ok not to be devils advocate but i can see where the ml is coming from actually. major changes in behaviour is massive red flags for brain tumours and mental illnesses like schizophrenia. and often times the person suffering will think nothing is wrong so i can see why ml didnt ask for permission, he basically risks losing contact with someone who he believes is going through a schizophrenic episode which left untreated could be really dangerous. obviously we're the readers so we can see the bigger picture and know the mc isnt schizophrenic.
I personally haven't seen any mentally challenged people go to hospitals but, I've seen documentaries where they do tie the patients to the bed because of their severe hallucinations and reactions that may hurt themselves and others. However, since MC haven't been diagnosed yet, and it's purely their assumptions that he is schizophrenic, I felt that what they did was illegal and unprofessional, especially to the Psychiatrist's and the nurses' part. I think they have some ethics, rules and regulations to follow, like any other medical practitioners, and what they did was against it. Idk, it's the whole "tying him down for diagnosis because I'm worried" ordeal that made me super pissed off. Like, okay. You're worried, good to know but, Where's the respect
ofc the whole ordeal is very scary for the victim. no question abt that. there's also arguments to be made that doctors and nurses shouldnt be allowed to restrain patients like that. imo restraints are a last option thing, they shouldn't have tried to restrain him in the beginning. he wasnt even acting hostile or threatening himself...
I get it. It does feel weird when the person who's avidly chasing you suddenly becomes indifferent to you. The ML's reaction was a normal reaction, tbh. BUT why would he make the MC go through a check-up/diagnosis unwillingly?
Is he addicted to having someone who chases him? He's actually the weird one rn LOL
