretty damned evil

This thread is ridiculously confusing to me.
Logic says call her family and doctors immediately, not ask for advice on a forum. I don't want to come across as mean, but come on...
Nah, family and doctors would never recommend scotch, as that is the obvious cure.
Oddly enough, I'm not.
World is weird, I know.
CARE-ASS
NONE OF YOUR SHIT MAKES ANY SENSE. IF THE HEALTH OFFICIALS CAME TO SEE HER AND SHE WAS ALL SOILED OR PISSY PANTS AND TALKING TO THE LAMP, THEY WOULDA TAKEN HER STRAIGHT TO THE ROOM OF LE RUBBER.
Just had a phonecall from a girl I used to live with to say the other girl I used to live with has completely gone off the deep end - hallucinations, not sleeping or eating, talking gibberish, being a danger to herself, wandering off on her own, turning up in doctors surgeries etc
At the moment my friend doesn't think she's be to left alone and is getting a crisis team to call round tomorrow to see what they can do but does anyone have any experience with people they know going through this sort of thing? Anything I can do to scotch her or shall I just leave it to the docs (assuming they can do it speedily enough)?
Pheen can you confirm that the health care system in Britain is THAT bad...that they will leave a soiled 26 yr old alone to lick walls and talk to lamps?
Gee's I guess you gotta be someone famous to be put in the Hospital & sectioned in UK. Adam Ant screamed at some Christians during a show & he was locked up. He didn't sh*t or piss his pants & was probably able to feed himself.
There is something wrong with this story here.
If Health Officials came to talk to this person who is in such a bad way, they would have done something & gotten her assistance right away. Not leave her where she was in soiled clothes & unable to feed herself or bath having hallucinations.
Actually the story is exactly as outlined. The crisis team wanted to see how she was in a week and recommended that she was left on her own to see if she got used to it! They seemed to think that as she posed no danger to others and wasn't threatening self harm then NME and her housemate should take care of her. WTF. She was turned away from the hospital because they jumped to the conclusion (wrongly) that she was on drugs. After I contacted NHS Direct, miraculously and coincidentally a bed appeared and she was admitted last night. Her father arrived from the other end of the country today and took her home.
I think the main problem here as DJB made me aware is that you cannot admit somebody unless they agree to it and she wasn't sure whether she wanted to be in hospital or at home. She kept changing her mind every 2 minutes. If you see a patient and they're lucid and say they want to go home, you cannot keep them in so the docs were unsure as to whether she should just go home. However once again I was surprised (although I don't know why) at the judgemental attitude. Yes I can understand it and I'm sure they see drug fall outs all the time but that doesn't mean 1 in 100 aren't like that and genuinely need help. It's like when I went to A&E once years ago after a fall, the x-ray said the blow to my face was akin to somebody punching me so they looked at my boyfriend and decided he was a woman beater, kept trying to cajole me into saying he hit me etc. then got angry with me for not 'being honest'.
To be fair, who's going to believe that you fell off a pair of stilts?
Werd. I keep imagining if I ever roll over in my sleep and do something like that what the women at work will say.
My friend Laura used to play on it when she had her black eye though, she'd look sheepish in shops, shout 'you should have seen the other guy' to people on the street etc. She's a bit of a whackjob though.
