I get your point. My point is, without knowing what "there" is for you, how can anyone know if you are "there" or not? The fact you "spent six months walking around" before any action was taken makes me believe it was not obvious that you weren't "there". You were arrested and jailed yet no one during that process was able to notice your weren't "there".

I also understand that this was a terrible ordeal with lasting effects but not sure how the MDs who originally treated you would have known or should have known.
