I did not want to lie face-down on the bare mattress that they have in the "Quiet Room" at Bayridge Hospital, in front of all the staff people who were crowded into that room to watch me get injections in my butt.
That's what happened, though. What could I have done, tried to fight them off? If I had wanted people holding down my arms and legs and smushing my face into the mattress, or putting me into restraints and leaving me in restraints for who knows how long after I got the shots, I could have tried to fight them off.
It was the first time that I had ever gotten shots, but there are some things that you know not to do, after more than 20 years of hospitalizations.
