But sometimes, like in prisons, the inmates can also add to the abuse.
Concentration of people with mental problems in one place for a number of thousand or more
brings nothing good, as it causes hospitalism (especially now that patients are locked on wards,
without exit to the hospital yard, allegedly because of COVID).
I recall being inside, and I had to adapt to the hospital, but I've lost the means to live outside,
in the real world.
Today I've just been to some visit to a guy I know who is there on "long term healing".
He is there for several years by now, and he did not seem to benefit from the "treatment".
Probably the staff will blame his worsening of symptoms "on the basic illness", like everything
else, but I don't believe that isolation and abuse helped him (though he did not complain, I am
speaking from personal account).
Also, the hospital food is criminally bad (potates and pasta without fruit or fresh vegetables).
I recall having my gums full of puss while I was on closed ward. As soon as I got the exit to
the yard and I was able to buy some fresh fruits, my gums stopped swelling and rankling.
Of course, the staff will deny this, as "food is according to the norm"; and they might add
something about poor situation is the State health system. But four pounds of apples aren't
a fortune, less than a pack of cigarettes, so in theory a ward could be satisfied with vitamin
C at the expense of one pack of cheapest cigarettes.
