...looking for something when he came to the residence? Did her husband pay/bribe psychiatrist? 2. According to the opinion, Mrs. Stowers was committed on the strength of the statement of two physicians that she was "mentally ill." Would that evidence be sufficient today to have someone committed involuntarily? If not, what would the evidence have to prove? Why? In this case, it does not prove that Mrs. Stowers was a threat to herself or others in her family. It seems as if she was kept away from her family except when it was convenient for her spouse. I do not think that a person could be committed today based on the evidence given in this case. Apparently, she became mentally ill when she filed for divorce. 3. How should these kinds of cases be handled today? If a person is in danger of harming themselves or others, all of the events should be documented so there is a trail of events. Depending on how bad or life threatening the event is, they may involuntarily commit the person and remain in constant contact with the family. How can intentional torts arise in the healthcare field? Be sure to provide specific examples. Intentional torts are intentional actions that result in harm to the plaintiff. The harm need not be intended, but the act must be intentional, not merely careless or reckless. Most intentional torts are also crimes. The classic intentional tort in medical practice is forcing unwanted medical care on a patient. The care may...
