There was not a single board certified psychiatrist working the wards at Downey. Building 66 where I worked was staffed by a retired internist.<br /><br />Sad, but there are no ice bucket challenges or Jerry's kids for schizophrenics.<br /><br />Thanks for reading my foolishness and your comment.Oldfoolrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747485143127099085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723755846699098373.post-5404253919943164192017-11-03T06:27:38.479-07:002017-11-03T06:27:38.479-07:00Trying is something to be proud of.
