Spears To Stay In Hospital
Britney Spears got her stay in a psychiatric ward extended further as doctors decided to keep her hospitalized an additional 14 days. Spears was to be released from UCLA Medical Center's psychiatric hospital, but doctors and a medical officer at the ward determined that she should remain, said the spokesman. Spears was committed for a 72-hour hold for evaluation. Paramedics, flanked by a police escort of about a dozen officers on motorcycles, in cars and a helicopter, took Spears from her home to the psychiatric hospital before dawn. To extend her stay, hospital staff members cited a section in the state law that allows patients to be retained for medical treatment if they are found to be gravely disabled or a danger to themselves or others.
