Immediate Discharge
Letter
An elderly burnt-out schizophrenic discharged into the community after over
20 years in our local asylum, now thankfully closed. On shed loads of powerful
drugs, complex multi-disciplinary arrangements for follow up, multiple
co-morbidities. But none of this on the crumpled carbon copy of his Immediate
Discharge Letter. No, a model of brevity, Less is More - no name, no address,
no list of medication. And in the box for Diagnosis, "Dougie, the door has
fallen off the tumble dryer."
