They took me from icu where I had been strapped in bed for three days to the psych ward and I was so terrified I tried to leave so they shot me up with Thorazine, I passed out( when I came to [strapped in a bed again]the doctor asked if I had fainted on purpose! I was under 100lbs hadn’t eaten for over a week, been in icu three days and was scared to death and he thought fainting was a choice?) then for the next three or four days I had a head tremor. All I knew about psych ward s was from the movie One Flew Over the Cookoo’s Nest. The first thing I saw was two people doing the Thorazine shuffle with vacant eyes.
