5 years ago i had to go to regular hospital because i lost speech and had constant convulsions, on and off if that makes sense for 1 month while there.

i was unable to read the paper they got me to sign when i first went. now i remember at the top it said something about "psychiatric disclaimer" something about i would only be allowed to stay if i signed to say i wouldn't hurt myself and a lot of other stuff.. the nurse said something like.. its just so we know you are safe, and won't hurt yourself. basically saying anyone with trouble talking had to sign it.. no big deal.. like 1 in every 3 people do.. just make it quick kind of thing.

it wasn't that, once signed, everything that happened to me, was seen as part of mental illness, because each new person on the ward would simply read on the computer "temporary psychiatric patient", and would treat me and everuything i did with that view.

i had a severe allergy to something which caused me to be in that state. once i left, i went to a farm, for 9 months with a family who literally took me away to avoid the views of the docs. 9 months later, i spoke and walked perfectly.

today i am unable to go to the local hospital to get the pain meds i need, because when they print out and hand it to the doc on the ward, it will read "psych patient".. it should read "allergy patient, rare neurological reaction to "x""

they are much more mentally disabled than i am.

and i am more confused them them.

they are scary, and anyone in their care should be very afraid.
