How long have you worked here?
Six weeks.
And is it common for staff members
to lose sets of access keys
on the unit floor?

And how did the patient
obtain a metal fork?
No metal utensils on the unit.
Them's the rules. I didn't bring it.
No idea.
And patients were Eyes-On
at this time, in accordance
with Dr. Anand's orders, yes?
Yep.
Can you walk me through, please,

at Sal's Pizzeria last week?

they were in their room.

Tell me, how do so many in your care
just seem to suddenly
collectively vanish like that?

You're right. It's impossible.
And as lead physician
here at this unit with a pattern
of negligence this severe,
who would you say is to blame?
Well
it seems that you've already
made up your mind about that.
Your patients will be relocated
by the end of the week.
Staff will be assessed.
We'll see who stays and who goes.
It'll be my recommendation
that most, if not all, depart,

Here's an excerpt.
This is
from a letter that Vincent
wrote to his sister-in-law,
Johanna, in 1889.
"Though here there are some
patients very seriously ill"
"the fear
and horror of madness
that I used to have
has already much lessened.
And though here you continually
hear terrible cries and
shouts
and howls like beasts in a menagerie,
in spite of that"
"In spite of that,
people here know each other very well
and help each other
when they suffer crises."

Now, that's crazy.
Too bad none of us
are world-famous artists.
Oh, well, there it is.
That's the thing, you see.
When Van Gogh died,
he thought his art was worthless.
When he died, he couldn't
even afford rotten bread.
But he kept painting
because he believed.
He believed in his heart that
he was doing something special.
Something sincere.

those same paintings are
