Hunni, no one will be waiting for the opportunity to ‘lock you up’, not least because they just don’t have the beds available to section people except as an absolute, last, last, last resort. Also, it’s not about locking people up, it’s about getting someone into hospital so they can have access to the acute care they need.

Saying that, sweetheart you really need to see your doctor again urgently - please call and get an appointment today.
