My wife used to work in intake in a psych hospital, BTW. Lots of fun tales about the "oh shit, come a-runnin'" calls in the wards. She was lucky. Only had to dodge a chair once and a pool cue once. She can *still* take me down in about .5.

Very cool. I don't meet/hear of a lot of other people that work intake. It's definitely a very different kind of job, getting to deal with the patients coming in fresh off the street. One of these days I'm going to get around to writing down all of the good stories and seeing if it's publishable. I've seen a lot of "funny things that happened in the ER books, but there aren't any about psych hospitals.
I haven't had to use my considerable "nonviolent crisis intervention" skills on my boyfriend. The knowledge that I can kick his ass keeps him in line
... I'm still on no patient contact restrictions from my injury. I should be back in the game come February, though.
