On May 5th, 1996 an incident happened that haunts me to this day. It was very out of character. Now I understand why it happened. It was beyond my control. My judgement was impaired. Unfortunately it wasn't recognized at the time.
This incident occurred at the General's emergency department. I exploded and while trying to flee, I was accused of assaulting a nurse. They called an orderly code, put me in 6 point restraints and gave me an injection of CPZ. An Ottawa Police officer came and interviewed me and decided not to charge me. I never ever tried to assault a nurse when I tried to flee. I just wanted to leave.
I got a precaution code tagged on my chart for that incident.
This incident always bothered me. I'm not the type to hurt people. Now I know that I was not in a coherent state of mind and had impaired judgement. I can finally forgive myself.
