The Patient Self-Determination Act (PSDA) of 1990
In 1990, Congress passed The Patient SelfDetermination Act (PSDA) 42 U.S.C. ยงยง 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.

Thank You so much. I am not good at doing videos and the like, I did post to CNN i report, but I guess I didn’t do something right, I don’t know. Any way, thank goodness for people like you, bless you. Thing is, this can happen to anyone, old or not, they can always find a doc who will declare some sort of incompentance for the state.

thank you for your …
thank you for your research on patient’s rights!
thank you for your …
thank you for your thoughtful & well-spoken comments about Evelyn’s ordeal. The
court assigned a temporary guardian for her & she is a “ward of the state” no longer having power to determine her own OR control her own finances! tragic & disgusting. APS has made her caregiver out to be dangerous through lies & innuendo so they can take her and “protect” her. All was fine until APS intruded into Evelyn’s life. Evelyn knew what she wanted and still does: to live at home with her caregiver.
I don’t know you …
I don’t know you from Adam, but I AM sarcastic often.
“I will follow them and make 100 channels if I have to. I will make them sooo sick of me, that they never come back” – that looks like an admission of stalking.
Don’t EVER presume …
Don’t EVER presume to tell me who I must block. YOU are the one trying to bring a fight into the comment section of a video where I’m trying to help someone.
I will not allow such things.
Once more, good day.
