The Victoria police did not get their way, as far as getting British Columbia Government to give to security at hospitals police powers to detain citizens waiting a mental health evaluation. <br />Note to the police: Stick around the ER, the ER staff may want to consult with you to ask questions about why you brought the citizen to them, did you contact family, read the citizen their rights etc. Police do read citizens their rights don't they? Hospitals must ensure that information they are given is not fabricated, and that hospital staff do not drug citizens until the citizen's advocate has had an opportunity to check the validity of their committal!broadpowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11965272881092683606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29038780.post-1159738156082671822006-10-01T17:29:00.000-04:002006-10-01T17:29:00.000-04:00Now for the rest of the story! Now the Victoria police in British Columbia are wanting hospital security guards to be given police powers to detain citizens against their will so police don't have to wait for a medical certificate to be filled out, or wait until the citizen is seen by a psychiatrist. <BR/>That would be just swell except that police are not accountable when no written objective report is given by police to hospital staff stating reasons for taking a citizen to hospital in the first place. The concerns are as follows: Police leave hospital, the physicians, nurses, family, lawyers cannot ask police any questions as they would be gone! Most times there is no written police report given to hospital. Misinformation, misconstrued, fabricated, embellished, the hospital staff should be able to form an opinion based on information from the horses mouth or at least a written report from the police themselves. When citizens can be detained and put on anti-psychiatric drugs against their free will, then we must all voice our concerns.broadpowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11965272881092683606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29038780.post-1157757559534212052006-09-08T19:19:00.000-04:002006-09-08T19:19:00.000-04:00Dr. Barelli was wrong in his approach to fill beds for detox! <BR/>Go to broadpowers.com and see what is happening in Canada. You cannot detox people for seven days and dump them back on the street with no support especialy when you just spent $800.00 per day detoxing them! It would be cheaper to buy drugs for them. Addicts need beds, they need support, not just a bed so some psychiatrist can make big money! If Barelli was so dedicated to detoxing people then why did he leave? The other side of the coin is that htere have been people who were suicdal and homacidal refused treatment, who followed through with their threats! Open up closed down hospital floors, the ones shut down to save money. Something stinks here, but the main point here is addicts need treatment centres, but don't deny people who are on the brink of suice or homacide their right to get help, because these beds are there to protect the citizens themselves as well as the public, and now barelli has been eating away the resources needed to keep Archie Courtnall in operations, as well needed resources to fund detox beds! What was he thinking? We also were not told what work he is doing now, we know where but not what! Good Day!broadpowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11965272881092683606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29038780.post-1156576830700428682006-08-26T03:20:00.000-04:002006-08-26T03:20:00.000-04:00You are always bang up to date with the "news"<BR/><BR/>Web Editor<BR/>Daily Dose<BR/>http://www.dailydose.net<BR/>Drugs in Sport<BR/>http://www.drugsinsport.net <BR/><BR/>Tel: 07875005242Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
