HNTKYP:Prisoner or patient, psychiatric holds in the ED

In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Wolf dive deep into the complex world of behavioral health in the emergency department. Too often, psychiatric patients are treated as though their visit is a carceral event—stripped of autonomy, dignity, and decision-making capacity. We explore the ethical dilemmas, systemic barriers, and practical challenges that emergency nurses face when caring for patients with behavioral health needs.
