On a recent shift, I received sign-out for Room 20, a 46 year old man with a history of schizophrenia as well as alcohol and cannabis abuse. He came to us from a nursing home where he lives. He accidentally set his room on fire with a cigarette, prompting the nursing home to kick him out for being a risk to the facility. Although he had no acute medical issues, he was sent to the emergency department so “the health care system” could find him a new home.

This is a long one! 83 minutes. This is the second podcast in which we answer questions from a our “ask us anything” post. We recorded this one before our most recent podcast — kind of like Abbey Road and Let it Be — so we were still graced by Vinay’s presence. In fact, we recorded it in his studio. We still have about a half dozen questions to answer; we will cover those on an upcoming podcast.
