patient

Movement from the hospital facility is not at will; it is only authorized through the treating doctor or by the patient discharging himself.

“I deal next with the facility's leave regime because I understand that an impression may exist that the facility is a place a patient may enter and leave at will. That impression would be false. ... there is only one or two ways that a person could leave, on the pass of the treating doctor or ... if the person discharges himself”

The facility is not a place where a patient may enter and leave at will; leaving requires a pass from the treating doctor or self-discharge.

“I deal next with the facility's leave regime because I understand that an impression may exist that the facility is a place a patient may enter and leave at will. That impression would be false.”

A patient may lawfully leave the facility only in one of two ways: by pass issued by doctor or if patient discharges themselves.

“a patient may lawfully leave the facility only in one of two ways. But later ... the doctor ... tells us about the possibility of nurses also issuing passes”

The doctor made a categorical statement that people go out of the facility only in two lawful ways: pass by doctor or self-discharge, which contradicts later statements about nurses issuing passes.

“a patient may lawfully leave the facility only one of two ways. But later ... the doctor ... tells us about the possibility of nurses also issuing passes”

According to medical protocol, a patient may only leave a facility either with a pass by the doctor or if the patient wants to discharge themselves.

“a patient may only leave, and underlined only, in one of two ways which is a pass by the doctor and also if a patient wants to discharge themselves.”
