Mental Health Ward

Today I went over to the mental health ward at the hospital where I work. I had to deliver medicine to the patients. The mental health ward at the hospital has two areas. Which I call "Alpha Level 1" and "Alpha Level 2." The people on Alpha Level 1 have the major issues. When I entered Alpha Level 1 today I had an older gentlemen hiding right by the door waiting to escape. I had to quickly shut the door, so he didn't get out. We were then standing really close to each other. I slowly looked at him and he quickly went into conversational mode. (Note: Before I left the pharmacy Debbie told me NEVER to look at a "Alpha Level 1" patient directly in the eye.) I realized my error after the incident.

"So do ya got killer bees in those drawers? Is that a honeycomb where you keep those killa' beeeees?" He said.

Which I responded by laughingly saying, "no sir there are no killer bees in there just medicine." (I thought he was joking.)

"Damn it! Don't call me sir, you don't know me!" He shouted.

Then he just stood there huffing and puffing with a scowl on his face. At this point I was totally freaked out so I quickly made my way into the nurses station where I was safe. Then I quickly left before he saw me again.
