There's something medieval about it... <br /><br />I must admit I find those conversations fascinating, too. I had to accompany a guy to a secure unit once who spent the journey talking to the imp who was crouched just above him over the trolley. It creeps me out, just like when our eldest daughter sometimes get night terrors and has conversations with invisible people. It's all at the very edge of reality - a shadowy place where these visions take on a very real solidity. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-23571787169452817962009-08-17T11:51:50.518+00:002009-08-17T11:51:50.518+00:00I used to work in an inpatient, lockdown, psyche w...I used to work in an inpatient, lockdown, psyche ward here in the states.

He def had the portentous tone. A very scary individual (who owns a samurai sword). <br /><br />charles - It's difficult to know what to say in the back of the ambulance, listening to what he had to say, and trying to sound (and behave) as neutrally as possible. I almost misjudged it at one point. I asked him if Pam lived in the same block as him. He said: 'What do you want? A fucking diagram? Do you want a plan of the building? Entrances and Exits? Why are you so interested?' etc. It took a good deal of back-pedalling to get out of that one!<br /><br />wren - It is very scary, and def not the kind of person you want stalking you in your dreams. <br /><br />I hope he gets the help he needs, too. Sectioning him was an unpleasant but necessary first step.<br /><br />jacqui - I felt sorry for the A&E staff. They had to have him in the dept for a few hours, monitoring for head injury complications. And I felt for the police, too, who had to sit with him all that time. I must admit, that particular night, A&E seemed more like Bedlam than ever. <br /><br />lulu's missives - I think I've been harsh but descriptive with so many patients it's time I turned the unflattering light on myself. So i think on the next post I'll give up a description of myself... see how I fare...<br /><br />Thanks for all your comments!

He'd certainly look at home in the catacombs wearing a cloak. <br /><br />PH - He definitely put us on edge. It was incredible how many times he referred to poor Pam Penistone.
