My dad was in the hospital
there was a young man in the bed across from him. He seemed odd, and after a day or two he was released. That afternoon he came back, sure he was still sick, jumped up on my dad's bed and went through the window.

He did not bring his medication from home with him, so he didn't get it. They decided he was not sick, only crazy. When i suggested he should have been given his medication, the nice nurse said, oh we couldn't force him to take his medication, he has his rights. One wonders what conferred on the insane the right to splatter their brains all over the driveway, and how sane the man who made the decision was.
