And that is the practice, isn't it?
As an emergency department, like we talked about earlier.
is there for emergencies, but that's not how the code is written.
The code says danger to self or danger to others.
That's half of it.
But the other half is or gravely disabled.
And someone with grave disability is not in an acute crisis, except for the fact that they're in acute crisis every day for their entire life.
They're in a chronic state of being not able to manage their basic needs.
It can be because of mental health problems or substance use disorder problems or both.
But until we actually follow the rules that we have, we can't hope to change.
Just like Dr. Meyer said, it's not even about new laws.
It's why aren't we following the ones we have?
That person should not have been released.
I also want to do a call out to the incredible hospital emergency physicians that are having to battle this.
I cannot tell you how many calls I've gotten because I've been working with doctors for several years and they'll say, I have someone, where does he go?
What's available?
What placement options do I have?
And I feel like if those were available, I think they would be a lot quicker to say, okay, this meets the burden.
We can transfer them to get help.
But if we have blocked access and nowhere to put them, that's pretty hard to fix.
