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."
