In Canada is it 48 or 72 hour hold? Do we think she'll be back on the insta today?
It's 48 hours in BC. Confirmed this during her last emergency hold; she was posting again two days later.
If I'm understanding the BC law correctly: After 48 hours the hospital can request another doctor evaluate her for a one month told. After that, another doctor evaluates and may hold her for three months, then six, then every six months until she's cleared for release.

Since there's no in between for Kelly, they'll probably either shove her out in two days because the emergency psych is understaffed or keep her for the next five years.
