If you've ever been to jail, it is like that. The food is food, all food is good if you are hungry enough. It is cold there. You are treated like an untrustworthy invalid. I have never benefited from going. Although, I did not have a choice lol. I did like the other people there, so interesting and unusual! There is good and bad in all places but its just like any other hospital in the sense that you are not well and you need help, so of course it won't be a bed of roses. Ask an ICU patient in the best hospital in the world what it is like and you will find similar answers. Unpleasant, yet necessary perhaps, also inevitable sometimes. Don't go there unless you have to I suppose. It does feel pretty safe there, at least it did for me. I was away from the 'real world' etc. and in an environment that allowed me to come to my senses in some respects, meanwhile I would never have agreed to go on my own at times. Que sera, sera.
