the decision has been made by the consultant
psychogeriatrician, that the patient is depressed and
thus incapable of informed consent, and thus we have
to treat under common law.
The orriginal plan was to used forced sedation with
IV lorazepam, but she eventually succumbed to the
powers of gentle persuasion. She now has a venflon,
Parvolex, and will go to the psychiatric ward
tommorrow (under section if she tries to leave).
I would appreciate any comments.
