The first thing the doctors
at the asylum did was to put Richard on a heavy diet of anti psychotic drugs. The
effect on Richard was horrific. He was
agonized, yet he could not speak. He was
“jumping out of his skin” in a terrible manner that the other patients found
very disturbing. The doctors treating
him and all of the nurses did not care in the least, and the more pain he felt
was better for him according to them, it was what he deserved they said. Richard’s room in the madhouse was fashioned
with but a thin, springy mattress. His
roommate was a silent lunatic who uttered not a word.
