How can a person refuse medical treatment when it is necessary? I am a research geneticist, so my medical knowledge is no greater than that of any layperson. But I consider myself knowledgeable enough to know when something is wrong. In this case, something is indeed wrong. [...]
It's Isobel Hughes, the resident of 906. I have no physical evidence that she is not eating, but her marked weight loss should be evidence enough. She has rapidly lost weight ever since the full moon. I don't believe it to be an eating disorder, though [...] its nature as "mental" is a sound theory.
She simply needs to be taken to the hospital where she can be treated. If this is lawful as you say, then I have no reason to hesitate. Thank you.
