(below is copy/paste)
The Patient Self-Determination Act (PSDA) of 1990
In 1990, Congress passed The Patient SelfDetermination Act (PSDA) 42 U.S.C. §§ 1395 et seq., a federal law which requires health care providers to inform all adult patients of their right to accept or refuse medical treatment, and their right to execute an advance directive. This law had particular impact upon nursing homes and assisted living facilities, because it required them to ask each /patient/ resident whether an advance directive was in effect, and if not, if he or she desired one.


Right to Treatment
Once a patient has been duly admitted to a hospital, she or he has a right to leave at any time, or the hospital could be liable for false imprisonment. This is so even if the patient has not paid the bill or if the patient wants to leave against all medical advice. In rare cases, such as contagious disease cases, public health authorities may have state statutory or regulatory authority to quarantine a patient. In addition, state laws governing involuntary commitment of the mentally ill may be used to prevent a person of unsound mind from leaving the hospital, if a qualified psychiatrist determines that the person is a danger to himself or herself or the lives of others.
A doctor familiar with a patient's condition determines when a patient is ready for discharge and signs a written order to that effect. If the patient disagrees with a decision to discharge, she or he has the right to demand a consultation with a different physician before the order is carried out. The decision to discharge must be based solely on the patient's medical condition and not on nonpayment of medical bills.

Great thing you are doing here. I saw her interview and she seems more inapt than most people. Very sharp and alert. For the APS to do this is criminal. Great job in getting the word out.

Please Google Conservatorship Fraud, see the news storys by CBS Marie Long in Arizona or the latest stories by Mickey Rooney, there are judges and lawyers in the US who prey on defenseless seniors, ripping them from their homes, lying, perjuring petitions only to put them away in a home )locked and the drugged so they appear mentally ill. Please look into this this woman in the video is NOT alone

[stupidAmerkin]

Over step bounds. Taken advantage, etc? How about out right evil CRIMINALS committing CRIMES of fraud, robbery as an entire fraud agency continues to plunder, steal, rob and destroy anyone it can by any means possible for the sake of money and control. What is God's name has this country come to, to let these atrocities continue by these out right blatant criminals disguised in black robes and uniforms?

[stupidAmerkin]

is called good and good is called evil, I will be knocking at the door.

[stupidAmerkin]

EVIL FOR THE SAKE OF MAMMON AND POWER? The justus system is on the WRONG side of history for sure, but these social pathic men & women disguised in respectability under the color of law that continue to fleece, plunder and destroy their fellow men will be held accountable. The universal laws work with mathematical precision without fail for everyone and everything. YOUR DAY WILL COME, SO ENJOY YOUR SICK AND PERVERTED LIFE OF JUSTIFIED EVIL WHILE YOU CAN. When the day comes that evil is
