Stuck in the secure ward? do not approach the 6 foot 2 man who cross dresses (not transexual) and tell them that their lipstick is smudged and they should run a brush through their hair. On a bad day they will not take kindly to your advice and start throwing chairs at you in the dining room. And they hurt, even if they are plastic. If you are lucky to be in the secure unit, it is likely that you will start throwing chairs back (more out of hurt feelings because you genuinely wanted to help the man) and ending up in an all out brawl. NOT good for involuntary patients.
