The First Psych Unit
Hear the Best-selling YA author of the book “Was I Ever Normal” read aloud Chapter One of “Changing Destiny’s Destiny”.
After spending a month on the pediatric medical floor of St. Mary's Hospital Destiny is diagnosed with autoimmune Factor Four Autonomic Neuropathy. She will not live past her early twenties. When two nurses come in her room with a stretcher telling her that she is being moved to another unit, Destiny grabs her stuffed lamb Bllinkie, who goes everywhere with her and climbs on the stretcher. It is only when Destiny is wheeled up to the set of double locked doors that have a "Bolt Risk" warning on them and she reads the lettering above the doors that read "Child Psychiatric Unit" that she realizes her mom didn't follow them.
Destiny starts to worry about being locked up on a "psycho unit". The Bad Man plays the movie "The Ward" by John Carpenter in her head over and over again. She anticipates electroshock treatments, botched lobotomies that become lethal and vengeful ghosts. Instead there is a big bright room full of toys and children playing. But things aren't what they seem at the surface. When she is sucked into her world of hallucinations they tie her to the bed and shoot her up with sedatives, then they kick her out.
To find out why and what happens next you will have to buy this audiobook and listen to the chapter.
