Seems like I'm not the only one that's witnessed bullying in a psychiatric unit. It annoys me slightly that anyone would find humour in bullying; humiliating and/or intimidating patients in a hospital. People go to those places when they're having a really, REALLY tough time. The last thing they need is to have their place of safety turned into a school playground.

However, I do agree that inpatient CAN be fun. I remember flirting quite a lot with one of my fellow patients...and we got a bit of a buzz from breaking hospital rules on a daily basis. During one admission, I actually formed a strong friendship with a staff member, and I'd steal his keys off of him and his ID card and threaten to escape and I'd wave them in front of him...and he actually laughed with me.
