Tales from the Nuthouse: Lest You Think I have a Really Suck Job

I took a call of an elopement from the State Hospital last night. "Elopement" is a nice way of saying "Security didn't notice a patient was missing."

This happens relatively infrequently, and usually doesn't involve the sort of manhunt for a dangerous maniac that you see in movies.

Usually they turn up. Sometimes a nut just really wants to wander around for a bit, have a Dunkin' Donut, or grab a quick adult beverage at a nearby watering hole.

The notice consisted of the patient's name, and a description:

"Last seen wearing a brown trench coat and black ballerina tutu."

So, I guess sometimes it really is like the movies.
