a dyslexic man walks into a bra

Your body is changing as you mature along with hormonal changes. Some people stay thin all their lives and for others of us the metabolism has slowed and weight gain is a problem. It seems I have waived the flag of surrender in the weight loss battle.

I can't do anything for your anorexia, but I can enable your dyslexia

Let me understand this. After performing your own procedure you consulted a physician who, and I'm inferring, reported you to the authorities who placed you in a mental health facility. One would have thought that what passed between a physician and his patient was privileged unless there was some pressing necessity for this to be broken. Plus, as you say, he complimented you on the precision with which you'd acted. Does this mean that any person opting for the "auto" mode is subject, under law, to this sort of treatment? What if you'd consulted him on the topic for a professional opinion? Or have I got this wrong?

"Or have I got this wrong?"

I went to the hospital to get patched up and they decided it would be best to keep me for mental evaluation, which seems like a reasonable idea to me and one that I was entirely expecting (though not for that long.. grr). I just went to the ER so basically I saying, "I am crazy man who carved balls out." I don't think they acted in appropriately? heh

It actually wasn't too bad at all, except for the psych was a dick and kept me in there a week longer than he was supposed to. He kept lying to me saying that my normal psych and therapist said they didn't think it was safe to release me. It was a couple days before I was released before I could reach my therapist who told me that that was complete bullshit. And I was told a couple times that I was going to be released the next day or the very same day the 1st time, but then the psych lied and said that no one ever told me that. heh.. he was rather incompetent and a bit of a jerk.

In most jurisdictions doctors are required to report crimes that come to their attention. Self-harm may be considered a crime in some areas. Also there is an obligation to prevent further harm, often this requires psych care. --FLO--

I just recently got a bill for my castration fix-up (scrotal exploration, I think they call it?). $534. I guess my Medicaid isn't going to cover it because they claim my insurance was not in effect at that time (I think? I must call and bitch about this).

Oh well. Not too bad.

You are more sane than they are because you understand reality.

But I'm still glad they were there to help stop bleeding and prevent infection.

I guess you gotta roll with their limited perceptive capacities - but never lose sight of the reality that is you. They are incomplete, but nevertheless savvy with sterile swabs.

You are an Advanced Being. But in certain circumstances, (ie cutting out one's own nuts) someone good with an ace bandage is helpful.

Take 'em with a grain of salt, thank 'em for the help ... and move on.
