Part 6/12:
One of the most harrowing parts of the story involves witnessing a staff member killing a patient, an act of violence that the speaker had reported to law enforcement, specifically Constable Brookbank. The attempt to expose such brutality led to protective custody, as staff members allegedly threatened or assaulted the speaker in retaliation.
Additionally, the speaker mentions owning a gun collection stored under their hospital bed, which they acquired legally but kept despite hospital rules. Encouraged by staff like Dr. Slichter, they eventually decided to leave the institution, having been offered financial support and a departure plan to Vancouver.
