All I know is that I was Nationally Certified in Psch when working and a psychotic patient is never left alone. Staff is not allowed to admit until the patient is accompanied by staff of the psych unit after receiving admission order from the doc then a formal admission is done and immediately when the patient arrives with staff on the unit pdoc is called for further order if warranted And an EKG was immediately done and labs.. Can't admit a patient Without doctor's orders . Did she have them? Did someone assess her first? Sickening and definitely as I also worked as an expert witness in court for various cases a law suit in my opinion is a must. That's my personal opinion. Love Phillipa
