What is a CMH 5150 for all us East Coasters? Is it a "Section 12"?

Yes, a 5150 is comparable to a Section 12 in Massachusetts or a Baker Act in Florida. It's a 72 hour legal hold for the initial evaluation and treatment of mental disorders resulting in an individual who is a danger to self, danger to others, or gravely disabled. The name "5150" comes from the section of the California Welfare and Institutions code that covers it.

Thanks bud! Yeah, typically with my company we either restrain or sometimes have had a cop ride with us if they choose not to restrain them, just for safety's sake. That head lac is gonna hurt in the morning I bet.

I assume you mean Pacific? Naw, we get your CMH hand-me-downs on the weekends. What's up with those two and three hour ETAs?

Didn't tackle him, per se, I don't really remember what exactly happened, my partner says we (the patient and I) fell out of the back of the ambulance, and I just happened to be on top.

When you only have 2, sometimes 3 units on, and 3 or 4 CCT's holding. It happens XD Longest ETA I gave was 90
