My 3 admissions ( voluntary) in 2011 were very interesting and often scarey depending on the type of other patients I had to share the wing with.
As far as staff goes All but one nurse was fabulous and helped me . the mental health techs all but 1 were also fabulous and one in Particular "john" helped me a great deal with trying to control my Fibromyalgia pain... He was very much into " natural healing and healthy food All my doctors just want to toss pills at me for fibro pain not figure out other ways to treat it... so John took most of his lunch and breaks talking to me and helping me figure out how I can make a differance . If I could afford to eat the right food im certain my pain would decrease.

I read your post and found alot of it amusing but I also feel bad for people that are so messed up they dont really understand where they are or whats happening to them .. I guess I would just hate to be that bad off ...I have worked in healthcare all my life and maybe its that moral code drilled into my head I couldnt pick on anyone or cause anyone additional stress.
