I’d forgotten how uncomfortable MRIs are. My poor young doctor had to put in a cannula first and I bled all down my arm and over the pillow. She was very embarrassed, didn’t worry me. Anyway, hopefully they found my brain, and my pituitary, and it’s all in, more or less, working order. 🤪🧠

"Life in the ward was never easy. It was heartbreaking to see so many people in extreme distress every day. The doors kept swinging open to admit yet another terrified—and usually young—patient." - Dan White, who has received psychiatric inpatient treatment twice in his life.
His story was shared in "'I Know What John Fetterman's Going Through, I Was a Psychiatric Inpatient'", Newsweek, My Turn, Feb. 21, 2023
