Very sorry for your loss and the struggles your mom faced.
That's what is scary about this order for sure. Of course the hospitals WANT to get the patients to the appropriate facility to help them. But if none of them have space and the hospitals have a finite deadline to get the patient into them, then do they just boot the patient out? Send them home without receiving any proper care for their mental health crisis?
This seems like such a half-baked, knee-jerk reaction to a lawsuit, and I agree that people's lives/wellbeing are at risk.
