Wow, some real terrible One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest stuff in the article. I didn't know people were still getting involuntarily committed to asylums and forced to take medication based on some doctor's vibes. Thought that ended decades ago!

And, of course, the hospital is successfully hiding behind a coerced "agreement" and court procedure technicalities. So there will be no justice because a State Court did this and a District judge said that, and a Federal Court moved this way and an Appellate Court moved that way. Typical Court-Chess without regard to the actual injured person.
