Can someone on a 5150 refuse a medical workup? I had one last night who was a real a-hole. Came in on a 5150. First he was mute for several hours then after ativan 1mg IM he was yelling and screaming saying he wants a second opinion, wanted a lawyer, all this crap. Refused to give blood and urine for medical clearance.
I think they can...if they can make informed medical decisions then I think they can. But I don't know...and if they refuse to be cooperative then we can't medically clear them. Could potentially stay in the ER for thousands of hours, maybe longer.
