On the comic news website I read they have been doing a series of "things you didn't know about...." which is written by one of their writers with the help of an expert. Recently they did one about mental hospitals. The whole thing made me shake my head, saying hospitals aren't like in the movies. One of the sections was about how they don't use restraints any more, "unless people are violent." Also fun ones like "everyone knows they have to be there and why." I got so riled up I had to leave a comment that you can't write an article like that unless you've been in every hospital because everyone's experience is different. And just because this is what you experienced in the hospital, or this is how your hospital runs things, doesn't mean it's the same all across the country, that for people with MI the goal is to stay out of the hospital, because it's not a fun place to be.

I've never been in the hospital, but I pay attention to what everyone here tells me. And that article just made me feel like this person had no idea what they were talking about...
