this is very true

we dont transport them unless they are calm enough to do so

it is not a case of wrong or ritght it depends on the situation

i have had many that should never have been transported by us ...

most of ours are just ones that havent had their meds and they know it we dont get a whole lot of the really wild ones where im from

had more of those on my clinicals which were in another town

Why do you hate periods and what type of psych patients are the ones that deserve to go by law enforcement [did they break a law?] instead of by ambulance?

This said, psych patients who are not on a hold/conservatorship with no other condition that necessitates transport should go by cab.

Just trying to clarify a bit. Is that any psych patient, any patient that is currently on a hold, or only aggressive psych patients. Not all psych patients are on a hold and not all psych patients on a hold are a danger [grave disability holds, for example]
