It is the horrors going on within low to medium secure units that need highlighting, not the fact that some people have the guts to successfully escape.<BR/><BR/>A doctor friend of mine was describing a scene at his hospital where a woman was found crouching by a car park bleeding. He felt dutybound to deliver basic first aid (put a thumb over the cut) until a MH nurse arrived. He described the incident as "One of your inmates has escaped". I questioned our friendship for sometime after that, but did pick him up on it and he apologised.seahorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006649663400552591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-41113884281251865962008-09-17T13:50:00.000+01:002008-09-17T13:50:00.000+01:00I get 'best of today' from the Today Programme via...I get 'best of today' from the Today Programme via BBC America. <BR/><BR/>I forget the name of the chap they interviewed [as they couldn't get any of the big wigs to co-operate] but although his message was crystal clear to me, the interviewer kept on the tack of 'safety of the general public.'<BR/><BR/>So yes, that was me, yesterday, shouting at the interviewer as I walked down the street in public with my i-pod!<BR/>CheersMaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828186178060722812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-6530618546472310012008-09-17T02:25:00.000+01:002008-09-17T02:25:00.000+01:00Sorry to hear about the bots- nasty !

It's what is unknown that gets you and denial not illness. I also heard some bad stuff re: Canada's policies in MI as well. When times get tough the politics gets to red herrings away from the economy! Thanks for stopping by!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
