Apart from the spelling this was a rather enjoyable piece. It
gave me some rather nasty flashbacks, though. I have certainly
worked with hospital staff, stupid enough to commit crimes against
intelligence like noting the code for the security door above the
lock. I thank the heavens that I only ever helped out on the
psychiatric station next door a few times, and only saw the closed
station from the inside three times.
Those three times left a strong impression, though...
"The sausages! The flying sausages! Can't you see them?"
"Yeah, sure, I see 'em all the time. Taste good, too."
"They do not!"
"Right you are. Whatever you say."
Oh, and I saw a *large* woman (2 meters) approach a nurse and say:
"Aaaaaeeeeiooourrrggraaaaaahh?"
whereupon the nurse answered:
"Yes,�but not before dinner is served."
"Iiiiieoooouuuuaaaarrrrgh!"
"Oh, I'm sure we still have some in the storeroom. Let's go find
you a pair."
This abpve everything else told me that I would never work in a
psychiatric station, lest I begin to undestand such conversations.
I just wanted you to know that I feel your pain. :)
