My question involves malpractice in the state of: South Carolina
My fiancé went to her psychiatrist today and came out with two very conflicting outcomes. She was declared harmful to herself (I do not think she is, she only gets suicidal thoughts during rare really bad panic attacks and has never tried to act. She also has a therapist and is following all of the recommendations given to her) and forced to check herself in to an outpatient behavioral program or "you'll have to be taken in by a cop car." I'm not a doctor so Im accepting that I could just be wrong at this point... until I notice a prescription for 20 xanax in her hand.
From my view one of two things happened.
1) she was wrongly considered a risk to herself and is being used as a revenue stream for the behaviorall health center connected to the same hospital the psychiatrist works for. (I vote for this theory)
2) she was rightfully considered a risk to herself and then sent home with one of the most commonly used drugs to overdose.
Both of these should be illegal, but are either of them? I feel like I'm being forced to pay for a service neither me nor her want. Regardless this feels like an abuse of power, is there any action that can take to prevent having to pay for this mandated medical treatment we don't want?
