Another day... Another e-mail.

Hi (Client & Family Relations Team Manager) and (Unit Manager),

I was so optimistic in my interactions with (the nurse that was shouting at me yesterday) the nurse this morning. She was taking my medical concerns so seriously. She, and (name), came to the bathroom to investigate the wound on my scrotal sac because the wound was sore, looked inflamed, and I was worried I might get fecal matter or urine in the wound if not dealt with appropriately since the patients on this unit frequently leave fecal matter and urine on the toilet seats. (I held my penis and testicles out of the way as best I could because I didn't want them to have to stare at them. They tried to assure me that they were nurses and had seen everything.) They assured me that Dr. Shaw, the medical doctor, would properly tend to my wound without using pharmakeia.

I was quite happy in how things played out. I even told Sara it felt like there was less tension between us.

Then Sara told me that since (name), the unit manager, had instructed that I avoid another patient, that I could no longer sit in a specific region of the unit I am restricted to. I told her I would respect that patients boundaries (and even go as far as to only use their name when referring to them) but would not comply unless this was in accordance with hospital policy.

I told her that theoretically this patient could walk me into a corner, and I had already had this experience on mood and crisis with another patient (who was harassing me) and another patient on this unit (who had verbally threatened to kill me twice). Wherever those patients went, I was told I had to avoid.

The patient would occupy a space, then I would be instructed to leave that space. Then they would occupy a new space, until I was restricted to the section of the unit my room was in.

This doesn't seem ethical.

Hopefully (the unit manager) and (Client & Family Relations Team Manager) with check with the hospital policy and provide an adequate solution to this particular problem. I was under the impression when (the unit manager), the nurse (name) (who attempts to gaslight me frequently and has thrown up a 666 hand gesture a handful of times), myself and the patient in question sat down, the issue had already been resolved: We would just not interact with one another. I would do my very best to avoid using the pronoun he or him and only use their name, and if the hospital agreed in the future, that patient (who is a vocal proponent of Satan - and despite being brought up at the meeting this was not addressed) could respectfully ask me for a game of chess, should we both agree to not speak with one another, in the spirit of peacemaking. (The war isn't against flesh and blood and I am no better than (name)).

Strange things happen here at The Royal, every single day.

I can't wait to be discharged. One way, or the other.

Regards,
