Mental Hospital Visits in Russia and the People You Meet There.
And so I knew it was coming. My 1st of 5 unwanted mental hospital visit. Truth be told they were all unwanted. 30ish days on average and that is if you sign up for willing evaluation. Triple that to a sweet 90 by making a judge send you for evaluation. I've met men who've been there for 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 6 years. I learned, got a taste of what it meant to be institutionalized. Took me back to my Navy days a wee bit. Pajamas all day. Fresh pair given out in a weekend's time after our 1 in 7 day shower. A huge difference in the mental hospital and the US Navy is the Russian mental hospital has little to offer for entertainment. I was lucky enough to find a 725 page follow up to a Swedish crime novel about a girl with dragon tattoos in English that took 4 days to read. Lights on at 6 a.m. Inspection before breakfast at 9:30. I wake up fast, make my bed and get ready for my first legal narcotic of the day....
