Violent threats were part of the everyday job at the Mental Hospital.
One of the patients Karl was a hulk of a man and could snap my neck like a twig if he wanted to. I asked Karl one day how he was going.He responded “ Sometimes voices tell me to kill a nurse.’”
I responded “ Are they talking to u now.”
But their is some light .Another patient Anthony always threatened to kill me if he saw me on the outside.Many yrs later i saw him in the CBD.
Luckily he was no longer insane and a threat, but instead thanked me for helping him .But for a few secs i admit i PMS and thinking he we go again .
