( what month is it, what day, who is the governor) then i was sent home. had to return by choice because my meds were wrong and i knew i wasn't right. before i was on the unit, doc said i might need shock. and sure enough, they gave me shock. i wasn't agreeing to it willingly. after two treatments, which turned out horrible, they sent me to another hospital. i say all of this to say, good luck to all of us who have to go through this. and try to watch out for yourself as much as possible. cin1
