During a group therapy session in a hospital, an abused woman started talking about killing her husband. We all joined in with plans. The nurses in charge of the group sent us all to our rooms. To rebel we went to the TV room and watched all the videos that were labeled "Only to be viewed with psychiatrist's consent".

The first time I was hospitalized I had agreed to spend the weekend. I was agitated and walked the halls. I saw a large whiteboard with "discharge meeting" listed every other Wednesday and the first meeting was two weeks away. I immediately call my mom to take me out of the hospital. After she arrived the pdoc and nurse came in and explained that at the meetings they reviewed the charts of people who had already left... however, they never used it again until the last day I was there.
