Happy St. Patrick's Day

I made sure to wear green today.  I was not getting pinched by anyone. 

I did get to have a very interesting conversation with a very nice, but very schizophrenic patient.  The patient is not violent at all, but hears voices, talks back to them, and believes that a sheriff is controlling his thoughts through "mind portals".  When he's medicated, he is a very sweet, intelligent man.  And, when he is off his medicine, he is still a very sweet and intelligent man, he just talks to a chair with no one sitting in it. 

It's the kind of thing that makes me smile to keep from crying.
