PleaseHelp, Thanks for encouragement. Yes, I would need to go to the hospital where I worked. (I have no health insurance. So I have to go to the public hospital, where I am on an indigent plan.) I notice you say that the best hospitalization was the one you, yourself, wanted. The patient's attitude toward being in the hospital could affect how much good it does. Glad to hear it helped you.

melissa.recovering, Thank you for responding while you, yourself, are going through being in the hospital. It means a lot to hear from someone who is in there and not hating it. Somehow, I think Canada might have somethings better organized than we do down here in the states. It sounds like you are being treated exceptionally well. Our healthcare, especially for low-income persons in a public facility, probably does not compare favorably to what is available to you. (there would be no therapists) As an out-patient, I have not even gotten a thorough evaluation. I only see the doctor every 45 days. It must be really nice to have found friends among your peers. That would mean a lot to me. Many long years ago, I was in-patient and the place was terrible, but some other patients were very kind to me. (That was the same hospital I'll go to now. They claim the place has overcome its well-known "dark history." Maybe.
