When I got into a hospital with Lithium intoxication earlier this year, it was my first inpatient on a medical, non-psych unit, not counting the time I was unconscious on a ventilator following the sui attempt. I was so surprised! No one pulled out my shoelaces, no one checked the contents of my purse, no one demanded that I surrender my cell phone!! It was like WOW, I am being respected here!!
