Joseph the "evil" agility R.N.

I should have knocked on wood.
Crazy gremlins took over my Steve.
Friday morning Steve's nurse met me at the elevator.
Thank goodness you're here, maybe you can calm him down.
(I found out later that Steve had thrown his IV stand at Joseph the RN)
Entering his room I immediately notice his lack of gown, sheet, monitor leads & IV.
He looked scared but very in charge...
MERRY, GET OUT OF HERE!
  What?
NOW, GET OUT OF HERE & CALL THE POLICE!
  I don't understand.
LEAVE NOW! I'VE BEEN POISONED.  THEY WILL KILL YOU TOO,
CALL THE POLICE NOW!
  Ok
(I text Michael Donner (Steve's brother & a mental health professional) to call me ASAP!
I went back in & told him I'd called the police but they were on other calls.
He told me, THE DOCTOR & NURSE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER.
THEY ARE IDENTICAL TWINS PULLING A SCAM.
WHEN I FIGURED IT OUT THE DR PULLED THIS 5 INCH NEEDLE OUT
& PLUNGED IT INTO MY LEG.  IT WAS POISON.
MERRY YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE, CALL THE HWY PATROL.
I'm not leaving you.
OK, BUT STAY BEHIND ME.
Steve's brother called me and told me to try & calm him down, but not to lie to him.
This was not unusual in patients with kidney failure.
Michael talked to the "evil" Dr about all the drugs Steve had been given.
He reassured me that this would pass.
Steve then explained,
THIS IS NOT A REAL HOSPITAL, IT'S A WAREHOUSE IN THE DESERT
WITH SETS THAT LOOK LIKE HOSPITAL ROOMS.
THE POLICE, IF THEY COME, WILL BE IN ON IT. NOT REAL POLICE.
THEY'LL ALL HAVE SAG CARDS.
He asked for his friend Phil to come to protect us.
So the rest of the day Phil & I stood guard.
He finally allowed the "evil" nurse to come in & re-do his IV.
Although he gave him the evil eye as he left.
