Gentle reminder that the World Health Organization considers both forced restraints and involuntary hospitalization to be human rights abuses, and is advocating for those interventions to be banned globally:

I just wonder…What have these folks done outside of the hospital to warrant an involuntary hospitalization (often escorted to the ER by ambulance or EPC’d by the police) or on the unit to meet the very strict criteria for forced restraints? I’d love to have the WHO peeps who wrote this crap to come on over to the county hospitals, community ERs and psych floors on a full-moon Friday night to observe first hand who’s rights are being violated by whom. For them, it’ll be a nail-biter all the way to the end of the shift or until one of them gets head-butted in the groin.
