JRoss, a search through Big Ed's posts will get you some stories from the inside.

Best of luck Kim, hang in there!  It sounds like things are getting better for you!

The stories I tell have been sanitized somewhat.  Although a number of them have made the papers names and all..  HIPPA is a big reason I don't share more.  Trust me I'd like to share more of the stuff thats happened to me over the last 30 years.  HIPPA and the desire to not make people vomit.  Some of the really good ones are also the grossest you've ever heard.

Now you've just piqued my curiosity, Ed!  How gross is gross?

a long time ago lets see we had a pt sent from the police dept. this pt had his neice bring in meds now this was a nursing home but the pt was only in his late 30's 6-3 189 pounds why we had him i don't know. the pt dropped 50 Percodan it took six of us and two nurses to hold him down till the police got there. one nurse got three stiches and he did around 5 grand of damage. i lost my front teeth to an elderly resident with dementia. lately at work we had a dementia pt stab an aide. you dont have to be in a mental hospital to get hurt or witness  dangerous  behavior.

Picture a human eating things never meant to be ingested,only expelled.  That and some stories that involve copious amounts of waste matter. I myself get queasy remembering them.

He was like that after 50 Percodan?  Imagine trying to deal with him straight!  I guess that high an overdose could kill the man, otherwise, I'd think you would wait until the narcotics knocked him out, and then hauled him off to trauma!

Now, who has the pleasure of ingesting?  As an avid voter, I'm assuming it's ME!  From all sides too.

This is my story also.  I was admitted to a ward for depression.   I was going to be there about a week.  Two to three days after I had been admitted they admitted this man.  He obviously was in need of more serious help than the depression ward.  I was standing at the end of the hall with a day area room behind me.  I could see to the other end of the hall.  In the middle of the hallway was the nurses station and the door where they brought new admissions.  The door opened and this man was brought in.  This area had glass windows and a glass window in the door.  The man very, very quickly knocked the glass out of the door, grabbed a piece of glass and stabbed the guard that accompanied him in the eye and throat with the glass.  Blood was instantly everywhere.  Nurses were running trying to help.  Another patient got in the middle of it and got his arm cut.  A nurse got her arm cut.  The guard required seven hours of surgery.  He did make it though.  I have never seen so much blood in my life.  The man was sedated and moved to a more violent ward. I have also never gone back to a hospital for treatment of my depression.  I hardly ever speak of this any more.  It brings back some pretty vivid images that I don't care to think about.  When it first happened I talked about it a lot.  I just needed to get it out and process it back then.  Now it is in the past.  I can talk about it but I don't like to do it often.  So there you have my worse experience.
