Whew, Two Temporary Detention orders in 2 hours
As yall know I am a mental health worker, part of my job is crisis assessment.

1. The first was pretty cut and dry, severe psychosis but I got him in the hospital fairly quick.

2. The second without details involved, the governer, capitol police and two FBI agents and someone with severe psychosis. Made it really interesting.

I am now tired, anyone wanna buy me a drink. How about a Corona Slinkerwink

6. Buy you a drink?
You bet. It takes a special kind of person to do what you do!

Have one on me :beer:

what the hell, it's Friday, (POITS)* have another :beer:

*In my generation POITS stood for "Piss on it. Tomorrow's Saturday!"

7. I'll buy you a drink
and have one with you. I know what you are feeling, I think. I spent five years in a mental health hospital working as a nurse. I used to wish and wish that someone would find a cure for Schizophrenia.

10. Aw thanks
When I got back to the work desk and posted and nobody reaaly responded, well you know me, i got all codependent and went home.


The second TDO was neat. Its like in that case I go into a scene and TAKE CONTROL, over fbi, guvner, police, and ask Whats up?

Not bad for a social worker.

BTW- A TDO puts a person in the hospital not jail. It is for psychiatric observation.

Again- Not bad for someone who either should be in jail or dead. Due to a over zelous youth, I got smart as a Naval Corpsmen. That is why i am so defense about support for the troops.

Semper Fi

12. I gotta question.
If you deal with severe psychotics do you get desensitized and used to it? When you're in a group of people and somebody psychotic comes up and start talking do you yawn and not really pay attention, in comparison with people who don't have the experience?

16. You have thankless job. I applaud those that do it though.
I couldn't, or maybe I just wouldn't want to, but I always appreciate those that do.

It can't be easy.

Thanks!
