Imh. yep. preety obvious i thought.
TO think the taxi uncle actually asked if i was talking about the one at SGH! When i clarified that it was woodbridge. He was like " are you ok?"
ha. but that's what we always associate imh with right? mad, insane, crazy people. We joke about it, laugh about it and even claim to live there.
When i got there, it was a different story altogether. People there(seeking outpatient treatment) looked so normal, i wouldn't even cast them a second look had i not seen them there!
Later, as the social worker was about to bring us to visit the in-patients, Jess and i looked at each other with apprehension. I didn't know what to expect until jEss started telling me about the 'horror' stories she had heard from the other coursemates. Needless to say, we freaked out.
Still, we had to do our assignment.
With a deep breath,
Jess and i went to the ward with the social worker, the patients there scrutinised us as they would with new sightings. Their gaze followed us whenever we go.
There were about 30plus of them in the ward, some watching tv, some roaming ard, a few lying on the floor. It was a much more controlled scene than i expected. No shouting, no screaming, no violence whatsover.
As we observed them, found most of them in a world of their own. find them quite pitiful.
They are not mad
They just can't seem to find themselves in a world which has no place and time for them.
