Kobi, I have to disagree with you. I've been in law for nearly as long as you have been in medicine. People most certainly can be involuntarily committed into medical facilities including nursing homes. In NC a court action is filed either for Adult Protective Services or Incompetency. We do numerous cases like this each month - my boss represents our county's DSS in APS, CPS and CSE cases. These cases can be filed and adjudicated in a matter of weeks. Anyone can file one of these cases, not just DSS.

Here is the link to the Complaint filed by Clay Greene's attorneys - please take the time to read this. I think it will give everyone a better understanding of what happened and fill in the gaps in the news story I posted in my OP.

Just because you have all the right documents doesn't mean some narrowminded and/or ignorant person/institution will honor them.

Remember the lesbian couple from Washington who were in Florida for the Rosie Cruise?

Here is the link to the Amended Complaint filed in that matter:

Sadly the Federal Court granted the Defendant's Motion and dismissed the action.

We must continue to fight for our equality!
