(Pete) It doesn't mean he stabbed him.
(Chaya) No, but maybe the delusions were triggered by the attack, not the other way around.
(Eliza) Do you think he'll be compliant with treatment and transfer?
(Chaya) We can't section him unless he's lost the capacity to reason and is a risk to himself or others.
And he's definitely never hurt anyone.

(Pete) I don't want to find that out at 20,000 feet.
Again.
The repercussions of being sectioned are huge.
