Point of interest-The hospital where WN was transported yesterday was Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital. It was the nearest hospital. This facility is a 16 (yes, sixteen) bed med-surg hospital.
It's funny how we (I) assume things. When they reported he'd been transported to a hospital, I pictured a huge facility with a psych ward and plenty of forensically trained psychiatrists/nurses on board who would evaluate and treat him, stabilizing him with appropriate meds. I suppose this small facility still would've consulted or called in a psych, though--no offense to tiny hospitals. It's just that I envisioned him getting some really in-depth evaluation and a med regimen that would equalize him. I failed to take into account that maybe he was hospitalized for merely a physical ailment of some sort.
