driftinggull21 said:The CDC should have contacted her local LOM, which would have then conducted a home visit to perform an assessment, issue a referral for psychiatric inpatient care, and call for an ambulance.
The rest of the procedure is standard: if she refuses hospitalization, it becomes involuntary. This also raises the inevitable question of guardianship and placement, as she clearly lacks the capacity to care for herself.
That sounds great in theory, doesn't it? But in practice, it’s a complete disaster. The neighbors of that absolute piece of work from Venice have already reached out to every single local agency in the city—I mean, they've gone through the ringer—and yet, absolutely nobody has stepped up to handle the situation. It’s infuriating. And honestly, why would they? A GP or a psychiatrist would be taking a massive professional risk just by getting involved. At the end of the day, it would just turn into one of those sensationalized medical dramas you see on TV, where everything is exaggerated and nothing actually gets resolved properly. Rest in peace, Ms. Murdoch. It’s a miracle we haven’t officially branded our entire healthcare system as Nazi by now—honestly, at this rate, that might be the only logical conclusion left to draw.
And here’s exactly why: I honestly can't wrap my head around how people still fall for this kind of nonsense—it’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck where everyone is cheering for the impact. You see it all the time in these online debates, where someone thinks they’ve delivered some profound truth, but in reality, they’re just shouting at clouds. It reminds me of that one time I was stuck in traffic outside of Chicago—just sitting there, staring at the bumper of a minivan, thinking about how much energy we waste on things that don't actually matter. Anyway, back to the point. We have to stop pretending that these institutions are actually looking out for us. They aren't. Whether it’s the way the local government handles urban planning or how the big corporations squeeze every last cent out of the consumer, the pattern is always the same: profit or power over people. Always. And if you think for one second that anyone is coming to save you, you’re living in a fantasy land. It’s frustrating, really. You try to explain the logic, you try to lay out the facts—and what do you get? Silence or, worse, complete derision from people who clearly haven't read a book since high school. It makes you want to just close the laptop and go for a long walk, though even then, you can't escape the sheer absurdity of modern life. People just want easy answers, and when they don't get them, they turn into trolls. It's exhausting. Truly.
Just let the man live his life however he sees fit—honestly, why is everyone so obsessed? You all really need to mind your own business and focus on what you're doing instead of breathing down someone else's neck.
