Now it gets surreal. Employees are posing as patients. They're dressed in hospital gowns. One starts to roam the hallways. A nurse encourages you to come out of your room. Because the patient/employee is screaming. The employee/patient goes back to the nurses area. A nurse yells for you to go back to your room.
A nurse brings you medication. You refuse. You want to see a doctor first. She says stop refusing because you're going to be admitted involuntarily. This goes on for at least 3 more times.
A social worker comes by to see you. You tell her your story. She tells you to sign a paper, admitting yourself. She also reminds you of what the nurses have told you. That if you keep refusing; it will be an involuntary admittance.
A doctor finally comes 8 hours later. You tell him of your stalking neighbor and that you're afraid of being harmed. You tell him the story of your bizarre accident. He has a few other attending doctors with him. He doesn't believe you.
He tells you he's observed footage of you leaving your room. Roaming the hallways.
And he must admit you. You take the medication. It feels like a horse tranquilizer. Your brain is numb.
Your "Lurking Cousin" calls you. You don't fully remember the conversation.
