To Dr. Muhammad S. Khan
Dr. Khan, it appears your professional assessment recommending up to twenty additional days of involuntary “rehabilitation” was unfounded. In hindsight, it’s clear there was no legitimate basis for such confinement. The issue you claimed existed simply did not.
A few thoughts for reflection
You asserted that I posed a danger to myself or others. If you truly believed that, I imagine you hoped to be proven correct—after all, professional credibility depends on accurate judgment. Yet, for you to be “right,” I would have had to fail. Conversely, my success and well-being necessarily expose your evaluation as inaccurate.
This creates a moral paradox: if your goal was to be right, someone would have to be harmed. If your goal was for me to thrive, your assessment would stand as demonstrably wrong. To complicate matters further, the petition you filed was completed (below) before you even conducted your evaluation—raising serious concerns about both procedure and ethics.
That is the dilemma, isn’t it? Either way, your decision reveals more about your process than about your patient.
