mental health, psychosis, hallucinations "no doctor will ever get my respect like the woman in the ER who checked me for claws and fangs because i told her i was turning into a werewolf [...] when someone is in a confused or compromised state, no matter why, and they are in your medical charge, it is vital to continue to treat them with dignity. [...] when dealing with delusions you need to avoid extremes - do not tell the person flat out "you're wrong", "thats not real" or worst of all "you're crazy" but dont encourage the delusion either"
