Okay a bit of background. I'm a nurse on a psychiatric ward in my local hospital. So I got there a bit early for my 9 hr shift today and began to get the info on my patients. The report from the evening nurse stated that one of my patients had "a delusion in which he believed he was a character on a television show." At face value this was my most interesting patient to begin with. So I go in and introduce myself. "Hi I'm Dan and I'll be your nurse for this evening." After a glare of dissaproval he held out his hand and introduced himself, "My name is Malcom Reynolds now could you please tell me why in the hell I'm here and more importantly why I can't leave? I got work needs to be done." It took everything in me for my mouth not to drop open or squeal in delight. I mean obviously this is a sickness, but if you have one c'mon BELIEVING you're Mal...I can think of worse things to have. Having learned what actually brought him in from the report, I explained to him that he was there because he attemped to steal- wait for it- a cow from his neighbor's yard and then prodceeded to shoot at him when he got caught. His response to me was "I was simply taking my due I paid him right fair and he welched on the deal. Does that sound right to you?" I gotta admit I was impressed thus far I even excused the obvious misquotation. "still Mr. Reynolds (bit of joy in my heart to be able to say that) what you did was illegal and that's why you're here." "Something smells like (I don't know exacly what the next word was in chinese but I took it to mean shit) around here. Why am I in a hospital instead of a prison cell?" After another hard look at me and then around at the room he said "what are you planning to do to me?" At this point I did something stupid and glanced at the blue gloves on the rack completely out of instinct, and quickly responded. "you're a bit mixed up right now we're gonna do our best to set you right and send you on your way." he obviously caught me looking at the gloves and said, "I see anyone with these on (he grabbed one from the wall and threw it at my face)...and you'll have a dead body on your hands...and it won't be mine." At that point I made a mental note to make sure to pass along the message to the other staff to avoid blue gloves if at all possible. Okay there is so much more to say about the rest of my shift and I had to at least tell this much before hitting the hay but my eyes are literally falling as I type so I suppose the rest will have to wait until tomorrow.

You did remember to call him "Sir", right?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Seriously, I do hope you all can help him.
He is a Browncoat after all...

And if you don't call him "Sir" don't make Badger's mistake and call him "Sergeant". Call him "Captain".
Oh and check in the corner for Zoe, she may shoot you...politely.

(You actually mean 'HIPAA' , doncha ?)
Someone better run tell Lawman...
...NOT !
There's anonymity aplenty in that post...I could stand to hear a little more...
Wonder if that Mal-contented fella " flashed his arse at the gorramned law " ?
Actually , I feel great about the fact that di-di at least picked the right Television Show about which to have his delusional episodes...Heck and Shoot , most of Us have done that...
'Course , Firefly is more A LEGEND than a TV show...You might oughta enter that in the 'notes'...
One more thing...Wonder what the neighbor was doing with a cow in his YARD ? Maybe he should be the one inside the secure Alliance facility...

poor guy...
and yeah, avoid the blue gloves because clearly this guy lacks the perspective of appreciating that you obviously have heard of Firefly/Serenity.
Maybe you can even make a note in his chart so that his doctor will know who, exactly, this character is ....
good luck with this one!

Be glad he didn't think he was the assasin in Serenity and that he didn't ask you to fall on your sword.
