Court Force

August 12th, 2009 by admin

What kind of court order do you need to force someone to go the hospital?

My father is very sick. It started with a severe headache. It has moved on to mood swings, severe negative attitude, inablitity to eat or drink. He adamantly refuses to go to the hospital, where I think IV and nourshiment would help. Blood tests and MRI of his brain show nothing, two minor strokes but not enought to warrant his behavior. He has gone to the doctor who thinks he needs to be checked in the hospital for more tests. How do I force him to go? The doctor's office says I need a court order. ANd what could this be?? It started about 2 weeks ago.

usually, you cant 'commit' someone to the hospital without proving that the person is a danger to themselves or others - example, someone who you know is driving drunk, threatening to kill someone, or threatening to kill themselves. if he doesnt want to go to the hospital for tests, you cant have him committed. the only way you could get him to go otherwise is if you have been granted power of attorney (POA) over your dad, in which case he would have to sign over this power to you....in this case, you are entitled to make medical/health decisions in your dad's behalf in the case that he is mentally incapacitated, unable to make a decision for himself (in a coma, etc), or if you can prove he has some sort of mental disorder (such as dementia) that makes him unable to understand the repercussions of his decisions. maybe this is something you should talk to your dad about and see if it is something he may consider.
