I'm surprised there are doubters - then again, people who have never worked in the field can't imagine the shit that goes down.

Other 100% real things I've seen:

A blind, mentally retarded man grab a chunk of dookie off a bathroom floor and stuff it in his mouth like a Tootsie Roll.

A down syndrome woman with pica eat a small, warm chunk of fresh vomit sprayed across a living room rug by a nauseous housemate.

An old, blind, mostly crippled, retarded man with a scrotum so long & saggy that it would dangle into the water every time he sat on the toilet - which then made him convinced he'd wet his pants after standing and pulling up his pants - and so he'd demand to change his clothes. Every fucking day.

Actually I kind of get why there are doubters. Until you work with people with mental retardation and/or acquired brain injuries, it's hard to imagine how fucked up some people are. It's sad.
brutal

there needs to be serious attention paid to mental health

and not just the patients
