Have worked in psych hospitals for 20+ years and,naturally,have hd the damndest things said to me by profoundly schizophrenic patients.
But the one that is forever etched in my brain was the following:
It's 1983 and I'm working at a State hospital in California on a lockdown psych unit.It's 7 A.M. and I'm rolling onto the unit with a massive hangover.
A male patient darts suddenly in front of me and,in a totally deadpan tone of voice,recites the last line of the "Gumby" theme song "..if you've got a heart then Gumby's a part of you."while staring intently into my eyes.
Then,just as suddenly,he walked away.
I could literally feel the neurons in my brain melt.
