Facts:

A homeless man entered the hospital with chronic gangrene, osteomyelitis, and diabetes. Doctors could tell that he had a psychiatric condition, but the patient refused to have interventions of any kind; he didn't allow doctors to treat him with medication or submit to a psychiatric evaluation. He claimed to want simply to be fed, given his insulin, and given a bed. He was also difficult with the nurses, throwing urine at them and making them generally uncomfortable. Doctors tried to coax him into accepting intravenous antibiotics, but he refused. The choice: send him back to the street, a possible violation of the "First do no harm" oath, or seek a court order declaring the man incapable of making decisions for himself, essentially forcing him into the doctors' care.
