Seems like one of the failings of the ignore feature is triggered by large chains of quoting.

The Patient Bill of Rights
You also have the following rights, which are not absolute, and they will only be denied to you for good cause.
If they are denied to you for good cause, you (and your guardian if you have one) and your attorney will receive a written notice stating why and for how long each right will be denied (up to 30 days with renewals of up to 30 days each so long as the denial is necessary):
- To privacy and dignity;
- To the least restrictive conditions necessary to achieve the purpose of treatment.
- To wear your own clothing, to keep and use your personal possessions, and to keep and be allowed to spend a reasonable sum of your own money;
- To have access to individual storage space for your private use;
- To see visitors each day;
- To have reasonable access to and use of telephones both to make and receive confidential calls;
- To have ready access to letter-writing materials, including stamps, and to mail and receive unopened correspondence;
- To regular physical exercise several times a week;
- To be outdoors at regular and frequent intervals, so long as your medical conditions permit;
- To suitable opportunities for interaction with members of the opposite sex, with adequate supervision;
- To practice the religion of your choice or to abstain from religious practice;
- To receive prompt and adequate medical treatment for any physical ailment;
- To petition a court to review whether you are being legally detained (file a writ of habeas corpus) or to enforce any other right through a civil action, whether stated in this notice or otherwise available by law;
- To the protection of your confidentiality, especially with respect to written records of your treatment, in general, your records or any information about your treatment cannot be shared, except with those involved in your care or treatment, without either your authorization or the order of a court;
- You will be provided with an attorney unless you choose to hire your own attorney. Your attorney will assist you in understanding and enforcing any rights guaranteed to you by law, and will represent you at regular judicial reviews of your commitment or admission that will be provided pursuant to state law; and
- While you are an involuntary patient, you have a limited right to refuse to take psychotropic medication, and to have that medication order reviewed before you are required to take the medication.
Bolding is mine.
I also realize that a “handbook” does not always mean anything in a hospital but I have hope in this case it will.

If MB is required the cover part of his stay, is he able to add that amount to his counter claim?

If train A leaves the station traveling at 45 mph and train C leaves 15 minutes later but makes 1 stop, what time will train B arrive?
Your test questions remind me of the awful test questions like my fake one above. Too hard!!!

I have a question for the legal peeps. Are there likely to be anymore filings before the judge’s decision on Friday? They are interesting to read.

Who REALLY thinks that MB is a possible threat to others? Anyone? Bueller?
I also don’t think he is a threat to himself because he seems to have a pretty strong support system waiting for his release.
I have people that live maybe 2 miles from me that I avoid like the plague—it can be done.

I live in NYC and have people I avoid like the plague that live blocks from me. It can be done for sure. Some of them, I haven’t seen for years.

I can’t say because I don’t know him personally. That being said I suspect he would do well as he is clearly loved by many people with a huge loyal support system, a tropical home free of winter doldrums, healthy outlets like his artwork, continuing empathy as demonstrated by helping fellow inmates in jail and patients in the hospital and the ability to love again.
All healthy, positive signs.

I live in a quiet neighborhood in Brooklyn. We don’t even have a subway. It’s very insular… but I can still avoid people here.

Sociopaths have absolutely no empathy for anyone or anything. They can not comprehend empathy or caring for others and can’t help it. It is Zaid sociopath are incurable and I believe it is true. To the extreme think of Jeffery Dahmler or Hannible Lecter. They have no concept of guilt or wrong doing.

Are you evaluated for how well you vacuum? Like, how perfect your carpet patterns are? Is it like compulsory figures used to be in ice-skating? Or more like a dressage test - how perfectly you perform various movements?
