Whirlpools - good summary there. From memory of what a mental health nurse friend said years ago, the sections under which nurses alone can hold you last 6 hours.
I was detained under section 136 once. Didn't get as far as the hospital, but a doctor of some sort came and saw me in my cell. Police gave me a lift home afterwards. Have to say they were nice about it, even those who were clearly out of their depth and their comfort zone dealing with even minor mental health problems.
