twice in one episode. 6 days in, 6 days home, 6 days back in...like others, there were at least a couple of times I should have gone, the first time I didn't use the magic S word and they didn't admit me...the second time my drs were able to see me several times a week outpatient for the two weeks it took my meds to kick in. I had supervision at home as well that time too.
