oh yeah I did not make the connection that MrsD made, but you know my fight with sleep deprivation; LOTS of people being fed anti-psycho drugs and treated as crazy when what they needed was sleep. I mean, you end up in a ward of people all being drugged and no one believes you no matter what you say because they would not be giving you those drugs if you weren't crazy and if you complain they figure you need a higher dosage.
What we really need is a high-class opium den, genre Cairo in 1850
