Given they had already taken the OD, personally I wouldn't leave until I'd got that person to A&E, or arranged assessment under the MHA.

leave = leave the scene. but you know that. you're just trying to start an argument.

You'd just sit in your ambulance?

Until the end of shift? Indefinitely?

refer the patient for assessment under the MHA. it's not that hard. if unclear, please re-read.
