My 17-year-old daughter accidentally took more Tylenol than recommended to relieve a headache, leading to her being transferred to an ICU 3 hours away from home. She has since been medically cleared but is being held for a psychological evaluation despite no history of self-harm or disciplinary issues. I want her transferred back to a local facility for follow-up care, but the hospital is unwilling to do so and wants to restart the 72-hour evaluation period. What are my rights and options in this situation?
