Yesterday, a young, black, male patient was admitted to the unit. When I went into the kitchen/living room, he coughed loudly at me. Then he called someone with his cell phone and started insulting and threatening the person at the other end of the phone conversation. One of the things he said was "I'm going to go to your house, beat you up and take your girlfriend."
I think that young man is probably going to harass me until he leaves the unit.
It's unfortunate that his life hasn't had enough health and stability. He seems to be a totally confused teenager who walks around mimicking every bad stereotype of male and black behavior promoted by the entertainment industry and general racism, so that he doesn't feel insecure about having no authentic, workable sense of personal identity.
I am not against the government promoting health and stability for young people. What couldn't be more obvious about President Obama is his total lack of concern for females.
