A: A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your injury. In such a setting, the hospital could raise the issue that based on its observations, it saw no lawful grounds to detain a patient. One option you have is to reach out to attorneys to discuss the matter in greater detail, based on your medical records. Good luck
