I've been reading this blog for about a year now and this is my first (and last) comment. I read this post with great disappointment, over the past year or so I'd built up a great respect for you and your work, but that's gone now. You've crossed a line that no medical person can ever be justified in crossing, you've ignored the clearly stated wishes of a mentally competant patient, and threatened them with violence to get your way ( That's what arrest is after all, the threat of force if you don't do what you're told, that it's legal is beside the point ). I have to say I hope this post does cost you your job because after today, I wouldn't want you attending to me or any of my family.
