Thank you, I'll look at it.
Amazing thought: I was treated so disdainfully the time I was in a psych ward. This past spring I went to a different hospital with a kidney infection. They didn't know anything about the previous psychiatric hospitalization. Though they too were understaffed, etc- all heard was "Are you all right honey? Is your roomate alright? Staff alright? Be sure to let us know if you have any comments or needs. Can we do anything else for you? So sorry you are suffering. Can we do anything else tomake you more comfortable? Maybe you'd like to see the desert menu, or a tv guide? Anything to read? Oh, you do some neat things at your job." etc. AND they explained everything. So different!!!
