Innocent man wrongfully detained and drugged
Martin Zavan, ninemsn 3:06pm December 26, 2012

A Perth man was wrongfully detained and given anti-psychotic drugs after he was accidentally mistaken for an escaped psychiatric patient.

In mid-December a patient left Perth's Graylands Mental Hospital without permission and police were called in to help locate the man, PerthNow reports.
On December 16 a man fitting the patient's description was picked up by police and taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, where he was held overnight.
The man was then given anti-psychotic drugs which caused an adverse reaction and resulted in him becoming ill.
The real escaped patient returned to Graylands on December 18 and staff realised a mistake had been made.
Minister for Mental Health Helen Morton has apologised for the "dreadful mistake".
""I am very sorry for the distress and hurt that the misidentified man has endured.
The incident is being investigated by health authorities and the Western Australian Police.

simply a case of mistaken identity by the police .. why make it sound like it's some sort of govt. conspiracy?

I'm sure the police should have just let him go when he said 'it's not me, you've got the wrong man'... after all, they only hear that about 100 times a day. It shouldn't happen but occasionally it does.

yes the government

by law

has the right to do this

you vote for the politicians that implement these laws

many well meaning people are led by the nose

to the trough of facism

be at peace with this

so you're in favor of police letting people go just because they say 'it's not me' ?  ... you cannot have police protecting you, and then cry about it when they do their jobs.

you cannot have police protecting you

___________

i am that i am

and need no protection other than that

which i do embody

and so it is i do not have the same comfort

for fear that you do

with compassion for your fear based reality

and response that you do project

be at peace

hospitals full of hard working top blokes and shielas should never be held to account by fat lazy stupid legalistic bureacrats and smug lawyers and "risk management consultants" who dont have the balls to do hospital work or police work.


the first group (cops and health workers ) are pillars of society who need our support not our judgement.

the second are the wreckers of vocations and noble professions.
they must be despised for the snivelling paper shufflers they are.

I wonder if you would be talking like that if it was you that was mistaken for someone else and pumped full of drugs?
