The facilities in and around where Deeds lived have responded that they were never contacted about the availability of a pshyc bed. Most said that they had beds available and would have accepted young Deeds if anyone has called and asked. I heard the same thing on CNN. Two hospitals within an hour's driver said they had a bed for him. We still have not heard anyone say the younger Deeds consented to being admitted. If he didn't want to go, they couldn't make him go, no matter how many beds were there. From what I see, most of these admissions come after a criminal court proceeding ... in lieu of prosecution or jail time. Think Trey Radel. If the younger Deeds had survived the gunshot, he would have been willing to check himself in for treatment. The fact that he had to be involuntarily taken in for assessment implies he was not a willing patient before the attack. Unfortunately the democratic principle of letting no tragedy go to waste is working here and they are milking this cow on all 4 tits Since none of us have seen the call list of the facility that did the preliminary intake on Deeds, we don't even know if the facility in Charlottesville should have been called. I did get a chuckle out of the claim that one of the facilities in a nearby town had someone competent to do a psych eval of Deeds or anyone else on 24-hour call. Maybe that is a problem with living out in the sticks. The fact remains that 2 hospitals within an hour's drive, did say they had a bed. Nobody has said the younger Deeds was willing to go. Without due process, they couldn't make him. Even then, it is usually jail or treatment. Charlottesville is closer to two hours away. I think the other hospital was in Staunton. Certainly the UVA hospital in Charlottesville would have been a good choice. I'm not sure I'd go to a hospital in Staunton for more than a paper cut. The issue is not how far or what facility was better the issue is that these instituitons were not contacted and they should have been on the list to contact. When my wife went into pre-term labor they called all level 3 NICU's in the area, MD and VA, and she was going to be sent to the first one that responded that they had a NICU bed available. |
