         Persons suffering from mental diseases may be admitted to the
      state psychiatric hospital as voluntary public patients as follows:

      in the state of Iowa may file information with the board of
      supervisors of the person's county of residence or the board's
      designee, stating that the physician has examined the person and
      finds that the person is suffering from some abnormal mental
      condition that can probably be remedied by observation, treatment,
      and hospital care; that the physician believes it would be
      appropriate for the person to enter the state psychiatric hospital
      for that purpose and that the person is willing to do so; and that
