Mental America: 72 Hours With An Emergency Room Crisis Counselor

WARNING: THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU! A complete Psychotic Meltdown that sends you to the emergency room can happen to anyone at any time! The numbers are growing! Get ready for a meltdown! Mental America is a true account of the madness experienced by an Emergency Room Crisis Counselor. The job description was to interview homicidal and suicidal patients in a busy county hospital, then transfer them to a lock-down psychiatric hospital. A memoir, condensed into a 72-hour Labor Day Weekend, Mental America weaves together the blood, sweat, and tears encountered in the emergency room, as well as a touching human element that persists throughout the book - back at the condo, Leroy is visiting for the weekend and making a mess of everything!
