 United Healthcare called me and verified I was still with them.  I told her about applying for disability, my struggle with transportation late at night, getting help cleaning my room, and struggling with food.  I called Alliance who verified

Two of the most annoying patients include one who was one nicknamed the Screaming Banshee because she would scream at voices she hears in her head.  She followed me around which got creepy.  Second patient was nosey wandering why I thrown up and status of my housing once I'm discharged.   In the courtyard, there was a garden where tomatos and cucumbers grew.    My interactions were mostly nurses, behavior ...
