You must live in an area with higher than normal mental health issues. I’ve been to ER countless times in my life, both as a patient and not, and it’s mostly just people with cuts, broken bones, something stuck in them, etc. In fact in all my time in the ER, I can’t recall ever having seen someone having a breakdown, or freakout, or w/e you want to call it.
well normally with mental patients you just sedate them massively until they stroke out. especially if they are aggressive, punching, hitting, biting, gouging-- the ones with martial arts training are the worst and they can seriously kill with just a pencil. ER is crazy times nowadays.
