An important distinction

Officer Perky called my office to tell me about a client who was having multiple contacts with the police on account of his psychosis.

"We've been getting a lot of calls from the neigbors on account of his behavior. He's really making them nervous. The report from last week says he broke into Local Church Campground and announced to everyone that he's the Second Coming of Christ.

"However, Mr. Religious wants to correct his records and he says we were wrong when we did the initial report and he's Jesus' older brother, not Jesus' second coming. Just thought you should know."

One of the lesser-known saints

We have a new psychologist at work. As we were introducing ourselves, he asked what I did as a nurse for the mental health department.

"I arrange for medications to be delivered to our office for the clients who pick them up here. I also telephone doctor's offices to coordinate care of complex patients. There's about fifteen people who come by every week for their injections--"

Comprehension dawned in his eyes. "So you're the Risperdal lady!"

Sure, Mac. Just call me "Our Lady of Antipsychotics." You thought nuns whacking you with rulers was bad--I'll do them one better!
