Attorney General rules psychiatric evaluation not required for court orders
Topeka Kan AP Attorney General Curt Schneider says a state mental hospital cannot refuse court ordered admission for psychiatric testing or treatment solely for lack of a psychiatrist's statement. The opinion followed a Douglas County probate judge inquiry after Topeka State Hospital demanded a psychiatrist evaluated recommendation. The ruling clarifies that a physician's statement suffices though statutes do not require a psychiatrist.
