I'm sure she did, because the night nurse slammed the office door shut as soon as the evening nurse had left. It's the same night nurse who picked a fight with me a few days ago when I told her that "It's part of his illness to open people's windows from the outside; that might be difficult for you to accept" was an unacceptable answer to my concerns about a male patient who had harassed me several times and who finally opened the window to my room.
The window doesn't open very far; nobody would be able to get into my room from the outside, through the window. I realized that after the incident had happened. That doesn't mean that the incident wasn't disturbing or that all the harassment by that and other patients wasn't severe or that several of the staff aren't in denial and being horrible to me about those incidents.
Their hateful behavior is jeopardizing my ability to be at this unit. I'm sure it is; after the incidents earlier this week, the manager of the program told me that she had scheduled a meeting for me on the 23rd with another supervisor, to talk to me about my "problems finding housing."
I don't think that the patients who are allowed to drift from one month to the next at this crisis unit and who spend their time watching television, smoking and harassing me, are asked to attend meetings with off-unit supervisors to be interrogated about why they haven't found housing.
