Runaround Sue

In NY I had this hospital I went to frequently. It was very nice. One time I had an episode, ended up in the ER, and by the time I was medically cleared, there were no beds at the nice place. So I got sent somewhere else. Well, they sent me to a MICA (mentally ill, chemically addicted) ward. I don't know if it was because that was the only bed or they thought I needed it because I took pills with alcohol. Now, there is nothing wrong with being chemically addicted. It's just not my problem. And normally hospitals mix these people, which is fine. But being on a ward for this specifically in an urban area was a little, shall I say, advanced. One night I was sitting there coloring when two patients started threatening to kill each other. Frightened, I continue to color and stay out of things. While I was sitting there, two other patients started talking. One said, "I know her. She gives $10 blow jobs behind Stewart's for crack." Ok, then...
